Crystal Shine High-Gloss Lacquer-Based Sealer

Satin Matte Protective Lacquer Sealer for Decorative Concrete

Crystal Shine Matte is a solvent-based lacquer sealer designed to enhance and protect decorative concrete surfaces while delivering a subtle satin or matte finish. It is commonly used on exposed aggregate, stamped concrete, stained concrete, walkways, pool decks, and architectural concrete surfaces where a natural, low-gloss appearance is preferred.

The formulation creates a clear protective membrane that improves durability, dustproofs the surface, and helps resist staining while maintaining the natural look of the concrete. It is designed for both interior and exterior use and is suitable for new or existing concrete.

Key Features & Benefits

Satin Matte Finish Enhancement

Provides a soft, natural-looking satin finish that enhances the color and texture of decorative concrete without creating a high-gloss appearance.

Durable Protective Film

Forms a tough, clear membrane that helps protect concrete from dirt, stains, and general surface wear.

UV Resistant Formula

Designed to resist yellowing or discoloration under UV exposure, helping maintain long-term appearance stability.

Dustproofing Capability

Helps reduce surface dusting on concrete, making maintenance and cleaning easier over time.

Improved Surface Maintenance

Sealed surfaces are easier to clean and resist everyday contaminants more effectively than untreated concrete.

Interior & Exterior Use

Suitable for a wide range of environments including outdoor decorative concrete and indoor polished or stained slabs.

Common Applications

Decorative Concrete Floors

Used on stained or polished concrete where a satin finish is preferred over gloss.

Exposed Aggregate Surfaces

Enhances natural stone exposure while providing protective sealing.

Walkways & Sidewalks

Protects pedestrian surfaces from wear, staining, and weather exposure.

Pool Decks

Helps protect concrete around pools while maintaining a non-glossy, natural appearance.

Architectural Concrete

Ideal for walls, facades, and design-focused concrete installations.

Recommended Surfaces

Crystal Shine Matte can be used on:

• Exposed aggregate concrete
• Stamped concrete
• Stained concrete
• Broom finish concrete
• Decorative slabs
• Walkways and sidewalks
• Pool decks
• Interior concrete floors
• Architectural walls and surfaces

Application Instructions

Surface Preparation

• Surface must be clean, dry, and free of contaminants
• Remove existing sealers, oils, curing compounds, and dust
• Ensure concrete is fully cured and structurally sound
• Do not apply over wet or damp surfaces

Application Method

• Apply using low-pressure sprayer, roller, or solvent-resistant applicator
• Maintain even coverage to avoid streaking or lap marks
• Avoid heavy application or pooling
• Multiple thin coats are preferred over a single heavy coat

Recoat Guidance

• Allow initial coat to dry to touch before recoating
• Additional coats may be used to enhance durability or adjust finish uniformity

Coverage Rates

Coverage varies based on surface porosity:

• Smooth concrete: ~350–400 sq ft/gal
• Medium porosity: ~250–350 sq ft/gal
• Highly porous surfaces: ~200–300 sq ft/gal

Actual coverage should be confirmed on-site due to variability in concrete finish and absorption.

Performance Characteristics

Satin Appearance Control

Delivers a controlled matte-to-satin finish depending on application thickness and surface texture.

Durability

Forms a protective film that helps resist wear, staining, and environmental exposure.

UV Stability

Resists yellowing and maintains clarity under sun exposure.

Moisture Resistance

Helps protect surfaces from moisture-related staining and surface degradation.
