APPLICATION METHOD :
This material is designed primarily as a coating for application on clean concrete surfaces. For maximum adhesion, always etch concrete with a 25% solution (in water) of muriatic acid, and allow to stand for 15 minutes. Then flush thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry completely before coating. Unlike solvent-borne sealers, AQUA POX (NS) may be applied to damp concrete surfaces without fear of delamination and adhesion loss.
