Clear Sealer, Single Component Option

[LegacyIndustrial]

For guys and gals that don't want to tackle a full blown epoxy job or don't have the funds for a racedeck floor, gather round...

If your floor is fairly raw and not coated you can use a single component sealer which will impart good resistance to moisture and dusting, this would be for the person who does not spill much gas or oil on the floor. This will cost you approx. .10 per sq ft.

If you want the clear sealer and you may spill gas and oil , you can opt for a single component urethane sealer. Cost you approx. .17 per sq ft.

The only prep is a good scrubbing with a citrus based cleaner, let dry completely and coat. These products are water based and won't peel or fret if there is a little moisture in the substrate. You can always go back to an Epoxy or RaceDeck later when times are better.

Companies like Alpha Garage (on this forum) have these also. Some of the folks on this forum will also offer install if you are close to them. In fact, I hope they will add there links after mine and add some facts for you to read.


Hope this helps.

I added this because I noticed some folks getting in above their heads.

Thanks for the infor, Scotty. I want the concrete look but will need the better finish for gas and oil spills.
thanks, Mike

I am confused! I looked at the Tech Data and found this for the acrylic urethane sealer:

http://legacyindustrial.net/images/HD031 Tech Data.pdf

"55-100 degrees F with relative humidity below 85%
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE:
REAGENT RATING
xylene A
mek A
gasoline A
10% sodium hydroxide B
50% sodium hydroxide B
acetic acid 5% A
10% sulfuric B
10% hydrochloric acid B
20% nitric acid A
ethylene glycol B
Rating key: A - not recommended, B - 2 hour term splash spill, C - 8 hour term
splash spill, D - 72 hour immersion, E - long term immersion. NOTE: extensive
chemical resistance information is available through your sales representative.
PRIMER:
None"

This indicates that it is not recommended for gasoline. ?????

Also interested to know about the gas resistance... This information came at the right time, as I was looking at sealing my floor using Quikrete's High Gloss Sealer.
The urethane sounds to be a little better for not much more $$. Will I only need 1 coat to make the floor as high gloss as the sample pic in your link?

And is 5 gal the only size? I have 1250 sq ft to cover. thanks

Gents:

This product is a low cost alternative to epoxy which is good and a true dual component urethane which is excellent.

You can spill gas and oil with a quick clean-up (hour or less).
Try that with a deck paint, it will begin to peel immediately.

If you are on a budget, this is your answer. The best part is you can still apply a more expensive solution later on with simple grinding.

Coverage is: approx. 400 sq ft. per gallon dependent on substrate porosity.

Thanks,

Yes, the 5 gallon size is the only size we make. Find a buddy and split it.

Also...
If you want really good resistance to gasoline try polishing your concrete or put down a clear epoxy primer with a clear dual component urethane.
