UGL DRYLOK® Concrete Protector Low Sheen Penetrating Sealer, Clear, Gallon
DRYLOK® Protector provides clear weatherproof protection against deterioration caused by de-icing salt, gasoline, oil, weathering and efflorescence (white, powdery, salt-like deposits visible on masonry). DRYLOK’s unique SALTLOK® Technology penetrates into the surface providing superior resistance to unsightly efflorescence staining often visible on brick, block and poured concrete surfaces. DRYLOK® Protector seals bare masonry surfaces against dusting, staining, surface cracking and pock marking.
Ideal for interior, exterior, horizontal or vertical masonry surfaces, including concrete driveways, garage floors, basement floors, concrete sidewalks, block retaining walls, brick siding/walkways, terrazzo, and slate surfaces. Worn surfaces with similar clear coatings, which allow water penetration, may be recoated with DRYLOK® Protector. For best results test for proper adhesion on a small area prior to coating entire surface.

Surface Prepartion: Remove all dirt, wax, dust, mildew, and loose or scaling material with a scraper, wire brush, or stiff bristle brush. Masonry surface must be dry and free of dirt, wax, dust, mildew, and loose or scaling material. For proper penetration and adhesion to extremely smooth bare concrete floors, use DRYLOK® ETCH or muriatic acid. Rinse thoroughly (pressure wash for best results). Allow to dry thoroughly according to manufacturer’s directions. If using a pressure washer, do not use on a pressure setting above 1750 PSI to avoid damaging the concrete. Remember, concrete acts like a stone sponge. Pressure washing and general cleaning may trap residual moisture in the concrete. To check for trapped moisture, tape a 12”x12” piece of 3 mil plastic or aluminum foil tightly on all four edges to the surface. Remove it after 24 hours. If the floor side of the plastic or foil is damp, allow additional drying and repeat the test.
Application: Stir thoroughly before application. DRYLOK® Protector appears milky in the can but dries clear. Apply only when air and surface temperature is above 50ºF and the relative humidity is below 60%. Apply by brush, roller or squeegee. Spread evenly, do not allow puddles or heavy surface film to occur. Apply one coat. If after one coat, water droplets are readily absorbed into the surface (extremely porous surfaces), a second coat may be required. Allow 1 hour between coats. DRYLOK® Protector should not be used to build up surface film. As additional coats are applied, sheen build-up will occur and surface will become slippery when wet. On light-colored surfaces, some slight darkening may take place.
