.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
OKON WATERPROOFING SEALER is a easy-to-use
multi-surface water repellent AND sealer. It helps
protect porous concrete or wood from the damaging
effects of water absorption. Water is a major cause
ofpremature deterioration of many building materials. In
concrete water causes efflorescence, mold, freeze-thaw
damage, dusting and staining. In wood water absorption
causes splitting, cracking, warping rotting and mold.
MULTISURFACE helps prevent these occurrences by
significantly reducing water absorption. Unlike simple
wax-based repellents, MULTISURFACE is an
acrylic/siloxane blend that provides protection long after
the initial water-beading action has ended. A single
application can last one to three years and can be easily
refreshed with another application. See application
instructions and label limitations for details.

.PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
MULTISURFACE requires minimal surface preparation
and can be applied to most porous surfaces that are
clean (free of dirt, waxes and oils), non-glossy and free
from sub-surface moisture.
Porous: Test the porosity of the surface by sprinkling with
water. If the surface turns dark as the water is absorbed
MULTISURFACE can be applied.
Clean: Sweep and hose-off exterior surfaces; vacuum and
damp-mop interior surfaces. Use a degreaser to remove
oil or grease stains. Use JOMAX® to remove exterior
mildew and a wood brightener to remove gray weathered
wood fibers.
PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)…………
Sub-surface moisture: Do not apply to interior floors where
sub-surface moisture is present. To test for moisture,
conduct a test by simply taping a piece of 4 mil plastic
sheet 18" by 18" on the bare concrete for 24 hours. Be
sure to tape all four sides. After 24 hours, check the
concrete for signs of moisture. The concrete will be darker
if damp. A dark surface under the plastic indicates
moisture and MULTISURFACE should not be applied:
Exterior pitted concrete, exposed aggregate and
sandstone absorb and hold moisture unless totally sealed.
MULT SURFACE should not be used on these surfaces in
areas where freezing occurs. New concrete must be cured
for 28 days prior to coating. The surface must be
thoroughly rinsed if applied over acid stain or if surface
was acid etched. Un-rinsed acid salts may cause whitish-
blotches to appear.
COVERAGE
The spread-rate of OKON Waterproofing Sealer will
vary with the porosity and texture of the surface. A second
coat may be applied if the surface is still absorbent.
.APPLICATION
MULTISURFACE is ready-to-use, no thinning is required.
It can be applied by brush, roller or garden-type sprayer.
Do not pour product onto surface to spread. Apply a
uniform wet coat at the estimated spread rate. It appears
milky-white when applied but dries clear. Material that is
not absorbed should be back rolled or brushed out to
avoid build up. Do not allow puddles, drips or runs to dry
on the surface. MULTISURFACE may slightly darken the
surface and add a slight sheen. Stop application at
expansion joints, walls or breaks defined with masking
tape. The surface temperature at time of application is
very important.
CLEAN UP
Clean hands and tools with soapy water. Drips and runs
that have dried may be removed using a strong solvent
within 24 hours after application. After that time sanding
may be necessary.
LIMITATIONS
Do not use on driveways, flagstone, or non-porous
materials. OKON WATERPROOFING SEALER
(MULTISURFACE) does not provide protection against
hydrostatic water pressure, wind driven rain, or
efflorescence. Tinting MULTISURFACE is not
recommended. Where a higher performance product is
needed light weight or split face block - use OKON W-2
or OKON PLUGGER.
