Anybody ever used "Kure-N-Seal"?

[64dragnwagon]

I just poured a slab in my pole building and my concrete guy recommended this product. It is supposed to help in the slow cure of freshly poured concrete and also seal the floor from oil spills, road salt, etc. I am not really buying it for the curing quality but I want something that will help keep the floor free of stains and easier to clean in the future. This will be a working repair shop and I do not want epoxy. Any advice would be appreciatted.

I should add it is very expensive, $125 5 gal covers 200-600 SF. I am not sure why the coverage listed is such a wide range.

We use it as a curing compound on sidewalks and driveway aprons etc...It works well for that. I am not sure what if any stain resistance properties it offers. There are several different Kure N Seal products though, one of which may act as stain protection. The range of coverage may have to do with how it is applied. We use a pump up garden sprayer.

Cure and seals are normally 12-15 % acrylic solids that flashes off in a few months. It does slow the initial hydration down some what on a freshly poured slab. This isn't a long term sealer and does very little protecting your concrete from stains or salts.

Our 53% solids acrylic concentrated sealer is laced with MMA. That is basically a liquid plastic. (I'm going to get into trouble again being too basic). You need to dilute our CSS sealer. A 5 gallon pail can make between 10-15 gallons. I think it sales for around $160.00
It also comes in 1 gallon units. I think that goes for $42.00. It make 2-3 gallons. Coverage is around 250-350 sq. ft. per gallon depending on how rough it is. At least that will give you something to compare to. gene, Elite Crete of Indiana
