CHALK-FORCE™ is an epoxy-acrylic, high performance surface conditioner and chalk sealer that is designed to provide a firm surface for application of latex paints and coatings. It seals high pH (pH of 13 or less) cementitious surfaces. It eliminates the 28 day curing period for fresh cementitious surfaces. This single component, fully crosslinked emulsion polymer product, provides many of the attributes of more expensive polyurethane and epoxy products. This is a low V.O.C. waterborne formulation of new technology that gives the convenience of water clean up while surpassing the durability and performance of solvent based products. It has excellent penetration on porous surfaces and superior adhesion on non-porous or compatible previously coated surfaces. It binds chalky, powdery or porous surfaces, especially badly weathered cement or stucco. CHALK-FORCE™ has excellent efflorescence and alkali resistance.
CHALK-FORCE™ penetrates the existing surface, bonding the previous coating back together, leaving a chalk free, moisture resistant surface that can be recoated in 4 hours under normal drying conditions.
CHALK-FORCE™ provides ease of application, quick drying time, and allows all top coatings to form a permanent bond for long life without fear of peeling due to poor substrate adhesion.

CHALK-FORCE™ is suitable for previously coated surfaces that are chalking. CHALK-FORCE™ will penetrate and lock chalky surfaces in place leaving a substrate ready to accept any grade of top coating specified for the application.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
For proper adhesion and penetration it is essential that the surface is prepared properly. The surface must be pressure washed with at least 1500 P.S.I. to remove all loose dirt, mold, and excessive chalking. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying CHALK-FORCE™. The surface must be dry and free from all wax, grease, oil, dirt, loose or flaking material and soap deposits.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Stir contents thoroughly. Do not thin this product, use as is from the container. Apply either by roller, brush or airless sprayer. Apply at temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Wait 24 hours before applying to hot or high pH cementitious surfaces. Apply uniformly and do not leave build ups. Be sure to completely seal the surface by overlapping into wet areas.
CLEAN UP:
Clean up all spills, tools and overspray immediately while the coating is still wet with warm soapy water.
