PENETRATING and ANTI-SPALLING
COMPOUND
DESCRIPTION
LIN-SEAL penetrating and anti-spalling
compound is a specification-grade formulation of
boiled linseed oil in mineral spirits. LIN-SEAL is
specifically compounded to prevent the spalling
and scaling of concrete. This type of penetrating
compound is recommended by many state
Departments of Transportation for prolonging the
life cycle of concrete exposed to water, de-icing
salts and other destructive materials.
USES
LIN-SEAL is ideal for application on Portland
cement concrete bridge decks, parking garage
decks and ramps, or any concrete surface which
allows the concrete to absorb water, salts or other
destructive materials. LIN-SEAL may also be
applied on wood to seal, protect and extend the
life of the protected wood.

APPLICATION
Surface Preparation...Surfaces to be sealed
must be clean and dry. Remove all dirt, oil,
grease, curing compounds and other substances
that would prevent the proper penetration of the
LIN-SEAL.
Application Method...Apply at temperatures between 40-90° F (4-35° C). New concrete should be cured a minimum of 28 days before application. Apply using an industrial sprayer. A Chapin 1949 sprayer with a 5797 spray tip that produces a flow of ½ gallon (1.89 L) per minute under 40 psi (0.276 MPa) of pressure (or equivalent) is recommended. AVOID PUDDLING in low areas. If puddles occur, brush or roll them out. Annual reapplication may be necessary.
NOTE: Proper application is the responsibility of the user and/or specifier. The user and/or specifier shall determine suitability of a product for a specific application, and assume all related responsibility. Field visits by, or conversations with W. R. MEADOWS personnel or their representatives, are for the purpose of making technical recommendations only and are not to supervise applications or provide quality control on the jobsite.
Coverage...Apply at the rate of approximately
300 ft.²/gal. (7.36 m²/L). A second application at
approximately 600 ft.²/gal. (14.73 m²/L) is
recommended for increased protection and spall
prevention.
NOTE: Use of fillers, extenders or additives in the concrete mix may result in higher porosity. To achieve proper protection, adjust coverage rates to compensate for the resulting penetration.
Clean up...Use mineral spirits or other suitable petroleum solvent to clean tools and equipment. Materials soaked with linseed oil (rags, paper towels, absorbents, etc.) may spontaneously catch fire if improperly disposed. (See precaution below.)
SHELF LIFE (Typical)
One (1) year in original, unopened container.
PRECAUTIONS
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE, ALL
MATERIALS COMING IN CONTACT
WITH LIN-SEAL (RAGS, PAPER TOWELS,
ABSORBENTS, ETC.) MUST BE PUT INTO
A WATER-FILLED CONTAINER, AND
THEN THE CONTAINER MUST BE
TIGHTLY SEALED.
LIN-SEAL IS FOR EXTERIOR APPLICATION ONLY. DO NOT DILUTE WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTS OR LIQUIDS.
Do not apply LIN-SEAL if the air temperature or the temperature of the concrete is below 40° F (4° C).
Do not use on colored concrete. Do not use on densely troweled or non-porous surfaces, or where darkening of the concrete is undesirable. Do not use on surfaces that are not uniform in porosity, i.e. brick, stone, masonry, etc. Concrete containing calcium chloride will remain dark longer when treated with LIN-SEAL.
Read and follow application information, precautions and Material Safety Data Sheet information.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Avoid direct contact with this material, as it may
cause irritation of the skin and eyes. Product
vapors may cause transient central nervous system
depression. LIN-SEAL should not be utilized in
locations where food items are present. Refer to
Material Safety Data Sheet for complete health and
safety information.
LIN-SEAL is a combustible product. All ignition sources should be removed prior to use. (Flash point: 113° F).
