Crystal Clear is a state of the art proprietary formulation which creates the highest gloss possible on concrete. This premium quality, super high gloss, non yellowing, curing and sealing compound coats concrete with a chemically bonded siliconized acrylic film that deepens the color and enhances the look of pigmented or decorative concrete. Crystal Clear completely resists discoloration from ultraviolet light exposure and keeps its high gloss finish much longer than standard concrete sealers. Crystal Clear will retard efflorescence while resisting oil, grease and food stains. Crystal Clear eliminates concrete dusting, while protecting concrete against salt and water penetration.

- Advantages
Crystal Clear is much tougher than traditional acrylic sealers. The high gloss created by Crystal Clear lasts up to 70% longer.; Crystal Clear completely resists discoloration from ultraviolet light exposure.; Crystal Clear cures concrete to ASTM C1315 standards to minimize cracking and increase the strength of concrete.; Protects surfaces against deicing chemicals, fertilizers, salts, grease, oil, alkalies, mild acids and detergents.
- Limitations
Crystal Clear is not for use on interior surfaces.; Do not use on surfaces to receive concrete overlays or toppings. Always test for compatibility and adhe-sion.; Do not use as a bond breaker for tilt wall construction or on surfaces requiring rubbing.; Do not apply to joints or channels scheduled to re-ceive elastomeric caulks.; Do not use if ambient or substrate temperature is be-low 40°F (4°C). For best results condition material to a minimum of 50°F (10°C) prior to application.; Do not apply in the presence of foodstuffs. USDA compliance pertains to fully cured coating.; Coating may be softened and lifted by gasoline or other strong organic solvents such as xylene, toluene, or lacquer thinner. Solvent, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, peanut oil, and cooking oils must be cleaned quickly to prevent damage.; Safety Data Sheet and all label precautions must be fully understood before using product.; Quality curing or sealing compounds may darken or highlight the color variations naturally pre-sent in con-crete.
