DIAMOND CLEAR
NON-YELLOWING CURING
AND SEALING COMPOUND
DIAMOND CLEAR is one of a family of state-ofart curing and sealing compounds specially designed to provide a quality cure and seal while
assuring total resistance to yellowing from ultraviolet exposure. DIAMOND CLEAR is particularly
suitable for exterior architectural concrete where
membrane yellowing is undesirable.
PRIMARY APPLICATIONS
l Driveways
l Exterior pavements
l Walls and columns
l Terrazzo floors
l parking garages
l Exposed aggregate surfaces
l Dry shake hardened floors
l Passenger and freight terminals
l Exterior or interior concrete surfaces
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
l Provides a totally clear membrane for new
or old concrete.
l Seals all concrete surfaces, providing glossy
appearance and easier cleaning.
l Hardens new concrete by promoting a
proper cure for improved abrasion resistance.
l Dustproofs concrete by impregnating surface pores with a tough durable film.
l Helps minimize spalling of exterior concrete.
l Compatible with many paints, adhesives
and resilient floor coverings.
l Will not yellow under ultra violet exposure.
SPECIFICATION / COMPLIANCES
l ASTM C-309, Type 1, Class B
l AASHTO specification M-148, Type 1
l U.S.D.A. approved for use in facilities where
this sealers may come into incidental contact with food products.

PACKAGING
DIAMOND CLEAR is packaged in 210 ltr drum
and 20 ltr pail.
DIRECTION FOR USE
Surface Preparation - The concrete surface must
be clean and free of standing water. Remove any
sealer or other material that may prevent absorption of the DIAMOND CLEAR.
Mixing - DIAMOND CLEAR requires no
preblending and should be used directly from the
container.
Application - apply at a uniform coverage by spray
or roller application. Product may be sprayed with
a hand held pump-up sprayer or with an airless
industrial sprayer. If roller applied, use a short
napped solvent resistant sleeve.
Curing - for the best cure of freshly placed concrete, apply DIAMOND CLEAR as soon as possible after finishing operations and/or immediately
after the disappearance of the sheen of surface
moisture.
Sealing - When sealing old concrete, the surface
must be clean and dry. Remove contaminants
and stains such as waxes, grease and oil using
strong soap or caustics rather than acids. Badly
worn or porous areas may need a second application to attain a uniform seal and surface gloss.
SUPER DIAMOND CLEAR may be placed on top
of a previous coat of the same product.
The surface must be clean and dry for proper adhesion.
Anti-spall Treatment - To minimize winter salt
damage to exterior concrete, two coats should be
used. Concrete varies in quality due to workman-

ship, air entrainment, and the water/cement ratio used. These factors plus weather conditions
and the amount of deicers used on concrete may
contribute to surface scaling and spalling even
through the concrete has been treated.
CLEAN-UP
Tools and equipments may be cleaned using
EUCO SOLVENT, xylene, xylol, or toluene. Run
cleaning solvent through spray equipment to remove residual materials and prevent clogging of
nozzle in future use.
SEALER REMOVAL
Dried, cured sealer may be removed with strong
solvents such as xylene, MEK or toluene. Also
acceptable are commercial paint strippers. (Always heed directions and warning labels.) Alternatively, the sealer can be removed by sandblasting or other similar mechanical action.
PRECAUTIONS / LIMITATIONS
l Material will not freeze in storage but should
be allowed to rise to 10oC before application.
l Do not apply when concrete surfaces or ambient temperature is below 10oC
l Do not apply over bleed water or free standing water.
l Do not apply over concrete to receive toppings. KUREZ DR is recommended for
these applications.
l Although compatible with many carpet tile
and floor covering adhesives, a test section is recommended.
l Do not use as a bond breaker for tilt-up construction.
