High-Performance Sealer Offers Double the Wear Resistance

Water- and solvent-based acrylic sealers are often the most popular sealer types for concrete because of their ease of application and economy. (See Acrylic Sealers for Concrete.) The drawback is that they often wear faster and require reapplication sooner than thicker polyurethane sealers and epoxy coatings, especially under heavy traffic exposure. Now there’s a new high-performance alternative to conventional solvent-based acrylic sealers that’s said to reduce the need and frequency of reseals and repairs. Polyurethane 250, a two-component acrylic urethane from Arizona Polymer Flooring, is formulated to have double the wear resistance of conventional acrylics in high-foot-traffic areas, such as malls, casinos and resorts. It also withstands vehicle traffic and offers superior stain and chemical resistance.

How to applyPoly 250 contains special solvents and adhesion promoters that improve penetration and adhesion to minimally profiled concrete. Application methods include brush, roller or airless sprayer. The window of time for recoating is indefinite. In addition, Poly 250 can be recoated with other solvent-based or water-based polyurethanes.

Where to useAPF developed Poly 250 for projects with demanding requirements like those in the restaurant, retail and hospitality industries. The sealer can also be used on conventional concrete as well as overlays, pavers, and all types of decorative and architectural concrete. On acid stained and integrally colored concrete, it will enhance the color similar to solvent-based acrylic sealers, giving surfaces a long-wearing, high-gloss finish. When used as a sealer in vehicle areas, it resists tire tracking and provides easy soil release. A special version of Poly 250 is available to meet the 50 grams/liter VOC limit in California.
