SealGreen Kennel Clay Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer with Salt Defense Technology is a 5-year one component, VOC compliant, penetrating water and animal urine repellent, which contains a proprietary modified siloxane. This water-based siloxane penetrates most masonry, natural stones and concrete pores and capillaries up to ¼ inch or more depending on surface porosity and moisture content at the time of application.

THIS SEALER IS PAINTABLE FOR USE ON ONLY ON WALLS. (Not recommended for use on floors or other traffic areas). Applies with a pump sprayer. 

 ADVANTAGES

Effective on most vertical or horizontal exterior, above-grade masonry surfaces. Natural substrate color and surface textures are unaffected, with a natural finish look. Product ships in concentrate form to save on shipping cost.

Benefits of this product are:

•  Excellent resistance to water and urine intrusion
• Deep penetration into the substrate
• Exhibits good beading effects
• 100% water vapor permeable
• Mildew and fungus resistant
• Safe for kennels and animal containment areas
• Efflorescence protection
• High resistance to alkali attack
• Freeze thaw protection
• Can be reapplied to treated surfaces
• Surface can be painted after sealer application

 SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer react with the silica in concrete and masonry in the presence of ultraviolet light and atmospheric moisture. This reaction forms strong permanent bonds beneath the surface and creates a hydrophobic zone that prevents water and urine molecules from penetrating, while allowing free migration of water vapors. This eliminates stone or brick shedding. The chemical bonds formed in this process allow SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer to become an integral part of the substrate and provide long-term water and urine repellent protection. Recommended for Split face concrete blocks, exposed aggregate, kennels, concrete or stone foundation walls, clay bricks, cinder block, pavers, any type of concrete surface with large pores, bridges hairline cracks, prevents salts and deicers from penetrating. Allow the seal material to breathe no moisture entrapment. The sealer after the application is cured, can be painted.

 SealGreen Cleaners and Sealers are state-of-the-art protective treatments and have developed a reputation by architects and building professionals as the premier solution for water repellents and sealers. SealGreen is dedicated to solving the destructive influence water intrusion and other elements have on building materials

The chemical bonds formed in this process allow SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone, and Concrete Sealer to become an integral part of the substrate and provide long-term water repellent protection

To clean bricks or remove mold or mildew from surface to be seal we recommend using SealGreen Mold and Mildew Remover

 APPLICATIONS

Recommended surfaces include architectural precast or cast in place, kennels, animal containment areas, split face concrete blocks, brick, mortars, natural stones, limestone, granite, sandstone, terra cotta, ceramic tile and grout, adobe, exposed aggregate products, Portland cement stucco, plaster and concrete masonry units. Protects horizontal surfaces such as pavements, sidewalks, and plazas. It should also be used on vertical surfaces with leaks and or where extra protection is desired.

Also protects zoos commercial animal kennels, bridges, parking decks, airport taxiways and aprons, piers and marine structures, and other surfaces requiring urine protection, outstanding corrosion resistance and protection from chloride penetration. For use on brick masonry to protect against the entrance of
wind-driven rain. To reduce the effects of mildew, efflorescence, and stains from concrete and masonry.

APPEARANCE
SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer is clear, non-yellowing and does not change the color or appearance of typical surfaces to which they are applied. Buildings and structures stay cleaner because conditions which contribute to staining are reduced and dirt rinses away more readily.

PRETREATMENT FOR PAINT
Water can penetrate through most paints and coatings. This leads to damp substrates and blistering and peeling of paint. Pre-treating concrete, masonry, or stucco with SealGreen Kennel Brick and Stone Concrete sealer prior to painting keeps walls drier and extends the life of the paint.

SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer is compatible with most latex and other paints. But to assure compatibility between paint and pre-treatment, a small test application is recommended. Note: Do not use a pre-treatment or allow over-spray on metal or other nonporous surfaces to be painted.

 LIMITATIONS

Not intended for below-grade waterproofing. SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer will leave a residue on non-porous substrates such as glass windows, metal frames and painted surfaces. Caution should be taken with specialty coated glass or plastic windows.

 Check compatibility before application. Protect materials which can be damaged by solvents.

Do not apply when following conditions are present:
Ambient or surface temperature less than 40° F. Or predicted to fall below 40° F within 24 hours following application. Rain within 72 hours prior to application or predicted within four hours after application. Wet or frozen substrates. High winds which could cause excessive overspray.

Application should be completed by qualified applicators with experience applying water repellents. Application equipment should be clean and free of foreign materials which could be dissolved and deposited on surfaces to be treated. Contact SealGreen for additional precautions and information on compatibility with specific materials.

INSTALLATION

Best results are obtained by applying SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer on clean and dry substrates. All surfaces must be cleaned to remove all traces of dirt, dust, efflorescence, mold, salt, grease, oil, asphalt, laitance, curing compounds, paint, coatings, and other contaminants. Acceptable surface cleaning methods include shot-blasting, sandblasting, water-blasting and chemical cleaners. If chemical cleaning agents are used, neutralize and wash off residues completely. SealGreen makes a complete line of recommended cleaners safe for this sealer application. Allow surface to dry at least 72 hours after water cleaning. Check with SealGreen representative to verify suitable cleaning methods, products and that the surface preparation is adequate.

As a standard procedure, fresh concrete should be allowed to dry for 28 days before application. Sealer application can take place after 15 days of concrete installation. All re-pointing must be completed and allowed to cure at least 3 days. Concrete repair and replacement must be completed prior to application. Patching materials, caulking, sealing materials, traffic paint must be fully cured before applying SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer. In addition, the actual amount of material that is used for each application is dependent on the absorptive capacity of the substrate. Before applying, it is recommended that preliminary tests be conducted to determine usage and to test the effectiveness of the treatment. Two applications are recommended.

Application: Apply water repellents as early as practical to protect substrates during construction, but not before wall cap, flashing, and roof are in place and water trapped in structure has been drained.

Spray apply SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer by low-pressure (150 psi maximum) pumping equipment with a fan type spray nozzle. Alternate methods include nap roller (1”) or by brush. Required application rate varies from 70 to 175 sq. ft. per gallon depending on surface texture and absorbency.

Vertical Surfaces: Mix well before using. Test small area before starting widespread application to assure desired results and coverage rates. Apply when surface and air temperatures are between 40°F to 110°F. Provide adequate
ventilation.

Apply in a flooding application, from the bottom up so the material runs down 6 to 8 inches below the spray pattern. On horizontal surfaces the liquid material should pond on the surface at least 5 seconds before being absorbed. For best results two applications are recommended with the second application applied using a wet-on-wet technique, retreating within three to five minutes after initial application. A wet treated surface may be agitated with a soft bristle scrub brush or thick nap roller to ensure more even distribution and greater penetration. During application, precautions should be taken to protect the surrounding area from over-spray. Remove over-spray from non-targeted surfaces immediately with soap and water. Apply to southern exposed areas during coolest part of the day.

Horizontal Surfaces: Mix well before using. Pretest to measure material coverage rates. Apply enough material so that solution stands for 60 seconds before completely penetrating the surface. If additional material is required to reach desired coverage rate, a wet-on-wet application can be used. Avoid puddling or ponding, brush, or thick nap roller to spread material to more porous area. If applicable, block all drains and use absorptive coverings to contain run-off of excess material. To avoid unnecessary clean-up, use soap and water to remove over-spray as soon as possible.

 Caution: Over application of material may cause darkening of surface or white stains.

Dry Time: To touch, or 2 to 6 hours depending on temperature and humidity.
Clean Up: Thoroughly rinse spray equipment with clean water. Wash rollers with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.

Precautions: Fire hazards are eliminated since SealGreen Kennel Brick, Natural Stone and Concrete Sealer is water-based and does not contain combustible or flammable solvents. Respiratory protection is not required during normal use and handling. Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for more detailed information.
