Bone Dry Original

Description

Bone Dry Original Concrete Floor Sealer

Bone Dry Original Concrete Floor Sealer is a penetrating, permanent waterproof concrete floor sealer. Originally developed to seal concrete for hazardous waste containment applications, it fills the pours of concrete and is an affordable option for sealing concrete before installing Vinyl, VCT or Wood Flooring. It is non-toxic and easy to apply. Whether installing a new concrete slab or looking to seal an existing concrete floor in your home or garage, Original Bone Dry provides a strong vapor barrier, eliminates causes of concrete sweating and mitigates moisture in your cement masonry project. Non-toxic Original Bone Dry Original permanently waterproofs concrete floors.

Building contractors have used Bone Dry Concrete Sealers for over 35 years without callbacks, failure or job downtime.

Core Functions of Bone Dry Original Concrete Floor Sealer:

SEALING: Bone Dry seals concrete and other cement-based materials into a solid, non-porous mass. Its penetrating quality provides deep sealing for the life of the concrete.

BONDING: Bone Dry eliminates dusting and flaking, prepares the treated surface for paints, caulking compounds, adhesives and floor coverings, and increases the bond and life of these materials. It is compatible with any type of covering.

DENSIFYING: Bone Dry initially makes concrete substantially harder. Concrete continues to harden but at a slower rate.

WATERPROOFING: Bone Dry becomes a permanent part of the concrete by reacting with the free lime and alkali to completely waterproof and strengthen the concrete’s structure.

CURING: Bone Dry Concrete Floor Sealer is extremely effective in all temperate climates.

COVERAGE: Approximately 1,100 square feet per 5-gallon pail, depending upon the porosity of the concrete.

How Concrete Floor Sealers Stop Moisture Damage

Excess moisture is a damaging force to concrete and any materials resting on top of it. Unwanted wetness deep within concrete flooring can eventually make its way to the surface, causing problems like:

• Organic growth such as mold and mildew beneath mats and non-air permeable coverings
• Cardboard in contact with the floor will absorb moisture and lose structural integrity

Protecting Your Floors from Moisture Damage

If your concrete floor is finished with vinyl, paint, wood, VCT, or carpeting, moisture and vapor mitigation is even more important. Excess moisture will emulsify and weaken adhesives with water latex and acrylic bases, causing many types of visible damage:

• Carpet will peel up and roll
• Vinyl tiling will begin to cup or curl
• Wood floors will begin to buckle
• Paint starts to bubble and chip away

Bone Dry Original concrete floor sealer works with these flooring systems:

• Adhered Flooring Systems: hardwood, vinyl, tile, broadloom carpet, carpet tile, hard tile, sheet goods, luxury vinyl, VCT, and more
• Floating Flooring Systems: engineered hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl, and wood
• Resinous Coating Systems: PMMA, polyurethane, epoxy, polyaspartic, and polyurea
• Paints: Floor Paints, wall Paints, acrylic and epoxy paints, masonry paints

For resinous coating systems, apply the concrete floor sealer after shot blasting the concrete and before applying the resinous coating.

The Original Fast-Acting Penetrating Concrete Floor Sealer

Original Bone Dry has been successfully applied to countless concrete subfloors for over 35 years. After simple spraying of the product over your slab, a minor wet mopping to remove the impurities like leaching alkali and lime will be necessary as they surface. All the while, Bone Dry is hard at work sealing porous areas of the slab and creating an impermeable barrier to prevent moisture from rising to the surface and damaging your home’s flooring.

Bone Dry Original + Quick Dry for Faster Curing Times

Pouring new concrete substrates can slow down building projects and create a challenge for home builders trying to keep residential construction jobs on time and under budget.

Adding Quick Dry to Bone Dry Original reduces cure time to as low as 6 hours, saving time for homeowners and contractors. Bone Dry Original adds value by protecting against moisture damage, and Quick Dry reduces total time on the project for the ultimate combination of time-saving and lasting protection. When you select the Quick Dry add-on, it is shipped premixed with your Bone Dry Sealer product, and no alteration to the product’s application process is necessary.

Other benefits of applying Bone Dry Original before flooring installation include:

• Shielding against the penetration of salt, alkalis, and oils.
• Provides resistance against surface dusting
• Immediate improvement in concrete hardness and strength
• Drastically reduces downtime between concrete pouring and flooring installation
• Bone Dry Original waterproofs and protects concrete and its coverings from moisture damage

Safety First: Handling Bone Dry Concrete Floor Sealers

Bone Dry Sealers are slightly corrosive to human tissue. Handle as a caustic solution, protect skin and eyes, and avoid prolonged breathing of vapors or mist. For ultimate protection, especially in confined areas, use a NIOSH-approved respirator and wear chemical goggles or a face shield and rubber or plastic gloves. Consult the Bone Dry Penetrating Concrete Sealer Material Safety Data Sheet for other safety instructions.

Precautions:

• If our concrete floor sealers become frozen in the container, thaw and agitate them before use.
• Do not expose aluminum, glass, or eyeglasses to our sealers as they could etch the surface.
• Do not apply to asphalt. Sealers break down the petroleum base of asphalt.
• Leather shoes and gloves will stiffen. Some glazed tile will be dulled.

First Aid Guidelines:

IF SWALLOWED, do not induce vomiting. Drink lots of water or milk, then drink diluted vinegar, lemon juice or orange juice. Get medical attention immediately.

IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT, thoroughly rinse off immediately with fresh water. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
