Consumption
Approximately 0.2 – 0.3 kg/m2 (approx. 5m2/litre) per coat depending on substrate conditions. As a concrete sealer two coats are normally required to achieve a total thickness of 100 microns. Strongly absorbent or porous substrates require two primer coats with a waiting time between coats of minimum 12 hours, and maximum 36 hours.
