Use and Care Manual

LR716
Remove all dirt, wax, dust, mildew, and loose
or scaling material with a scraper, wire brush
o
r stiff bristle brush. Grease,wax and oil
should be removed by scrubbing with
DRYLOK CONCRETE CLEANER &
DEGREASER according to manufacturers
d
irections or use a heavy duty detergent in
warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean
w
ater. Allow to dry. If using a pressure
washer, do not use on a pressure seing
above 1750 psi to avoid damaging the
concrete. Remember, concrete acts like a
sponge, pressure washing and general
cleaning may trap residual moisture in the
concrete.
To check for trapped moisture, tape a 12’
x12” piece of 3 mil plastic or aluminum foil
tightly on all four edges to the surface.
Remove it aer 24 hours. If the oor side of
the plastic or foil is damp, allow additional
drying and repeat the test.
EFFLORESCENCE a white, powdery crystal-
like deposit visible on the masonry surface,
should be removed.
DRYLOK ETCH or muriatic acid, used
according to manufacturer’s directions, are
effective efflorescence removal agents. All
masonry surfaces are subject to occurrences
of eorescence.
Properly prepared concrete should look and
feel like medium grit sandpaper. If concrete
remains smooth, repeat etching procedure.
Test concrete porosity by sprinkling a few
drops of water onto the surface in several
areas. If the water is readily absorbed, you
are ready to paint. If it beads or lays on the
surface additional cleaning and etching is
needed. Rinse thoroughly with clean water
and allow to dry for 24 hours.
NOTE: Rinse etching solutions thoroughly.
Etching solution allowed to dry on the
masonry surface will prevent proper
penetration and curing of the DRYLOK®
Concrete Protector. Surface must be
thoroughly dry. Do not apply to damp
surfaces. For exterior surfaces, do not apply if
rain is expected within 24 hours. Wait for a
dry, rain-free period.
New concrete and freshly applied portland
cement based patching compounds must be
cured for a minimum of 24 hours prior to
application of DRYLOK® Concrete Protector.
Patch all holes and cracks with DRYLOK
CONCRETE PATCH or a suitable cement
b
ased patching compound. Be sure to
smooth the patch evenly. Allow the patched
area to dry thoroughly.
If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN
DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO
AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-
approved respirator to control lead
exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start,
nd out how to protect yourself and your
family by contacting the National Lead
Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or
log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
Stir thoroughly before application.
DRYLOK® Concrete Protector appears milky
in the can but dries clear. Apply only when
air and surface temperature is above 50ºF
and the relative humidity is below 60%.
Apply by brush, roller or squeegee. Spread
evenly, do not allow puddles or heavy
surface lm to occur. Apply one coat. If aer
one coat, water droplets are readily
absorbed into the surface (extremely porous
surfaces), a second coat may be required.
Allow 6 hours between coats. DRYLOK
Concrete Protector should not be used to
build up surface lm. As additional coats are
applied, sheen build-up will occur and
surface will become slippery when wet. On
light-colored surfaces, some slight darkening
may take place.
Due to variations in porosity, when applied
over agstone, slate, terrazzo, dense, smooth
or light colored concrete, thin DRYLOK
Concrete Protector with equal parts of clean,
lukewarm water to minimize color variations.
Test on a small area to see nal effect.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO
NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. CLOSE
CONTAINER AFTER EACH USE. KEEP
FROM FREEZING.
EYES: Flush immediately with large amounts
of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a
p
hysician if irritation persists..
SKIN: Wash affected areas with soap and
water. Consult a physician if irritation
persists.
INGESTION: Seek medical aention. If
individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not
give anything by mouth. Place individual on
the le side with head down. Contact a
physician, medical facility or poison control
center for advice about whether to induce
vomiting.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air.
