SEALERS
Titan Shield Gloss
Engineered for professionals,
installed by anyone
The Titan Shield Gloss is an industrial-grade, water-based sealer for cementitious surfaces such as concrete, micro toppings, pavers, block, and/or polished concrete. This polyurethane-hybrid formula provides superior protection; outperforming acrylic, urethane, and polyurea sealers.
Want the specifics? It does this by drying as a high-density film that forms a topical membrane, preventing damage from all forms of foot, chemical and vehicle traffic as well as UV. The Titan Shield Gloss is easily applied with brush, roller or sprayer. Its fast-drying system and 3 coat application can be completed in a single day.
Features & Benefits
The Titan Shield Gloss is suitable for residential and commercial interior and exterior applications, including commercial and industrial vehicle traffic. Available in color finishes or with a non-skid additive, too.

HOW : Sweep debris off surface
PURPOSE : Ensures there is no debris in the sealer
HOW : Use The Titan Shield Gloss (for interior and exterior surfaces)
PURPOSE : Creates natural gloss finish for commercial floors and walls, kitchens, medical and industrial spaces
-
HOW : Use airless sprayer with tip size 17 at 600 PSI. Position the airless sprayer gun at 18” away from the floor
PURPOSE : Smaller tip size and high pressure can cause a lot overspray. Allows product to lay down evenly on the surface
HOW : OPTIONAL: use magic trowel to spread the product or roll product on with a 1/2″ nap roller. Do not go back and forth
PURPOSE : Allows product to lay down evenly on the surface
HOW : Minimum of 3 coats is required to ensure 6 - 8 mils film thickness in total
PURPOSE : Ensures long lasting surface protection from industrial and commercial vehicle and foot traffic

DRYING TIMES
Drying times are affected by temperature and relative humidity. The chart represents guideline values but each project is to be treated individually. Below is the general time needed in between coats at a specified temperature.
CURING TIMES
Curing time is affected by temperature and relative humidity. The chart represents guideline values but each project is to be treated individually. For example, at only 48°F a full cure would take 48 hours. In comparison, at 95°F it would only take 18 hours to cure.

SURFACE MOISTURE CONTENT
For most standard water-based concrete sealers, the concrete must be dry with a moisture content of
less than 5%. Applying water-based sealers to overly wet concrete can result in a white, chalky appearance or poor adhesion.
Acceptable Moisture Standards
To ensure a successful application, adhere to these industry-standard measurements:
• Moisture Content: Aim for 3.5% to 4.5%. Levels above 4.5% typically require specialized epoxy primers or additional drying time.
• Internal Relative Humidity (RH): According to ASTM F2170, the internal RH of the slab should generally be 75% to 80% or lower.
• Moisture Vapor Emission Rate (MVER): Per ASTM F1869, the emission rate should not exceed 3 to 5 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. over 24 hours.
Exceptions for Specific Products
• Cure and Seal Products: Some water-based "cure and seal" compounds are designed for application to "green" or damp concrete immediately after the bleed water has disappeared.
• Penetrating Sealers: Certain breathable penetrating sealers (like siliconates) may be more forgiving of slight dampness, but the surface should still be free of puddles or standing water.
Simple Readiness Tests
If you do not have a professional moisture meter, you can use these methods:
• Plastic Sheet Test (ASTM D4263): Tape an 18”x18” square of clear plastic to the floor, sealing all edges with duct tape. Wait 24 hours. If condensation appears under the plastic or the concrete has darkened, the slab is too wet.
• Water Drop Test: Drop a small amount of water onto the surface. It should soak in relatively quickly. If it beads, there may be a previous sealer or contaminant present that must be removed.
Important Considerations
• Drying Time: For a fresh pour, the standard recommendation is to wait at least 28 days for proper curing and moisture stabilization before sealing.
• Weather Conditions: Avoid sealing if rain is expected within 24 hours of application.
• Humidity: For interior projects, ensure the ambient relative humidity is below 70%during application to prevent the sealer from turning white or "blushing".
