Not sure if an Aldon product is right for you? Good! You never know if the results will be exactly what you expect until you try it on your project. Order samples and eliminate the guesswork. See label reproduction below for application instructions.

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Acrylic in a water base.
  • Coating type "film former"
  • Used indoors and outdoors - does not yellow or break down
  • Milky when applied and dries clear. Usually no effect to material color
  • Like all water based coatings, standing water can weaken the film. This means it can soften with long term (hours) of standing water. When softened, it can scratch off.
  • Application instructions on the label (see below) do not include application on walls because this product is rarely used on walls. If it is your choice to apply this product to a wall, you will need to experiment with brushing, rolling, or spraying to see what method works best on your surface type.
ITEMS OF INTEREST:
  • This product is more moisture tolerant than the solvent based sealers. It can be used with only three days drying time on tile and grout.
  • See the  Pros/Cons And Pictures Of All Surface Types  section for your surfacing. That page will have pictures of the recommended sealers for each surface type.
  • An Aldon sealer can do a lot more than just protect and look pretty. See the How To Choose The Best Sealer For Your Project  for addressing other benefits of using a sealer, such as: strengthening weak or powdery surfaces, making minor color problems disappear, stopping efflorescence, etc. These issues are covered in detail in
  • You can protect a glossy finish sealer from traffic wear patterns by using Aldon Lifeguard.
  • See the product label reproduction below for all the information on surface preparation, application technique, drying time, etc. This label reproduction will always be the most current. Because we are constantly improving information and passing on tips from users, this could be more up to date than the label on the container.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If you do not see the results you expect:

It is not a problem with the product! (They all do what we say they do!)

  1. Your conditions may have been misdiagnosed! (It can happen, even with all the information we provide.)
  2. The surface conditions (absorption rate, contaminents, temperatures, etc.) are other than thought.
  3. And/or - it was not applied per label instructions! (The instructions are designed to overcome items 1 and 2 above, and overcome job conditions of which you might not be aware.)

When you read all the health and safety warnings, you will see we have done our best to make you think about working with any chemicals from any manufacturer. Even household cleaners purchased in supermarkets (many with more hazardous ingredients than we use due to cost factors) should be used with common sense and awareness. People have been injured by not knowing you can create poisonous gases by mixing chlorine bleach with some cleaning products. One of the many criteria involved in Aldon products is that all our products will be used with any other of our products and no normal combination of usage events should be hazardous. Nevertheless, use common sense and don't be in a hurry. Let each step prove itself satisfactorily before proceeding to the next.
