Q: Is there a sealer to protect against oil stains?
A: Protect Natural Sealer is one of the few products available in the marketplace with these characteristics. Protect Natural Sealer and similar products contain ingredients which are banned in some countries. Hence availability going forward requires new technology to offer the same protection.
Q: How many coats should be applied to (a) green concrete (b) old concrete?
A: Minimum of two coats.
Q: Do I need to acid wash in all circumstances?
A: An acid wash is a last resort where cleaning is concerned. Usually a commercial grade detergent, brush and high-pressure hose will remove most stains. Degreaser if needed.
Q: When should I use an epoxy coating or a penetrating coating?
A: Epoxy coatings are recommended in food preparation areas & showrooms that require a high-quality finish. Penetrating sealers are best suited to factory & roadway applications.
Q: Why are epoxy coatings so expensive?
A: Premium quality demands a premium price.
Q: How often should the coating be renewed?
A: Recoating will depend on the product type and application. Each surface substrate will require ongoing care & maintenance. Normal wear & tear should allow a serviceable life of 4 – 10yrs.

A: No. The active thinners in the sealer will delaminate the paint. Paint surfaces must always be removed.
