Certi-Vex Guard Clear AIM is an innovative, low-VOC, solvent-based, high gloss, non-yellowing, one step styrene acrylic curing compound with a penetrating water repellent silane sealer for use on both new and existing broom finish and decorative concrete. The film forming acrylic cures new concrete to ASTM specifications, while penetrating silane sealer reacts with alkali and moisture within pores and capillaries to form a hydrophobic gel, protecting the concrete from the damaging effects of water and chloride penetration.
