"WET-LOOK" EXPOSED
AGGREGATE SOLVENT-BASED SEALER
DESCRIPTION
EXPO-GLOSS exposed aggregate sealer is a
transparent, high solids, film-forming, curing,
sealing and dustproofing compound that improves
resistance to staining and wear. EXPO-GLOSS is
specifically formulated to enhance the beauty of
natural stone in exposed aggregate surfaces, while
providing maximum surface protection. When
properly applied, EXPO-GLOSS produces a
glossy “wet-look” finish.
EXPO-GLOSS meets maximum VOC content limits of 700 g/L for concrete curing and sealing compounds as required by the U.S. EPA Architectural Coatings Rule.
USES
EXPO-GLOSS is ideal for freshly finished
exposed aggregate surfaces. It is also equally
applicable for use on old exposed aggregate surfaces.

COVERAGE
300 - 600 ft.²/gal.
(7.37 - 14.73 m²/L), depending on surface finish.
APPLICATION
Surface Preparation...… EXPO-GLOSS may be
applied over freshly finished exposed aggregate
as soon as the surface moisture has disappeared.
On existing exposed aggregate, clean the surface
thoroughly and rinse well. EXPO-GLOSS may be applied to damp surfaces.
Mixing...For optimum performance, gentle
mixing or agitation is recommended.
CAUTION: TO AVOID FOAMING, DO NOT MIX EXCESSIVELY.
Application Method...Apply using a good
quality natural bristle brush or a short nap roller.
Spread in a thin, even coat, being careful to avoid
puddling.
Drying...Drying times may be extended depending on application rate, temperature, humidity and project conditions. Protect the freshly coated surface from traffic, dust, condensation and rain while drying. The surface will be slippery while drying and may become slippery under certain conditions.
Cleanup...Clean tools with an aromatic solvent immediately after finishing application.
PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT DILUTE. FOR EXTERIOR
APPLICATION ONLY. Do not use on concrete
or on surfaces other than exposed aggregate. Do
not apply to painted or frozen surfaces. Apply a
test patch in an inconspicuous area before
applying to the intended surface.
EXPO-GLOSS should not be applied on hot surfaces 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).
EXPO-GLOSS should not be applied to exposed aggregate subject to excessive moisture. Entrapped moisture in a solvent-based sealer may cause the film to peel and/or turn white (blush).
Do not apply EXPO-GLOSS over stained wood joint dividers. This may cause stain to spread while the sealer is wet. Continuous or long-term exposure to ultraviolet light may cause the film to discolor. If discoloration must be avoided, we recommend using our non-yellowing DECRA-SEAL™ product. Avoid brush or roller contact with wood partitions. The surface may become slippery under certain conditions.
HEALTH HAZARDS
Avoid direct contact with this product as it may
cause irritation of the eyes and/or skin. Inhalation
of vapors may result in transient central nervous
system depression. EXPO-GLOSS is
combustible (flash point: 114° F). EXPO-GLOSS
should not be utilized in locations where food items are present. Refer to product Material
