Architectural Coatings Perma-Crete Color Seal WB Interior/Exterior Concrete Stain
GENERAL SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean, sound, and free from all contamination including loose and peeling paint, dirt, grease, oil, wax, concrete
curing agents and bond breakers, chalk, efflorescence, mildew, rust, product fines, and dust. Remove loose paint, chalk, and efflorescence by
wire brushing, scraping, sanding, and/or pressure washing. Caulk all cracks and open seams. Sand all glossy, rough, and patched surfaces.
Feather back all rough edges to sound surface by sanding.
Remove mildew by washing with a mixture of 1 part liquid chlorine bleach to 3 parts water. Before use, be sure to read and follow instructions and
warnings on label. Rinse thoroughly.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust or fumes. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST OR
FUMES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO
AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a properly fitted NIOSH-approved respirator and prevent skin contact to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with
a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the USEPA
National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead. In Canada contact a regional Health Canada office. Follow
these instructions to control exposure other hazardous substances that may be released during surface preparation.
BRICK: New brick and mortar should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to sealing. The pH of the substrate must be less than
10 before sealing with two coats. Painting glazed brick is not recommended due to potential adhesion problems.
CONCRETE and MASONRY: New concrete should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to sealing. The pH of the substrate must
be less than 10 before sealing with two coats.
CONCRETE/MASONRY BLOCK: Mortar should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to sealing. Surfaces previously coated with
water thinned cement-based paint must be prepared with extra care. If the material appears to be adhering tightly, a masonry sealer may be
applied to seal the surface. Check adhesion by applying a piece of masking tape. If the sealer peels off and has loose particles, remove all chalking
or crumbling material, re-seal and re-check adhesion.
STUCCO: New stucco should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to sealing. The pH of the substrate must be less than 10
before sealing with two coats. Surface chalk from the curing or aging process should be removed then sealed with an appropriate sealer to rebind
and restore the surface to a sound condition.

Product is self-priming. Refer to surface preparation recommenda-
tions.
LIMITATIONS OF USE
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are 35°F (2°C) or above and surface is at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. Air and surface
temperatures must remain 35°F (2°C) or above for the next 24 hours. For optimum application properties, bring material to at least 50ºF (10ºC)
prior to application. Surface pH limitation is 7-10. Avoid exterior application late in the day when dew and condensation are likely to form or if rain
or snow is expected.
Do not apply to horizontal concrete floors that do not have a vapor barrier underneath, or to other surfaces where moisture gets behind the sealer.
Not recommended for use on surfaces demonstrating hydrostatic or high vapor pressure or for immersion service. Not intended for wood. Avoid
exposure to solvents; strong acids and bases; wipe up oil and gasoline spills immediately.
PROTECT FROM FREEZING. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
While this product provides a mildew resistant coating, growth may still occur if the substrate is not properly prepared prior to painting and/or if
the substrate is consistently exposed to conditions conducive to mold, mildew, and algae.
