SLABSEAL® 23 is an ultra-low V.O.C. pure acrylic concrete sealer formulated to protect and enhance decorative concrete surfaces. Professional concrete flooring contractors use these concrete floor coatings in residential and commercial environments to deliver a durable, UV-resistant finish. Available in both high gloss and matte finishes, this solvent-based sealer ensures long-lasting performance on exposed aggregate, stamped concrete and pavers.
SLABSEAL® 23 functions as a standalone high-performance sealer for decorative concrete surfaces. It requires a clean, contaminant-free substrate prepared with SLABHARD Orange Clean or an appropriate commercial concrete etch. Do not thin the product or apply it over incompatible foreign coatings. It performs best when applied to surfaces free of large temperature fluctuations during the curing process.
Clean all dirt, wax, grease and oil from the surface before application. Use SLABHARD Orange Clean for oily spots, rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer and allow 24 hours to dry. Apply the sealer evenly using a flat rubber squeegee or a high-quality non-shed nap roller when surface temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. Cross-roll the first coat to ensure an even application and wait until the surface is tack-free before applying a second coat. Avoid application on excessively hot surfaces to prevent bubble formation.
Coverage ranges from 100 to 300 square feet per gallon depending on the texture and porosity of the substrate.
The surface accepts foot traffic in four hours and vehicle traffic in 48 hours under standard conditions.
You must remove foreign coatings before application unless the existing coating is the exact same or a similar solvent-based sealer.
Yes, SLABSEAL 23 contains less than 100 g/L VOC and complies with strict California regulations.
