Finseal Glow HD is a high solids solvent based high-gloss protective coating for a wide range of decorative concrete paving and masonry surfaces requiring heavy duty protection. Finseal Glow HD is recommended for application to stencil, coloured, stamped concrete, exposed aggregate and is suitable for pedestrian and vehicle traffic such as driveways. This very hard-wearing product has a good resistance to petrol, oil, hydraulic fluids, mould, algae and protects substrates from the ingress of dirt, grime and organic matter. It enhances the appearance and resists deterioration of the treated surface.

Curing is dependent on the temperature. The sealer is usually touchdry in approximately 30 minutes at 25˚C.
Protect the sealed surface from rain, water and sprinkler systems for a minimum of 6 hours. Accessible to foot traffic after 24 hours and vehicle traffic after a minimum of 5 days.
Coverage is approximately 4–5m² per litre per coat. Theoretical coverage for a 2 coats application is approx. 40–50m² per 20 litre drum.
Areas to be treated must be clean, dry, free from oil, grease and surface curing compounds.
Freshly laid concrete should be left to cure for a minimum of 14 days prior to application, unless treated with Finseal Glow 24, a same day sealer after finishing.
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, paint or curing compounds with Finseal Paveclean / TyreClean or suitable general-purpose cleaner or stripper. Thoroughly wash and pressure clean surface.
A light acid etch prior to application is recommended to ensure unreacted laitance is removed prior to applying to new stamped or exposed aggregate concrete.
Pressure clean surface at minimum 2000psi to prepare for sealing. Allow surface to dry prior to application of the sealer.
Ensure surface is thoroughly prepared and dirt, grease, staining, oils and contaminants are removed with Fincare Paveclean / TyreClean followed by thorough scrubbing or pressure washing at minimum of 2000psi.
A light acid etch prior to application is recommended to ensure unreacted laitance and loose cementitious material is removed prior to sealing and increase penetration of the prime coat.
On ‘tight’ trowel finished concrete surfaces a heavier acid etch preparation may be required to increase penetration and adhesion of the material.
Pressure clean surface with a minimum 2000psi to prepare for sealing. Allow surface to dry prior to application of the sealer.
Ensure surface is thoroughly prepared and dirt, grease, staining, oils and contaminants are removed with Fincare Paveclean / TyreClean followed by thorough scrubbing or pressure washing at minimum of 2000psi.
Assess any existing sealer is sound, free of delamination and surface whitening. Undertake a cross hatch pull off test to a small area to assess adhesion of existing coating for further sealing.
If the existing sealer is unsuitable it is recommended that this be completely stripped off prior to new sealer being applied.
If sound, the existing sealer should be reactivated via application of Finseal Glow 100 solvent and agitated with a solvent resistant broom. Allow to dry before commencing sealing.
