Using ENESEAL^® HR

Surface Preparation - ENESEAL® HR should only be applied to clean, dry and structurally sound surfaces. Concrete, brick, block or other masonry or cementitious surfaces must be free of efflorescence. Any contaminants, such as oil, must be removed by pressure washing, steam cleaning, solvent cleaning, etc. Any existing coatings must be sound and well bonded to the substrate. Loose or flaking coatings must be removed by rotary wire brushing, abrasive blasting, grinding or other suitable means. All rust must be removed.

Priming Unpainted Ferrous Metal Surfaces - Prior to applying ENESEAL® HR to unpainted ferrous and galvanized metal surfaces, these areas should be first primed with ENESEAL® CR to prevent rest bleed through and improve adhesion of ENESEAL® HR. ENESEAL® CR is a one component water based coating. Apply one coat of ENESEAL® CR to all exposed (unpainted) ferrous and galvanized metal surfaces to which ENESEAL® HR may be applied. See the ENESEAL® CR Tech Sheet for more information. ENESEAL® HR may be applied over the ENESEAL® CR after the ENESEAL® CR has cured between 1 and 24 hours.

Application - ENESEAL® HR is a water based system and, therefore, must not be applied when freezing conditions exist or are expected within 24 hours of the application. Do not apply ENESEAL® HR if rain or snow is expected within 24 hours of the application. Applications onto hot surfaces, i.e., steam pipes or ducts, must not exceed 140° F/60°C. Equipment should first be cooled prior to the application of the ENESEAL® HR. Once the ENESEAL® HR has cured for 24 hours it can withstand dry heat temperatures of up to 300° F/150° C.

Applications to newly tarred or to petroleum based materials/substrates must not be carried out until the material has fully cured - - usually 2-3 months. New concrete must be allowed to cure for at least 21 days before treating with the ENESEAL® HR system.
