ChemMasters Inc. Crystal Clear A
- Chemical Family
- Acrylics & Acrylates
Crystal Clear-A 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 ClearA completely resists discoloration from ultraviolet light exposure and keeps its high gloss finish much longer than standard concrete sealers. Crystal Clear-A will retard efflorescence while resisting oil, grease and food stains. Crystal Clear-A eliminates concrete dusting, while protecting concrete against salt and water penetration.
