Dust Arresting Treatment

DESCRIPTION The application of the first coat should continue until no

MASTERSEAL 333 is a deep penetrating silicate
solution for sealing and dust-proofing powdery or friable
concrete and masonry surfaces.
RECOMMENDED FOR
• Old concrete floors that are soft and starting to dust
due to inadequate curing and/or low cement
content.
• Powdery or friable concrete and masonry surfaces.
• New concrete surface to seal against oil, grease
and many chemical solutions.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Dust arresting treatment. Seals and dust proofs new
or old concrete, floors, walls, masonry or stonework.
Deep penetrating liquid hardener. Prolongs the
serviceable life of “problem” concrete floors before
retoping is required.
• Protects concrete surfaces by sealing and hardening
concrete surfaces, providing increased durability and
resistance to abrasion.
• Dense surface. Resists penetration of oil and grease.
Protects concrete from the corrosive effects of smoke
fumes, mild acids, salts and many other aggressive
chemical solutions.

nd rd
24 hours. Repeat procedure for 2 and 3 coats.
During application do not allow puddles to form or
significant surface build with occur. A glaze of sheen
should not form on the surface.
MASTERSEAL 333 is formulated to penetrate, not form
a surface coating. 24 hours after the completion on the
3rd coat, wash and broom any excess surface material
away.
NOTE : surfaces treated with MASTERSEAL 333 can
exhibit a whitish, blotchy appearance. Where the treated
surface has been allowed to become wet up to seven
dyas after the final coat, it can become slippery. To
overcome these surface conditions, neutralise by
brooming a solution of 1 part hydrochloric acid diluted in
15 parts of water onto the floor.
Hose down after 10 minutes and allow to dry.
The above procedure is also necessary before
considering overcoating with paints, render, etc. A small
test area is recommended prior to application of any
subsequent surface finish.
Treated surface may be opened to traffic when the
surface has dried completely and no tackiness remains,
usually after 24 hours.
CLEANING
Clean equipment promptly after use with clean water.
