Description
Baracade WB 244
Concrete Penetrating sealer
BARACADE WB 244 is a water based, deep concrete penetrating sealer, oligomeric siloxane/silane water repellent which is non-staining and non-yellowing.
Coverage
Approximate Coverage ft2/gal (m2/L) = 100 to 150 (2.45 to 3.68) /gal
Because of variations in surface density, the following coverage rates are approximate and are intended for estimating purposes only. Use test applications on actual surfaces to accurately determine coverage rates. Extremely porous surfaces may require two coats of BARACADE WB 244. When two coats are required, apply the second coat on the still wet BARACADE WB 244 by following a “wet on wet” technique.
Surface Preparation: Cure new concrete 28 days before application. Surface must be clean, dry and structurally sound. The substrate must also be free of all curing compounds, form release agents and any other contaminants which may prevent the proper penetration of BARACADE WB 244. Prior to application, moving joints or cracks must be properly sealed with an elastomeric joint sealant.
Non-moving cracks or voids wider than 1/64 inch (0.4 mm) must be filled with a suitable material. Surfaces must be dry for a minimum of 24 hours prior to application. Mask all adjacent surfaces including grass, plants, shrubs and asphalt to protect from drips or over spray.
Mixing: BARACADE WB 244 does not normally require mixing.
Application: For best results, BARACADE WB 244 should be applied using airless spray equipment. A garden sprayer may be used for smaller projects only when an airless sprayer is not available. To produce the proper material flow, reduce air pressure on pumping equipment and use spray tips with orifice sizes no smaller than 0.035 inch (0.9 mm). Larger tips may be required with some spray equipment to get desired material flow. Flood the surface with BARACADE WB 244 using a low pressure sprayer. A roller or broom may also be used. Distribute material evenly. Do not allow the material to puddle. When applying to vertical surfaces, work from the bottom up.
