Specific Applications

Interior Concrete Walls

InnerSeal DPS eliminates sweating, moisture, saponification and paint failures on concrete walls by neutralizing alkali and creating a permanent internal barrier below the surface of the concrete. This barrier stops both moisture and alkali from ever coming into contact with the paint or coating. InnerSeal DPS also “etches” as it penetrates, creating it’s own bonding agent. Testing has shown that InnerSeal DPS can extend the life of paint over concrete by up to 300%. No concrete should ever be painted without first using InnerSeal DPS.

InnerSeal CBE offers all the benefits of InnerSeal DPS combined with the water-proofing and surface sealing abilities of Hydro-Top. InnerSeal CBE cannot be painted or top-coated.

ColorSeal 3000 can be used to brilliantly color all types of interior or exterior concrete. ColorSeal 3000 is easy to apply, and cures very quickly. Be sure to use InnerSeal DPS first to establish a moisture / vapor barrier if moisture or alkali are present.

Interior Concrete Floors

InnerSeal DPS completely cures, seals, stabilizes, hardens and dust proofs concrete floors and slabs in all types of residential, commercial and industrial construction. As a “cure and seal” for new construction, InnerSeal DPS out performs film-forming type curing agents, allowing concrete to cure uniformly and resist spot drying and hairline checking. InnerSeal DPS eliminates floor covering failures by creating a permanent internal moisture / vapor barrier within the concrete. This barrier stops both the moisture and alkali from moving through the slab and reaching the adhesive. No flooring system should ever be applied without first using InnerSeal DPS. The insurance and peace of mind from protecting an expensive flooring system from failure extends beyond the contractor to the architect, engineer, designer and especially the owner.

Exterior Exposed Aggregate Concrete

Driveways, Sidewalks, Patios, Parking Decks, Roadways

A two step application of InnerSeal Densi-Dye followed immediately by Hydro-Top penetrating sealer. InnerSeal Densi-Dye internally seals, stabilizes, strengthens and preserves while Hydro-Top provides water and stain repellent protection. By using InnerSeal Densi-Dye with a light loading of color from the Wakefield Color System (usually gray or brown, depending on the aggregate) the concrete is given a uniform tone that enhances the exposed aggregate and hides imperfections. A two-step process is required since the surface of some aggregates (pea gravel) are un-reactive and may appear “white” from un-reacted silicate not rinsed from their surface.

Hydro-Top alone also makes an excellent exposed aggregate sealer. A heavy flood of Hydro-Top will penetrate deep around and below the aggregate, protecting them from “stone loosening” and water penetration. Hydro-Top will also provide a slight enhancement without the peeling, flaking and “slippery when wet” problems associated with acrylics.

ColorSeal 3000 works by forming an extremely thin, hard, scratch and chemical resistant coating at the surface, while other deep penetrating sealers seal the substrate from below. ColorSeal 3000 can be used clear or with a light loading of color from the Wakefield Color System (usually gray or brown, depending on the aggregate) the concrete is given a uniform tone that enhances the exposed aggregate and hides imperfections. ColorSeal 3000 leaves a warm satin sheen and an extremely durable and hot tire resistant surface. ColorSeal 3000 can be top coated with Wakefield TC-One for added gloss, protection and chemical resistance if needed.

Hydro-Top will stop water intrusion into the mortar and prevent deterioration from damaging freeze / thaw cycles. Gives a slightly enhanced natural look.

Concrete or Cinder Block Walls and Foundations

InnerSeal DPS penetrates deep into cementious block, creating a permanent internal seal and barrier. This barrier also eliminates paint failures on concrete block by neutralizing alkali and preventing both moisture and alkali from ever coming into contact with the paint or coating. When installed correctly and properly cured, InnerSeal DPS will actually hold back hydrostatic pressure and stop water from flowing into porous masonry. In cases of water intrusion, both sides of walls or foundations should be treated with InnerSeal DPS to insure all pores are closed. Wakefield recommends a three step application for hydrostatic applications; two saturating coats of InnerSeal DPS followed by a final coat of InnerSeal CBE. Not only does the InnerSeal CBE give an extreme outer layer of protection, you also have the option of adding color. DO NOT APPLY INNERSEAL CBE IF PAINT IS TO BE APPLIED.

InnerSeal CBE is a one step application to internally seal, strengthen and waterproof cementious block. Use with the Wakefield Color System to permanently add rich vibrant color to masonry block construction. InnerSeal CBE provides extreme protection for masonry block, even in the most demanding environments.

Under normal conditions in less demanding environments, Hydro-Top penetrating sealer is an excellent water repellent masonry block sealer.

Tiltup or Tilt Up Construction

InnerSeal DPS penetrates deep below the surface of the concrete, increasing its strength and sealing out water and moisture forever. For tilt -up construction, InnerSeal DPS is the only curing agent that not only improves the concrete, but will never cause paint or coating failures later in construction. If applied during construction, InnerSeal DPS can also reduce corrosion of the underlying steel reinforcement by more than 50%. InnerSeal DPS eliminates saponification and paint failures on concrete by neutralizing alkali and creating a permanent internal barrier below the surface of the concrete. This barrier stops both moisture and alkali from ever coming into contact with the paint or coating. InnerSeal DPS also “etches” as it penetrates, creating it’s own bonding agent. Testing has shown that InnerSeal DPS can extend the life of paint over concrete by up to 300%. No concrete should ever be painted without first using InnerSeal DPS.

InnerSeal CBE can offer even greater advantages to tilt up construction than InnerSeal DPS, especially in extreme environments. In areas prone to hurricanes, driving rain or salt spray InnerSeal CBE offers the most extreme water and salt protection available. In this type construction. InnerSeal CBE is a one step application that seals, hardens, waterproofs and stops corrosion. InnerSeal CBE cannot be painted.

RCB is an elastomeric liquid ceramic coating that can be applied in place of paint to virtually any type of construction. RCB can sustain temperatures between -70°F and 2100°F, and is applied just like paint over InnerSeal DPS as a primer. With today’s emphasis on “green” building practices, RCB is scoring big points. RCB works by creating a thin ceramic thermal barrier that insulates and reflects thermal energy back into the atmosphere rather than allow it to be conducted to the underlying surface. RCB has been shown to reduce energy consumption by up to 52% and can be used on houses, office buildings, warehouses, roofs, HVAC ducts and many other applications. RCB not only insulates, it is also rated as a class A #1 fire retardant, asbestos encapsulant and a highly effective soundproofing.

Precast or Pre Cast Construction

Pre-cast concrete can range from small to massive and decorative to structural. InnerSeal DPS is the only treatment versatile enough to be used right from the factory, it internally seals, stabilizes, strengthens and preserves concrete without changing color, texture or damaging the surface. InnerSeal DPS also eliminates saponification and paint failures on concrete by neutralizing alkali and creating a permanent internal barrier below the surface of the concrete. This barrier stops both moisture and alkali from ever coming into contact with the paint or coating. InnerSeal DPS also “etches” as it penetrates, creating it’s own bonding agent. Testing has shown that InnerSeal DPS can extend the life of paint over concrete by up to 300%. If applied during construction, InnerSeal DPS can also reduce corrosion of the underlying steel reinforcement by more than 50%.

InnerSeal CBE can offer even greater advantages to exposed concrete components than InnerSeal DPS, especially in extreme environments. In areas prone to ice, snow, hurricanes, driving rain or salt spray InnerSeal CBE offers the most extreme water, ice and salt protection available. On structural members such as bridge and road way components, InnerSeal CBE offers the most aggressive steel corrosion protection available.

Parking Decks and Garages

Concrete parking decks and parking garages have always been plagued by problems, and barren of solutions. They flex, move, leak, crack, stain, corrode and crumble from heavy traffic, oil and salt. Although InnerSeal CBE can’t eliminate the traffic, it is the next best thing. Traditional concrete coating systems always fail on parking decks due to the constant flexing and moving of the structure. InnerSeal CBE is different, it penetrates deep into the concrete creating an internal seal that becomes an integral part of the structure, not just a surface coating. Not only does this internal barrier seal and protect the concrete from water, ice, snow, salt, and oils, it actually strengthens the concrete surface eliminating dusting, surface wear and abrasion. InnerSeal CBE can also reduce corrosion of the underlying steel reinforcement by more than 50%. On multi-level structures, leakage and water intrusion are huge problems. Water flows over and through the concrete picking up dirt, oil, salt and other contaminates, and eventually depositing then on the expensive vehicles parked in the levels below. When installed correctly, InnerSeal CBE can in most cases completely stop water intrusion and leaking. Special cleaning and preparation procedures apply to existing parking structures. Please contact Wakefield Manufacturing for support when specifying and before applying.

A two step application, that yields the same protective results as the one-step InnerSeal CBE system. Contractors find this two-step process helpful when working in hot temperatures or over very dense concrete. By separating the steps, the products have more time to penetrate without flash-drying.

Stucco

Stucco can benefit from the application of InnerSeal DPS more than almost any other substrate. Upon application, InnerSeal DPS penetrates completely through the thin layer of stucco, more than doubling its strength and sealing out water and moisture forever. If applied during construction, InnerSeal DPS can reduce corrosion of the underlying metal lath by more than 50% over the life of the stucco. InnerSeal DPS also prepares the surface for the adhesion paints or other coatings. Simply priming with InnerSeal DPS has been shown to extend the service life of most paints by over 300%. The labor savings alone from one re-paint easily offsets the initial cost of the InnerSeal DPS application.

InnerSeal CBE can offer even greater advantages to stucco construction than InnerSeal DPS, especially in extreme environments. In areas prone to hurricanes, driving rain or salt spray InnerSeal CBE offers the most extreme water and salt protection available. In stucco construction, InnerSeal CBE can also be a huge labor saver due to the fact that it does not require painting after application. Thanks to the Wakefield Color System, InnerSeal CBE is a one step application that seals, hardens, waterproofs, stops corrosion and colors the surface without the use of paint.

RCB is an elastomeric liquid ceramic coating that can be applied in place of paint to virtually any type of construction including stucco. RCB can sustain temperatures between -70°F and 2100°F, and is applied just like paint over InnerSeal DPS as a primer. With today’s emphasis on “green” building practices, RCB is scoring big points. RCB works by creating a thin ceramic thermal barrier that insulates and reflects thermal energy back into the atmosphere rather than allow it to be conducted to the underlying surface. RCB has been shown to reduce energy consumption by up to 52% and can be used on houses, office buildings, warehouses, roofs, HVAC ducts and many other applications. RCB not only insulates, it is also rated as a class A #1 fire retardant, asbestos encapsulant and a highly effective soundproofing.

Mortar

Natural Stone and Concrete Block Masonry

Mortar on natural stone and concrete block masonry can be protected by a two step application of InnerSeal DPS and Hydro-Top penetrating sealer. InnerSeal DPS should be applied to the masonry as soon as the mortar has cured (28 days), being sure to saturate the mortar joints completely. Allow InnerSeal DPS to penetrate completely, then follow with Hydro-Top. For existing masonry, all loose, cracked or crumbling mortar must be repaired before application. DO NOT APPLY INNERSEAL DPS TO TILE OR BRICK.

Brick Masonry

Hydro-Top is the absolute best brick, stone and masonry sealer ever developed. Apply liberally from the bottom up being sure to saturate mortar joints completely. Hydro-Top will stop water intrusion into the mortar and prevent deterioration from damaging freeze / thaw cycles.

Grout

Hydro-Top is a highly effective sealer for all types of grout. Apply liberally to the tile surface being sure to completely saturate all grout lines. Immediately use a bucket of clean water and a damp sponge to completely remove all residual Hydro-Top on the tile. Hydro-Top will not penetrate into most tile and if not removed, will leave a residue on the surface when dry.
