This clear, synthetic resin emulsion has a high solid content and has been designed for the protection of concrete surfaces from dusting and delamination, and to seal the floor from liquids, thus preventing staining and damage on concrete surfaces. Furthermore, the low viscosity formulation ensures maximum penetration into the capillary pores, strengthening the substrate.

Being extremely flexible, with an elongation rate of 350%, this make the coating ideal where there are high amounts of flexing, movement, and vibration.

  • Seals porous surfaces
  • Prevents dusting
  • Extremely flexible
  • Suitable for floors and walls
  • Solvent free, non toxic and non taint
  • Quick drying paint
  • May be applied to damp surfaces
  • Very easy application
  • Applied by brush, roller, or squeegee
  • Easy cleaning routines saving time and money

Most popular coverage and cure times for industrial users:

Pack sizes: 5L and 20L units

Coverage rate: 5L unit covers 40-50sq.m,

20L drum covers 160-200sq.m

Curing time @ 20°C: 3 hours minimum for foot traffic

24 hours minimum for vehicular traffic

Quick and easy to apply and can be applied over most floors and also previously painted surfaces. With an elongation rate of 350% Flortex Clearseal is very flexible and as a result, is excellent for the sealing of timber surfaces, particularly mezzanine flooring. Due to its flexibility, it has good impact and abrasion resistance. Good resistance to stains and rubber marks.

Typical Areas of Use

Flortex Clearseal is very easy to apply and is ideal for most commercial areas: factory and warehouse floors, kitchens, food processing areas, garage areas, workshops, production, and plant rooms.

Proven since 1991 in almost every industry, Flortex Clearseal is very easy to apply and is ideal for most commercial areas: warehouses and showrooms, garage floors, workshops and factories, production areas, hospitals, and schools. It can also be used in domestic environments such as driveways, pathways, ramps and steps, storage areas and garages.

Suitable Substrates

After appropriate preparation, Flortex Clearseal may be applied to both old and new concrete floors, brick, and block paving, stone, and wood.  However, due to the many and varied paints on the market, make absolutely sure the existing sealer or paint has both fully cured and fully adhered to the substrate.

Colour & Packaging

Flortex Clearseal is milky white when applied, turning to clear as curing takes place. It is normally in stock and available to order and supplied in 5L and 20L units.

Condition of Substrate (Important)

If your concrete floor is suffering from oil contamination or rising damp, it is very important that the sealer you use is suitable for this. Please contact our team for technical advice to establish the correct method of preparation as well as the correct primer to be used, or indeed to discuss an alternative product more suited to your needs.

It is far more important to us to offer the RIGHT solution and have a happy customer, than a quick sale ending in disappointment!

Surface Preparation

Floor areas must be clean, dry, and free or all contamination. Oil and grease deposits may be removed by Polycote’s Degrease IT in accordance with relevant Data Sheet. The floor must be allowed to dry cleaned and any dust or debris swept or vacuumed off. Wall surfaces to be sealed should be brushed dry to remove dust, dirt, and loose material.

Stir well before use and do not thin. Flortex Clearseal may be applied using a soft brush or broom, a nylon pile roller or squeegee. A thin, even, puddle-free first coat should be applied, and this must be allowed to dry thoroughly (at least 1-2 hours in warm, dry, well-ventilated conditions, longer if cold and damp) before applying a second coat.

Curing Time and Application Conditions

Application temperature for sealers should be between 5°C and 25°C. Allow the sealer to dry completely before reopening the area to traffic: foot traffic 3 hours, vehicular 36 hours.

Coverage

Because of its penetrating characteristics, the coverage of Flortex Clearseal is subject to great variation depending on the porosity of the concrete floor. As a guide the coverage is generally between 8-10m² per litre coat. The coverage of the second coat will normally be considerably more than the first.

Cleaning

Tools and equipment, hands and skin should be cleaned whilst material is still wet using soap and water.

Shelf Life and storage

The shelf life of Flortex Clearseal is up to 18 months if stored in dry conditions at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C. Storage at higher temperatures may reduce the shelf life. Protect from frost.
