Sealer Repair Fluid for removing whiteness on Imprinted Concrete and Block Paved Surfaces
If the solvent based imprinted concrete or block paving sealers have been applied in conditions when the surface is damp this can lead to problems. Surface whiteness is the most common issue and appears over time if the sealer has been applied when the surface is damp.
Smartseal sealer repair fluid should be used when problems like patchy whiteness have appeared on the surface of existing imprinted concrete or block paved driveways and patios. Surface whiteness, peeling or flaking sealer are common issues that are easily corrected using sealer repair fluid.
Smartseal Sealer Repair Fluid will restore existing imprinted concrete sealer or block paving sealer and clear surface whiteness from imprinted concrete and block paved surfaces.
- Coverage ratio: 3 - 4 m² per litre
Sealer repair fluid is a product designed to repair incorrectly applied sealer which is lifting or sealer which has reacted with moisture during the drying process. For imprinted concrete it should be liberally applied to the affected area, left for a couple of minutes and then worked into the surface vigorously with a soft broom until the sealer goes "tacky" under your broom. This will show you have 'softened' the sealer and you then allow it to re-bond to the concrete by leaving it.
For removal of surface whiteness on block paving repeat as instructions above, but with block paving be careful not to disturb the jointing sand when working the sealer repair fluid into the surface of the blocks.

Q: Hi, How long can I use a 25L barrel of Silk Imprinted concrete sealer before it is deemed unusable? The barrel is sealed correctly with original seal and stored safely in a garden shed. WHY I ASK? I have recently used sealer repair fluid to removed white spots and a few areas of delaminated sealer. The results were ok. 24hrs later I applied a 3 year old silk concrete sealer and it appears as if the white spots have returned. The drive was a suitable temperature prior to application and the ambient air temperature is in the high 20s with no rain for a week or more.. my only conclusion is the sealer is no longer suitable for use? Can you offer any further advice to rectify this issue other than repeating the process? Thanks in advance. Ps. Silk sealer is applied annually (always warm weather) to maintain protection.
A: We generally say store unopened for no longer than 12 months prior to using. We often find it can be used outside this period but if stored in a cool dry place the sealer should be OK to use for 12-18 months afer purchase. If you the sealer is cloudy when opened it should not be used as it indicates moisture has contaminated the drum. Are
Q: How much will 5L cover on existing drive
A: It depends how it is used as it may be needed to go over an area more than once. Around 20-25sqm max.
Q: Hi I have imprinted concrete,on my drive,put silk gloss and anti slip on,two weeks ago last few days it turned white in patches,put the repair seal on,it worked fine ,do I have to reseal again,how long to wait to put car on drive.
A: You dont have to reseal it again after applying the sealer repair fluid. However if you wanted to do so, it will not have any adverse effects on the sealer already applied and will probably prolong its lifespan.

Good first repair coat easy to use.
I havent used it yet not been fine weather
It does what it says on the tin! Probablly. I over calculated / overbought the required quantity, due to using the 'coverage' quotation, and it's a bit pricier than other brands of Xylene, but assured quality? I'm not a scientist. Can't comment on its prime purpose of releasing 'trapped' moisture in the imprinted concrete, as the white discolouration on mine must be 'salts' etc., that have leached out of the concrete after showing up about 3 yrs from laying, and is now 10 yrs old, and has had four goings over in that time. Used two coats, with a final sealant coat, which has improved the appearance - for now?
