Product Description
Consolideck® DuraSheen is a non-yellowing curing and sealing compound. Tough and chemical
resistant, DuraSheen is designed for horizontal concrete where a premium, vibrant gloss and
shine are required.
DuraSheen contains no fillers, modifiers or extenders that can cause cure and seals to yellow,
blush or dull out. Independent laboratory tests confirm DuraSheen’s non-yellowing characteristics
outlast and outperform competitive products.
Easily applied DuraSheen quickly forms a hard, glossy, water- and dust-proof clear shield on
concrete. It’s long-lasting, chemical resistant, waterproof, and dust proof. DuraSheen is ideal for
concrete new or old. It makes an excellent base coat for paints or tile and carpet adhesives,
meeting the requirements of the Resilient Tile Institute and the tile adhesion test requirements of
ASTM C 1315.

Application
Before applying, read “Preparation” and “Safety Information” sections in the Manufacturer’s
Product Data Sheet for Consolideck ® DuraSheen. Do not dilute or alter. Mix well before use.
Curing New Concrete
Apply as soon as surface water has disappeared and slab can support the weight of an
applicator. Apply at 300-400 ft2/gal (7-10 m2/L). Coverage may vary based on porosity
and texture of surface.
Sealing New & Existing Concrete
Surfaces must be clean, dry and in good repair. On concrete already cured with
DuraSheen, sealing with DuraSheen gives added protection. Apply after 28 days of curing.
On concrete not cured with DuraSheen, apply two coats. Add the second coat four hours
after the first.
