Mer-Krete™ GroutSealer
SILICONE TYPE WATER-REPELLENT FOR PORTLAND CEMENT GROUTS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Mer-Krete GroutSealer is a penetrating Silicone Sealer for new or old portland cement grout. It is a water based, silicone resin designed to protect grout surfaces from stains and water. It is also recommended for concrete, porous stone and masonry surfaces. It quickly penetrates producing a sub-surface hydrophobic reaction below the surface. It does not change most surfaces, leaving a natural look.

USES
Easy to apply
Water based formula
Interior and exterior use
Suitable for porous, absorbent masonry, clay, stone, marble and grout.

LIMITATIONS
Caution should be used to prevent Mer-Krete GroutSealer from getting on surfaces not intended to be sealed. Avoid contact with glass, live plants and areas not to be sealed. Wipe off any GroutSealer when in contact with surfaces not to be sealed immediately and rinse well with water. If excess sealer is allowed to dry on surfaces, a white residue may form that is difficult to remove. Do not allow the sealer to puddle, wipe away any excess sealer that is not absorbed.
