DescriptionEASY Seal BCS is a water-based, high grade surface sealer & sand binder for block paving & concrete. It provides a wear-resistant coating for concrete and brick surfaces and has been specially formulated for block paving, penetrating the surface and stabilising the jointing sand. Once dried, the sand and blocks are bonded together. Using the latest technology it provides durable surface protection. On previously untreated surfaces it penetrates as well as giving a surface coating which will result in the paving having a changed appearance. This could manifest itself by giving a matt or satin sheen to the paving. EASYSeal BCS can be used on a variety of concrete paving materials that may be used to create well-drained driveways, paths, walkways and patios. 5 litres (coverage up to 40m2)High grade surface sealer & sand binderCan be used on damp surfacesParticularly suitable for interlocking concrete & clay blocksBonds the sand & blocks togetherEliminates weed growth in the jointsReduces ant/insect nuisancesStops loss of sand by wind & rainProvides a wear resistant coatingImpedes algae & lichen growthSurface coating withstands sensible pressure washing & detergentsSand stays in the jointsExcellent oil & water repellentStain resistant propertiesResists general dirt & grimeSuitable for internal & external useHow to useDo not apply to natural stone. Do not apply to painted surfaces or those that have been previously treated with silicone sealants or other water repellent materialsAlways test a small inconspicuous area before use to ensure surface compatibility, performance and finish is acceptableEASYSeal BCS is best applied on a dry surface but can be used on damp (not wet) surfaces. Do not apply if there is standing waterAvoid applying within 24 hours of predicted rainfallShake well before useTreat any efflorescence prior to application and allow a suitable length of time to elapse to ensure efflorescence does not reoccurClean any jointing sand from the surface and the bevelled edge of interlocking blocksThe surface must be clean and free from contamination or previously applied finishes. Remove any marks, stains or dirt from the surface because such will be permanently sealed in after application. Surfaces should be free from any mould or fungal growth, waxes or coatingsProtect from rain between coats and for at least 24 hours after the final coatAllow at least 8 hours before foot traffic and 3 days for vehicular trafficOn previously untreated surfaces EASYSeal BCS penetrates as well as giving a surface coating which will result in a changed appearance. The extent of the change depends on the porosity of the material on which it is applied – anything from an absolutely matt finish to a gentle sheen or satin lookKeep pets away until surface is fully dryIdeal ambient and surface operating temperature is between 10? and 20?. As a guide, ensure the surface of the stone is cool to touch. Do not apply in direct sunlight. In hot weather conditions, apply early in the morning before surface temperatures start to rise. Do not apply when the surface temperature is below 5?Apply with a brush, roller or low pressure sprayer at a rate of 3m2 per litre for the first coatWork diagonally across the joints, in straight lines and in one direction. Do not allow the material to poolWhen working with interlocking blocks take care not to pick up any sand from the joints. Whilst not allowing the material to pool, ensure sufficient is applied to soak into the sandApply two coats. If using a brush or roller, apply the second coat by brushing/rolling at right angles to the previous coat at a rate of 4 – 6m2 per litre. Apply the second coat between 3 and 24 hours after the first coat is touch dry
