AcrylaSeal™ Water-Based Acrylic Concrete Sealer

ConcreteShield™ AcrylaSeal is a water-based clear acrylic sealer for concrete driveways, pavers, exposed aggregate, coloured concrete and decorative surfaces. Its low-odour, fast-drying formula provides a durable semi-gloss finish while enhancing and protecting the concrete surface.

Information

ConcreteShield™ AcrylaSeal is a water-based acrylic concrete sealer designed to protect and enhance concrete and paving surfaces. It dries to a clear semi-gloss finish that enhances the natural colour of the substrate while helping resist oil, grease, dust, dirt and weathering.

The fast-drying, low-odour formulation is suitable for interior and exterior applications including concrete driveways, factory floors, pavers, coloured concrete, exposed aggregate, pattern paving and decorative concrete.

AcrylaSeal provides a durable protective film while making sealed surfaces easier to clean and maintain. Its water-based formulation makes it particularly suitable where lower odour and easier application are preferred.

For exterior concrete and paving where stronger colour enhancement and a traditional solvent-based acrylic finish are required, consider AcrylaSolv™ Solvent-Based Acrylic Concrete Sealer.

Material

Water-Based Acrylic

Advantages

  • Clear semi-gloss finish
  • Enhances the natural colour and appearance of concrete
  • Water-based and low odour
  • Fast drying for efficient application
  • Excellent adhesion to properly prepared porous concrete
  • Helps resist oil, grease, dirt and common surface staining
  • Good wear and weather resistance
  • Excellent resistance to yellowing
  • Makes sealed surfaces easier to clean and maintain
  • Suitable for interior and exterior applications
  • Suitable for coloured and decorative concrete
  • Easy roller or lambswool applicator application
  • Coverage of approximately 10–15 m²/L depending on substrate porosity

Product Application

Ensure the surface is clean, completely dry and free from dust, oil, grease, curing compounds and contaminants. Previously sealed surfaces should be tested for compatibility and adhesion before recoating.

Apply AcrylaSeal evenly using a lambswool applicator or 10 mm nap roller. Apply a minimum of two thin, uniform coats at approximately 10–15 m²/L per coat. Avoid excessive film build, puddling or pooling.

At 25°C and 65% relative humidity, allow approximately 2 hours between coats or until the entire surface is touch dry. Allow approximately 6–8 hours before pedestrian traffic. Full cure is typically achieved within 24–72 hours depending on temperature, humidity and film thickness.

Apply only when substrate and ambient temperatures are between 10°C and 35°C. Always complete a test area first, particularly on coloured or decorative concrete.

Where additional surface grip is required, Fortis Non-Slip Additive can be incorporated where appropriate.

For a solvent-based sealer with stronger colour enhancement, consider AcrylaSolv™.

Surfaces

Suitable Surfaces

ConcreteShield™ AcrylaSeal is designed for properly prepared, porous and completely dry concrete and masonry surfaces including:

  • Concrete driveways
  • Exposed aggregate
  • Concrete pavers
  • Coloured concrete
  • Pattern and stencil concrete
  • Decorative concrete
  • Factory and workshop concrete floors
  • Paths, patios and entertaining areas

Surfaces must be clean, sound and free from dust, oil, grease, curing compounds, efflorescence and other contaminants that may interfere with adhesion.

AcrylaSeal is a film-forming sealer and may alter the colour, sheen and slip characteristics of the surface. Always apply a test area before sealing decorative, coloured or exposed aggregate concrete.

Dense, polished, non-porous or previously sealed surfaces should be tested for compatibility and adhesion before full application.

FAQs

Can AcrylaSeal be used on concrete driveways?

Yes. AcrylaSeal is suitable for properly prepared concrete driveways, providing a clear semi-gloss protective finish that enhances the appearance of the concrete.

How many coats are required?

Apply a minimum of two thin, uniform coats for consistent protection and appearance. Avoid excessive film build or pooling.

How much AcrylaSeal will I need?

Typical coverage is 10–15 m²/L per coat. Porous or textured concrete may require more sealer.

Will AcrylaSeal change the appearance of concrete?

Yes. It dries clear with a semi-gloss finish that enhances the natural colour of concrete. Test a small area first on decorative or coloured surfaces.

Can AcrylaSeal be applied over an existing sealer?

Only if the existing coating is sound, clean and compatible. Test adhesion first and remove incompatible or poorly bonded coatings.

Does concrete need to be dry before sealing?

Yes. Concrete must be completely dry. Trapped moisture can affect adhesion, appearance and coating performance.

How long does AcrylaSeal take to dry?

Allow about 2 hours between coats at 25°C and 65% RH. Pedestrian traffic can normally resume after 6–8 hours, with full cure in 24–72 hours.

Can sealed concrete become slippery when wet?

Film-forming sealers can alter slip resistance. Use a compatible Fortis non-slip additive where additional slip resistance is required.

How is AcrylaSeal different from a penetrating sealer?

AcrylaSeal forms a clear semi-gloss protective film that enhances colour. Penetrating sealers absorb into concrete and generally retain a more natural appearance.
