Application
Smartseal Patio sealer can be applied using a sprayer unit or roller, at a rate of 4 m2 per litre (pavers) 1st coat & 5 m2 per litre 2nd coat. A two-coat spray application is required to fully cover the jointing sand. The sealer will be tack free within 2 hours at 20°C and foot traffic may be permitted after 4 hours. These times may be increased or reduced depending on the ambient temperature. During the curing cycle, protect from rain. Do not apply when the ground temperature is above 30°C or below 5°C. All equipment should be cleaned with Smartseal cleaning fluid after use.
De-icing salts should not be applied directly on Smartseal block paving, patio or concrete sealers. Salt chemically reduces the temperature at which water freezes and will result in water ingress into the concrete. Subsequent freezing may result in the concrete ‘seal’ being broken by the expansion of water as it freezes and white ‘pitted’ areas may become visible.
Preparation
New Patios should be swept clean, ensuring there is sufficient pointing in the joints. Existing paving should be pressure washed to remove all surface debris. If the area is contaminated with weeds & moss then it should be treated with Smartseal Moss Clear. Oil should be removed using Smartseal Oil Remover. The treated area should then be left to dry and the joints re-sanded & compacted to the lower edge of the paver chamfers with clean kiln-dried sand. Moisture in the paver & sand will inhibit penetration of the sealer and produce whiteness.
Technical & Test Data
Smartseal Patio sealer has been tested by the TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) and certified that it meets the SRV (Skid Resistance Value) for all categories of paving for local authority pedestrian areas and when heavily trafficked is suitable for special applications where risks of skidding are high as laid down in the UK Highway Authorities Tender Specification. Copies available on request.

Q: Can this be used on block paving?
A: Thanks for the question. We would advise to apply the block paving sealer products on block paving as those products are formulated for that surface. With heavy traffic going on block paving ideally you would want a sealer that can impregnate the blocks as efficiently as the block paving sealers. The natural stone sealers are solvent-free designed for the natural stone only.
Q: HOW LONG DOES PATIO SEALER TAKE TO DRY BEFORE RAIN WILL EFFECT IT. MANY THANKS R J TOLLEY
A: Although it is not an exact science, it would be best to avoid applying the patio sealer if rain is forecast within 8 hours after the sealer has been applied. If rain gets on the sealer before it has fully cured then there is a possibility of surface whiteness appearing.
Q: I have just completed sealing my concrete-paved driveway and path with patio sealer, and have applied two coats, as recommended. The results are very good, but I'd like to see if a third coat will enhance the finish. Do you know of any reason why a third coat should not be applied?
A: You could apply a third coat of patio sealer if you wanted to but it is unlikely to make much difference to the appearance after two coats have already been applied.

Brilliant customer service and products as always from Smartseal, I have bought from them on previous occasions and have always been totally satisfied. Latest purchase was for patio sealant for a very large area, I laid my patio( 80 sq metres + paths alongside the house 30 years ago and have always maintained it despite natural weathering of the slabs, all I have to do is the usual pressure wash then as instructions apply 2 coats in completely dry conditions and it comes up like new. Anyone reading this note, as per Smartseals advice on the tins do not apply sealant in very hot weather and when slabs are above 23 degrees as you wont get such a nice result( we have had a really hot Summer, glad we had a couple of much cooler days for me to get the first then second coats on. Thank you Smartseal once again, I would thoroughly recommend this company. Martin Farley ( Chichester in West Sussex)
