| Description |
ALLPRO® PRIME & SEAL™ Acrylic Water Sealant is a clear, water-based acrylic sealer formulated for use as a clear finish coat on interior brick and masonry surfaces or to reduce moisture penetration on exterior, above grade, non-porous aggregates, such as brick, stone, smooth masonry, and other moderately dense substrates. The product can also be used as a bonding type primer over chalky surfaces or as an additive to acrylic latex paints to help improve adhesion over most painted or unpainted vertical surfaces, including masonry, concrete, block, wood, and aluminum siding. When dry, Prime & Seal provides a subtle satin finish to the substrate. Easy-to-use water clean-up formula.

| Prominent Features |
|
| Uses |
Ideal for use as a water repellent on smooth concrete and masonry, stucco, brick, stone, adobe, drywall, plaster, grout, pottery, galvanized metal, vinyl siding, and more. Prime & Seal can also be used as a masonry conditioner for binding moderately chalk-laden surfaces prior to final coating with top quality exterior latex house paint or elastomeric coating. By sealing the substrate surface, Prime & Seal increases the overall waterproofing performance of topcoats, as well as extending top coat coverage - a cost saving advantage.
|
| Limitations | Do
not use over extremely dense or polished surfaces. Do not use on extremely
porous surfaces. It is not suitable for use over asphalt surfaces nor
is it recommended for below grade applications. ALLPRO Prime & Seal will
not prevent water penetration through structural cracks, defects, or open
joints. The application of Prime & Seal will reduce the vapor transmission
rate of the substrate which can result in a "blushing" effect to the surface
during extremely moist conditions. Do not apply when temperature of surface
or air is below 50 degrees F (10 degrees C). If rain or threatening weather
is expected within 8 hours, delay application until dry conditions. Never
apply to frozen or frost covered substrates. Do not apply product to wet
or water saturated substrates or when relative humidity is above 90%.
Not for use below grade or under water. Do not use on horizontal surfaces.
KEEP FROM FREEZING.

| Surface Preparation | The
most important factor in achieving a durable, quality finish is proper
surface preparation. The substrate must be free from all surface contamination
such as dirt, dust, laitance, mold, mildew, mortar, mill scale, loose
paint, surface efflorescence, grease, oil, excessive chalk, and foreign
matter. The removal of grease, oil, and dirt is best achieved by pressure
cleaning while utilizing commercial degreasers. Neutralize chemical cleaners,
and complete tuck-pointing, crack and delamination (spalling) repairs
prior to the application of Prime & Seal. Remove previous coatings by mechanical
means (Caution: read all warning statements pertaining to dust masks,
etc.). Do not apply over coated surfaces without testing for compatibility
and adhesion.
Efflorescence is best removed by scraping and wire brushing the surface. Dust, dirt and chalk are best removed by high-pressure water blasting. To determine if the chalk has been sufficiently removed, wipe hand over the dried surface; if a powdery colored residue is still visually evident on the hand, then more high-pressure water blasting is required to remove this chalky layer to a practical bare minimum. Removal of laitance and any other under bound chalk-like matter is best achieved by etching the surface with a dilute solution of Muriatic acid; i.e., 4 parts water to 1 part Muriatic acid. Note: Always be sure to read all manufacturers' instructions pertinent to degreasers and Muriatic acid solutions prior to use.
|
| Application | Apply
when temperature of surface and air is above 50 degrees F (10 degrees
C). Prime & Seal is alkali resistant, and can be applied to masonry surfaces
14 days after construction.
Cementitious Surfaces: Wood: *Do not use on wood that has been recently surface treated with insecticides and/or chemical preservative compounds that prevent dry rot.

KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. NOTICE: This product contains solvents.
reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational exposure to
solvents with permanent brain damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately
concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. For
emergency information within the United States, call (800)424-9300;
outside the U.S. call (703)527-3887 [CHEMTREC]. For additional safety
and chronic hazard information, refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for

container after each use. If sanding is done, wear dust mask to avoid
breathing of sanding dust. IMPORTANT! Spray equipment must be operated
with care and in strict accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Avoid breathing vapor, spray mist or sanding dust. Wear an appropriate,
properly fitted respirator (NIOSH/MSHA approved) during and after
application unless air monitoring demonstrates vapor/mist labels are
below applicable limits. Follow respirator manufacturer's directions for
respirator use. FIRST AID: In case of skin contact, wash off quickly
with plenty of water, then soap and water; remove contaminated clothing.
For eye contact flush immediately with large amounts of water,
especially under lids, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain emergency medical
treatment. If swallowed, obtain medical treatment immediately. If
inhalation causes physical discomfort, remove to fresh air. Restore and
support continued breathing. Have trained person give oxygen if
necessary. If discomfort persists or any breathing difficulty occurs,
get medical help. In case of spillage, absorb with inert material and
dispose of in accordance with applicable regulations. KEEP FROM FREEZING. Manufactured For:
