DESCRIPTION

CERTI-VEX AC1315 SUPER GLOSS continues Vexcon Chemical’s leadership in the development of break through polymer technology. Certi-Vex AC1315 Super Gloss is the highest solids cure and seal on the market today offering superior gloss, greater long term protection, fast drying and easier application. Certi-Vex AC1315 Super Gloss quickly forms a hard clear film that is permanent, tough, chemical and slip resistant, water repellent, dustproof, and non-yellowing. Certi-Vex AC1315 Super Gloss features Vexcon’s breathable technology which allows moisture vapor to pass through rather than becoming trapped, preventing whitening, peeling and flaking.The product is ideal for both interior and exterior applications on new and existing floors, stamped and decorated concrete surfaces. It contains no fillers, modifiers or extenders that can cause sealers to yellow. Independent laboratory testing confirms that the product’s non-yellowing characteristics outlast and out perform competitive products.

APPLICATION

• Product is supplied at the proper consistency for application and dilution will reduce efficiency and gloss.
• Thoroughly mix before applying.
• To improve non-slip profile use Certi-Vex Grip.
• Note; product forms a surface film quickly depending on temperature, humidity and wind conditions therefore, for best results follow all equipment and application instructions carefully.

If applying by sprayer
• Apply by low-pressure high solids commercial grade solvent resistant sprayer with neoprene fittings. (Do not use garden or form oil sprayers).
• The sprayer must be clean and dry. If cleaning with solvents is required, use Certi-Vex Equipment Cleaner. Clean sprayer as directed between applications to ensure best results.
• If spraying and back rolling, best application is to spray enough material that a second person can immediately back roll following the spray applicator. Follow roller instructions below. Caution; do not delay the back roll as the area will dry quickly.

If applying by roller
• For best results use Vexcon’s EvenFlow Applicator or ¼ " nap mohair roller.
• Use a roller pan to take off excess product. Do not dip and roll or pour and spread
• Do not over-work material, apply in a single lapping motion. Do not roll area back and forth, this can cause the film to break and product to become stringy.
• Do not run roller dry, keep a wet edge and do sections small enough to roll only once over wet material.
• Do not roll over dry material this can cause the product to become stringy. To aid in keeping roller wet and fluid, keep a roller pan filled with Certi-Vex Coating Repair.
• Over rolling or using incorrect rollers will cause bubbles to form in the coating. If this occurs on final coat corrective procedure is to apply a light coat of Certi-Vex Coating Repair over the area. This will recast (heal) the coating and eliminate the bubbles. If this occurs on first coat, follow corrective procedure above then apply final coat.
• Material should not be allowed to puddle.
• Do not allow sealed area to become wet with water until dry. See dry times.
• Protect all surrounding areas from over spray.
• The sealer can be applied to damp surfaces, however, do not apply over puddled water.

CURING AND SEALING NEW CONCRETE

• Apply Certi-Vex AC1315 Super Gloss to still damp freshly finished concrete as soon as the surface cannot be marred, and water sheen disappears. Do not apply over freestanding water.
• If application is delayed, concrete must be kept wet (preferably by water spray mist) until product can be applied.
• If concrete is allowed to dry use Certi-Vex Etch & Efflorescence Remover to clean and prepare the surface.
• Apply first coat at 300-400 sq.ft/gal (7.5 m²/L). A second coat is recommended for long term durability.See Second Coat section

SURFACE PREPARATION EXISTING CONCRETE

The concrete surface must be properly repaired, structurally sound and cleaned. Use Vexcon’s surface prep and cleaning products to properly clean the surface prior to application.

• To remove coatings such as epoxies, sealers and curing compounds use Certi-Vex Concrete Stripper.
• The concrete should be cleaned with Certi-Vex Super Degreaser & Cleaner to remove any dust, dirt or debris and allowed to dry for a minimum of 24 hours after cleaning.
• To remove efflorescence or to etch the surface for improved material penetration use Certi-Vex Etch & Efflorescence Remover.
• There should be no freestanding water.
• Large cracks should be repaired using Powercoat Epoxy Joint Sealant.

SEALING EXISTING CONCRETE

• Prior to application a test area must be performed to determine proper application rate and required surface preparation.
• To determine that the concrete is penetrable perform a water absorbency test by applying water to a representative portion of the prepared concrete floor. A properly prepared surface when dry will immediately absorb clean water without any surface beading effects.
• If required use Certi-Vex Etch & Efflorescence Remover to improve sealer penetration. Application to still damp surfaces is acceptable however free standing water must be removed.
• Apply Certi-Vex AC 1315 Super Gloss at 400-500 sq.ft. /gal (10-12.5 m²/L) on hard non-porous floors and 250-300 sq.ft. /gal (6.2-7.5 m²/L) on porous floors.

SECOND COAT

Apply after 1st coat has dried at 500-600 sq.ft. /gal (12.5-15 m²/L).

TOPCOATS AND ADHESIVES

Certi-Vex AC1315 Super Gloss cured concrete can be topcoated with a variety of paints, adhesives and mastics a minimum of 28 days after application. It is strongly suggested that a test area be applied prior to coating the entire surface, since products can adhere to concrete in varying degrees. Check with manufacturer of the topcoat for any precautionary and compatibility information.

MAINTENANCE

Spills should be removed promptly and cleaned. Sealed areas should be cleaned regularly, use Certi-Vex Super Degreaser & Cleaner for all cleaning requirements. Periodic reapplication may be required as the sealer wears off
