TIAH® OTC
Non-Yellowing, Acrylic Curing and Sealing Compound
DESCRIPTION
TIAH OTC acrylic concrete curing and sealing
compound is an acrylic polymer solution that
dries to a transparent film, which improves
abrasion resistance of the concrete. TIAH OTC
provides a tough, clear film that will not after-yellow.
It also provides improved weather and
stain resistance, combined with a dustproof
sealer. TIAH OTC is specially formulated to
provide a low VOC content.
USES
TIAH OTC can be used on driveways, patios,
industrial floors, loading docks, swimming pool
areas, and exposed aggregate, as well as any
exterior surface where protection and sealing of
concrete is desired (dries to a low medium sheen).
TIAH OTC offers improved resistance to rain,
sun, freezing temperatures, stains, most acids and
industrial chemicals, oil, grease, de-icing salts,
cleaning agents (except aromatic solvents), and
caustics, as well as airborne soot, dust, and other
pollutants.

| FEATURES/BENEFITS |
- Applies easily ... dries to the touch in 30 - 60
minutes.
- Permeable film allows moisture in cured
concrete to evaporate.
- Provides a clear, tough, easy-to-clean film,
which improves abrasion and stain resistance.

freezing temperatures, most acids and
industrial chemicals, oil, grease, de-icing salts,
cleaning agents (except aromatic solvents),
caustics, airborne soot, dust, and other
pollutants.
- Offers excellent foot or vehicular traffic
wearing qualities.
- Recoat after thorough surface cleaning to
restore original beauty.
- Concrete sealed with TIAH OTC can later be
painted (consult reputable paint manufacturer
for compatibility) or covered with resilient
flooring or carpeting, if desired.
- Dried film is USDA accepted.
- VOC compliant … meets U.S. EPA
Architectural Coatings Rule requirements.

COVERAGE
300 - 600 ft.²/gal. (7.37 - 14.73 m²/L), depending
on surface finish. Coverage may vary due to
porosity and condition of the concrete.
APPLICATION
Surface Preparation...Existing Concrete:
Concrete surfaces must be clean and dry with all
stains, oil, grease, dust, and dirt removed prior to
application. ULTRITE® DEGREASER from W.
R. MEADOWS should be used for cleaning.
New Concrete: TIAH OTC should be applied
when surface water has completely disappeared
and the concrete surface will not be marred by
walking workmen.
Application Method … Use a sprayer or shortnap
roller to apply a uniform film. Avoid
puddling in low areas. If puddles occur, brush or
roll them out. A standard industrial-grade
sprayer, equipped with a neoprene hose and
gaskets, as well as a 5941 spray nozzle (or
equivalent) is recommended for best results.
For optimum performance, apply first coat at 600
ft.²/gal. After the first coat has thoroughly dried,
apply a second coat at 600 ft.²/gal. NOTE:
Second coat should be applied at a right angle.
Drying Time ... TIAH OTC dries quickly. Drying
times may be extended depending on application
rate, temperature, humidity, and project
conditions. Restrict foot traffic for at least four
hours. Twelve hours is preferable.
Cleanup ... Application equipment should be
cleaned promptly after use with xylene or toluene.
PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT DILUTE. FOR EXTERIOR
APPLICATION ONLY. Surfaces treated with
TIAH OTC may become slippery under certain
conditions.
TIAH OTC should not be applied during high
temperature conditions in direct sunlight. These
conditions cause rapid evaporation, which does
not allow the film to form properly. Under these
conditions, the film may peel, bubble, and/or turn
white (blush). TIAH OTC should not be applied
to concrete exposed to excessive moisture.
Entrapped moisture in a solvent-based sealer may
cause the film to peel and/or turn white (blush).
Do not apply TIAH OTC if the temperature of the
concrete is below 40º F (4º C). TIAH may be
used on colored concrete, but mottling may occur.
Do not use on dense or non-porous surfaces, i.e.
brick, stone, etc. Do not use TIAH OTC as a
waterproofing sealer on masonry surfaces.
TIAH OTC is a membrane-forming sealer. All
membrane-forming sealers may darken the
concrete or magnify imperfections caused by
variations in the porosity of the concrete.
Concrete containing calcium chloride will remain
dark longer when treated with TIAH OTC. A
small test patch application is recommended.
Concrete floors properly cured with TIAH OTC
meet section 8.9 "Adhesion of Tile Cements" of
ASTM C 1315. For other specifications, secure
the approval of the paint or resilient flooring
manufacturer before applying TIAH OTC. The
specifier and user shall determine the suitability
of product for specific applications and assume all
responsibility in connection therewith.
TIAH OTC is flammable. Remove ignition
sources prior to use. Refer to Material Safety Data
Sheet for complete health and safety information.
