ZONACOTE Wet Look Sealer
seals the pavement surface and brightens and enhances
the natural colors of the paving stone with a luxurious,
wet look. It is breathable and will not trap the
naturally occurring efflorescence, allowing it to be
applied immediately after paving stones are installed
(as well as decreasing freeze-thaw damage). The product
improves surface durability, enhancing the colors of the
pavement and protecting the surface from salt, acid and
staining.
ZONACOTE Wet Look Sealer is a
water-based, exterior quality urethane surface sealer.
Wet Look Sealer has the consistency of water and is
milky white when applied; it dries to a clear, wet look
on the surface of the pavement. ZONACOTE Wet Look Sealer
can be used both inside and outside on old and new
pavements. Cured sealer is freeze resistant to -60°F
(-51°C) and is stable up to a temperature of 180°F (82°C
PaverGeneral® Zonacoteis a water based sealer that imparts a natural finish to paving bricks and stones while at the same time providing superior oil repellency.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATION:
Preparation The pavement surface should be clean
and free from oil, dust and any loose material. If necessary, use
PaverGeneral® ALL PURPOSE CLEANER 2354 General Stain Remover to
clean pavers (refer to label and data sheet for guidelines). Excess
joint sand should be brushed from the surface and the paver joints
should be completely filled with dry, correctly graded jointing
sand, with the top level not exceeding the bottom of the chamfer or
1/8” below the surface of non-beveled or tumbled paver surfaces. A
leaf blower is the recommended method to remove dust and fine
particles from the surface to achieve the optimum joint sand height.
Remove all efflorescence prior to sealer application. PaverGeneral®
SURFACE EFFLORE-SCENCE REMOVER 4248 and Rust Remover if necessary
(refer to label and data sheet for guidelines). The surface should
be dry prior to application. Previously applied sealer should be
stripped. If any product separation should occur, gently agitate
container to re-emulsify mixture.
The surface should be free of standing water and surface dirt. All nearby vegetation and any material that is not to be treated should be protected. For previously sealed surfaces, apply one heavy coat. For unsealed surfaces, apply two coats. The first coat should be a light coating that will dry in a short time, followed by a second heavy coat.
Methods of application include airless sprayer, roller and brush. When a brush or roller is used, repeat application until the surface remains moist for a few minutes. If an airless sprayer is used, apply the material until the substrate is thoroughly saturated. Please refer to the MSDS for proper safety instructions.
ZONACOTE Wet Look Sealer should be
rolled or sprayed on the pavement
surface using a thick (3/8”) paint
roller and a handheld garden
sprayer. Use coverage guidelines to
determine a sufficient amount of
material to provide an even,
darkened coating. Roll or spray the
material so it wets down and
saturates all the pores on the
surface of the paver. This is best
achieved using a handheld garden
sprayer and a thick paint roller to
coat the surface of each paver,
including the chamfers, edges and
recessed areas on textured pavers. A
second application may be necessary
on more porous or older pavements to
achieve a consistent and darkened
effect. Care should be taken that no
excess material is pooled on the
surface or in the sand joints of the
pavement. Material coverage will
depend on the surface porosity and
pavement usage. Airless sprayers can
be used in lieu of hand held pump
sprayers on larger projects. Use the
largest nozzle to ensure ZONACOTE
Wet Look Sealer does not atomize and
dry before it hits the pavement
surface. The spray should be a low
pressure, even mist to wet down the
pavement surface. Clean all
application equipment with water and
do not allow material to dry in
containers as removal becomes more
difficult.
MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY:
Avoid circumstances that produce respirable particles. Do not aerosolize or atomize. Spray only with a garden or deck hand pump sprayer.
