  • Resistant to high alkalinity and ultraviolet rays.
  • Ready-to-use. No mixing required.
  • Long life, warranted for ten years when properly mixed and applied.
  • 1 year shelf-life.
Placement
  Suitable for horizontal or vertical above grade exterior surfaces.
Substrates
  MerSeal II is effective on new and existing portland cement including stucco, concrete/stone, and masonry surfaces.
Uses
  Recommended uses include treating new architectural poured in place and precast concrete, concrete block, new stucco, old structurally sound stucco, fired clay brick and mortars.
Components and Storage
  MerSeal II is ready to use. Packaged in 1 gallon bottles (3.785 ltr), 5 gallon (18.925 ltr) pails. Protect from direct sunlight. Storage temperature should be 50° to 90° F (10° to 32° C). Protect from freezing. Shelf life is one year in unopened properly stored container.
Coverage
  Coverage will vary depending on the texture and porosity of the substrate. Apply only one coat. Approximate coverage rates are as follows:
Colored Stucco: 100-150 sq. ft./gal. (2.4 - 3.6 m2/ltr)
Concrete: 120-175 sq. ft./gal. (2.9 - 4.2 m2/ltr)
Precast Concrete: 120-175 sq. ft./gal. (2.9 - 4.2 m2/ltr)
Brick: 100-125 sq. ft./gal. (2.4 - 3.0 m2/ltr)
Natural stone & Tile: 120-150 sq. ft/gal. (2.9- 3.6 m2/ltr)
Concrete Block:
    1st coat, 60-80 sq. ft./gal. (1.4-1.9 m2/ltr);
    2nd coat, 100-150 sq. ft/gal (2.4-3.6 m2/ltr)
Surface Preparation
  All receiving surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, free of dust, dirt, silicones, paint products, efflorescence or any other contaminant which could prevent proper penetration. Allow new cement and masonry surfaces to fully cure (approximately 28 days) prior to application. A sample area should be tested to be sure no color variation will occur.
Application
  For best results, use suitable spray equipment, maintaining consistent spray pressure. Starting at the bottom, apply a fog coat followed immediately by a saturation coat. Do not skimp. Porous surfaces may require two coats. Protect all glass and metal surfaces from direct contact or overspray.
Clean Up
  Clean all tools and equipment with detergent and water immediately after use. Clean up drips, runs, and overspray on non-treated surfaces while MerSeal II is still wet, using detergent and water if necessary.
Storage
  Do not store in direct sunlight. Storage temperature should be 50° - 90° F (10° - 32° F). Protect from freezing. Shelf life is one year with proper storage. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
Limitations
  Use only in well ventilated areas and protect hands, skin and eyes. Do not use on asphalt. Do not apply when ambient temperature is below 40° F (4° C) or above 110° F (43° C). Do not apply to frozen or frost filled surfaces. Do not apply if rain is forecast within 24 hours. Do not apply to glazed brick or glazed tile. Do not apply to wet surfaces.
