Technical Data

Technical Data Sheet (TDS) CR-515 INSIDE ACRYLIC

Product
CR-515 Is a water-based acrylic sealer for concrete floors that provides deep rich color appearance along with
a beautiful gloss. CR-515 Inside Acrylic has excellent water and efflorescent resistance and superior
durability. It has strong UV resistance and adhesion to a wide variety of substrates and it will not chalk or
yellow.

Coverage
Coverage rate is 200 square feet per gallon. Coverage variations occur based on concrete surface porosity
and amount of material applied.

Surface Preparation
Concrete must be clean and free of dirt, dust, oil, grease, mold and mildew, and any other contaminants.
RAC Stained concrete must be neutralized, thoroughly cleaned, and dry prior to sealing.
WRC Stained concrete must be completely cured prior to sealing.
All new concrete should be allowed to cure for a minimum of 45 days, or until a pH reading of 10.5 or less is
achieved. Concrete must be completely dry prior to sealer application. It is strongly recommended that a
surface probe moisture meter be utilized to verify the surface is dry. After visually determining the concrete is
dry, test a minimum of 10 different areas of the concrete with the moisture meter. Pay special attention to
cracks, control joints, and slab edges.

Application Recommendations
ROLLER
Stir well before use. Pour CR-515 Inside Acrylic through a strainer prior to use. Apply by using a high quality
3/8” nap lint free roller cover, or 1/4” nap mohair roller cover (for smooth surfaces). Dip directly into a roller pan
and distribute the material by rolling laterally and then up and down (crosshatch rolling). Roll the material into
a wet edge, and avoid excessive back rolling. When applying 2 coats of sealer roll the second coat
perpendicular to the first. Keep containers closed when not in use, unattended open material will form a skin
on the surface.
SPRAYER – HVLP or Airless
Stir well before use. Pour CR-515 Inside Acrylic through a strainer prior to use. Spray Inside Acrylic using an
airless or HVLP spray system. Do When applying 2 coats, spray the second coat perpendicular to the first.
Always use a chemical respirator when spraying with an airless or HVLP spray system. Keep containers
closed when not in use, unattended open material will form a skin on the surface.

Thinning - Do not thin CR-515 Inside Acrylic

Drying Time
Dry to touch: 30 minutes
Dry hard: 55 minutes
Recoat: 2 hours
Light Foot Traffic: 4 hours
Full Cure: 72 hours
The listed dry times are for 75 degree (F) temperatures and medium humidity. Low temperatures and/or high
humidity will slow drying and curing time.
Clean Up - Tools can be cleaned with soap and water.

Storage and Shelf Life
Do not allow to freeze. Shelf life of unopened product is approximately one year.

Limitations

Not suitable for flooring that is exposed to harsh chemicals. In high traffic areas a maintenance coat of CR-520
Inside Floor Finish is required.
Air and substrate temperatures must be minimum 50 degrees (F). Do not apply when air or surface
temperature exceeds 90 degrees (F) or LAP marking / poor penetration / bubbling may result.
Do not apply to wet or damp concrete, moisture will inhibit penetration of the sealer and cause improper curing,
flaking or lifting of the sealer.
Do not apply if dew may condense on the surface before the sealer has cured. Allow for extended dry times
during cold weather / high humidity.

Slip and Fall Precautions
OSHA and the American Disabilities Act (ADA) have now set enforceable standards for slip-resistance on
pedestrian surfaces. The current coefficient of friction required by ADA is .6 on level surfaces and .8 on ramps.
Concrete Stain & Supply, LLC recommends the use of angular slip-resistant aggregate in all coatings or
flooring systems that may be exposed to wet, oily or greasy conditions. It is the contractor and end users’
responsibility to provide a flooring system that meets current safety standards. Concrete Stain & Supply, LLC
or its sales agents will not be responsible for injury incurred in a slip and fall accident.
Moisture Vapor Emissions/Alkalinity Precautions
All interior concrete floors not poured over an effective moisture vapor barrier/inhibitor are subject to possible
moisture vapor transmission and related high levels of alkalinity that may lead to blistering and failure of the
coating system. It is the coating applicator’s responsibility to conduct calcium chloride and relative humidity
probe testing to determine if excessive levels of vapor emissions or alkalinity are present before applying any
coatings.
