shrinkage cracking.
Seals and protects to extend the life of concrete and
masonry surfaces.
A penetrating sealer that can be built to a high-gloss finish
with multiple coats that dustproofs concrete.
Resists damage from water, UV rays, pool chemicals, most

SURFACE PREPARATION
New Concrete: When applying H&C
CLEARPROTECT Solvent-Based Cure and Seal to freshly
placed concrete, no surface prep is necessary. Allow all
bleed or standing water to evaporate from the surface,
apply CLEARPROTECT Cure and Seal according to
application instructions.
Bare Concrete: All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of
grease, oil, paint and sealers. To remove light soil from the
surface, use H&C® CONCRETEREADY® Cleaner Degreaser
mixed to a 50/50 ratio with water. To remove heavy oil and
grease stains, use the cleaner full strength. If mold, mildew or
fungus is present, kill and remove with a solution of 1 part
household bleach to 3 parts water. Allow all surfaces to dry at
least 24 hours before sealing.
Existing Concrete: Concrete surfaces should be able to absorb
water. To test absorption, spray various sections of the surface
to be stained with water. If the water does not absorb rapidly,
then additional surface preparation is necessary. If existing
concrete is bare, acid etch the surface using H&C
CONCRETEREADY Etching Solution following label instructions.
After proper etching, the surface should feel like 120-grit
sandpaper. If not, then etch again. Mechanical abrasion
methods may be necessary to achieve proper profile. Do not
apply the sealer until all surfaces are porous. Allow all existing
properly prepared surfaces to dry at least 24 hours before
sealing. Prepared concrete must have a pH of 6 to 10.
*WARNING: Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may
generate dust or fumes that contain lead. To avoid exposure to lead dust,
wear proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH
approved) and follow proper containment and cleanup procedures. For more
information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in
U.S.) or contact your local health authority.
