Wykamol Concentrated Anti-Lime Sealer 2 Litre
Wykamol’s Concentrated Anti-Lime Sealer is applied to concrete surfaces before the installation of the Wykamol Cavity Drain Membrane System to prevent the ‘leaching’ of free lime from the concrete slabs. ‘Leaching’ of free lime, which then solidifies, causes blockages within a cavity drain membrane system. This prevents the free movement of water behind the membrane, ultimately stopping the water from reaching a gravity drain or a sump and pump system. Blockages caused by free lime will increase the regularity of maintenance of a cavity drain membrane system and its pumps, or in some cases, cause the system to fail.

Wykamol Concentrated Anti-Lime Sealer Usage Instructions
Substrate Preparation:
Note: New concrete must be at least 7 days old before the Anti-Lime Sealer is applied.
1. If any exposed steel is present, brush two coats of suitable corrosion inhibitor on it.
2. Remove all loose material and surface latencies, i.e. dust, oil, grease, corrosion, and organic growth, by suitable means, preferably using wet grit, water blasting techniques, or equivalent methods.
3. Ensure there is no water pooling before application. Wykamol’s Anti-Lime Sealer can be applied to damp but not wet surfaces.
Mixing: The product is diluted to a maximum of 9 parts water to 1 part product to provide a ready-to-use solution.
- Into a clean container or sprayer, add 16 litres of clean water.
- Empty the contents of the Anti-Lime Sealer into the container or
- sprayer. Then fill the Anti-Lime Sealer packaging with water and
- empty this into the container or sprayer, also.
Application: Apply a single coat using a coarse sprayer. Move methodically, from one end to the other until complete and even coverage is achieved.
Curing: The substrate should be left for a minimum of 3 hours to allow the Anti-Lime Sealer to absorb. Once the substrate is touch dry it may be walked on or covered.
Cleaning: Immediately remove any overspray or splashes of Wykamol’s Anti-Lime Sealer, as this will be extremely difficult to remove once the product begins to dry. Wash all empty containers and spray equipment with clean, warm water
Storage and Shelf Life: Store in cool, dry conditions, off the ground. Protect from all sources of moisture and frost. Shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture, when unopened, undamaged and stored correctly
Health and Safety: For further information and advice, please contact the Wykamol Technical Department and consult the safety data sheet, which is available upon request or can be downloaded from our website
