Coloured Concrete Sealer is a solvent based, acrylic sealer designed to be used on driveways, pathways, stencil & stamped concrete, warehouse floors, exposed aggregate concrete etc. It dramatically improves clean-ability and maintenance while protecting the substrate from damaging UV sunlight, traffic, dirt ingress etc.
Available in a variety of colours and very easy to apply with either a roller or solvent resistant broom. To re-apply, it’s as simple as a high pressure clean, allow the surface to dry and roll another fresh coat over the top. Coloured Concrete Sealer will also accept the Right Choice Non Slip Additive, making it ideal for use in wet areas, driveways and outdoor areas where slip resistance is required. Clean-up or thinning (if required) is with the Right Choice Solvent.
* 20ltrs will do 2 coats over approximately 60m² – 70m² (concrete porosity dependent)
Please ensure to check the colour of the sealer prior to installation. Once the product has been applied, Right Choice can take no responsibility for any discrepancies in colour variations.

Coverage Rates
Approximate Coverage Rates:
- 4m² – 6m² per ltr on the 1st coat
- 6m² – 8m² per ltr on the 2nd coat
Coverage rates will be determined by how porous the concrete is (how easily water soaks in). The easier and quicker that water soaks in, the more porous the concrete is and the more product you will use. The preparation guide has information on how to perform this simple test.
How To Calculate m²
- Length of Substrate x Width of Substrate = Total m²
- ie; 5mtr x 8mtr = 40m²

Surface Porosity
- Ensure the concrete has sufficient porosity for the sealer to penetrate.
- Dip a finger into a glass of water and apply 2-3 drops to the surface.
- Time the amount of time it takes for the water to soak into the concrete.
- For sufficient porosity to apply a sealer, this should be no longer than 90 seconds.
- Repeat the test over multiple sections of the concrete substrate.
- If under 90 seconds then the concrete has sufficient porosity for application of the sealer.
- If longer than 90 seconds, then it may be necessary to either acid wash or diamond grind the concrete to open it up and create the required porosity.
Moisture
- The substrate must be dry and free from any rising moisture.
- Ideally use a concrete moisture meter to determine the moisture content. If this is not available, proceed using the method below.
- To test for moisture, cut a piece of thick black plastic into 1m².
- Ensure that it is free from any tears or pinholes (this would render the test useless).
- Attach the plastic to a section of the substrate (repeat in other areas) & duct tape the edges.
- It is important that the plastic is completely sealed around all edges and free from holes.
- After 24 hours, remove the plastic. If the concrete has darkened or there is condensation under the plastic, then the concrete is not sufficiently dry to apply a sealer or coating.
- If the substrate is not dry enough then either wait a few more days & repeat the test or it may be necessary to use a concrete moisture barrier. Contact Right Choice for advice.
Contamination
- All substrates must be clean and free of contamination i.e. oil, grease, bird droppings etc.
- Many of these contaminates are easily removed using the Right Choice Concrete Cleaner.
- In some cases it may be necessary to use a concrete grinder or a light acid wash.
- Basically, if water does not penetrate through the contamination then neither will a sealer or a coating.
Acid Etching
- If required, the concrete can be lightly acid etched prior to sealing. This will help to remove any contamination and create a more porous surface.
- Use extreme caution and safe handling methods when using hydrochloric acid.
- Dilute the hydrochloric acid with water at a rate of 10% (1 part acid to 10 parts water).
- Apply the diluted solution evenly to the surface using a watering can.
- Allow the acid to bubble on the concrete for up to 15 mins.
- Once the bubbling has ceased, thoroughly hose the surface off (abide by local laws for disposal).
- Neutralise the surface using the Right Choice Concrete Cleaner (highly alkaline). Allow the surface to dry for a minimum of 24 hours.

General Notes
- Ensure to read the TECHNICAL DATA SHEET, the PREPARATION GUIDE and the APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS thoroughly first.
- Generally only two coats are required, however on highly porous surfaces then a third coat may be necessary.
- It is recommended to do a test patch first to determine the suitability of the product.
- Ensure that the concrete is a minimum of 28 days old.
- Do not apply when the ambient temperature is below 15c or above 28c.
- It is always advisable to apply sealers in the afternoon and in the shade.
- Do not apply in direct sunlight when the temperatures exceed 28c.
- The substrate must be cool to touch before applying any sealer or coating.
- Do not apply if rain is imminent in the following 24 hours of application.
- Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for coverage.
Application
- Always wear the appropriate personal protection equipment.
- Coloured Concrete Sealer should be applied using a 10mm nap roller, sprayer or solvent resistant broom.
- Pour the sealer directly onto the concrete in ribbons, try to avoid pouring in large puddles.
- Apply the sealer using the “cross hatch” method. Roll East to West and then roll again North to South (right angles to each other). Use this method for all subsequent coats.
- Ensure to keep “wet edge” of the sealer to avoid any overlapping or roller marks.
- Keep to the recommended application rate, do not over apply. Two thin coats are better than a single heavy coat.
- Allow a minimum of 6-12 hours drying time in-between coats (weather dependent).
- Ensure the first coat is clean and free of any contamination before applying the second coat.
- Do not walk on for a minimum of 24 hours and allow 3 days before driving over.

Gailiene (verified owner) –
Great product, very easy to use. I used it for a patio and a back entrance so used the non slip additive which worked really well. Great company to deal with, I will definitely be back for more.
Paul White –
I rolled 2 coats in the front of my cafe eating area. Changed the look completely. Great product and easy to use.
