Pen50 Preserves The Surface’s Natural Look – without it changing the appearance of their surfaces.
Protect Porous Surfaces – Like Concrete, Natural Stone, Clay & Brick
From Water Damage, Mold and Mildew or Freeze-Thaw
CoverSeal Pen50 is a penetrating sealer that protects porous surfaces – like concrete and stone – from water-related damage. Made from a blend of silanes and siloxanes, it reacts to form a silicone resin that’s highly water-resistant and repellent. In keeping water out of the surface, it protects against mold growing and salts getting into the surface from freeze-thaw attack. Use it on the interior or exterior to protect your surfaces.
Mold and Mildew:
If you’re seeing signs of mold and mildew on your concrete, natural stone, limestone – any kind of porous surface – that’s a good indication that you need a water-repellent, penetrating sealer. Something like CoverSeal Pen50.
Crumbling or Dusting:
If you’ve got concrete and you’re noticing signs of crumbling or dusting, that’s probably because moisture has gotten into the surface. With ongoing freeze-thaw action (as the water freezes and expands), it crumbles and cracks the surface. Signs like this on concrete or pavers, indicates that you should be using something like the Pen50.
Any porous surface can benefit from a penetrating sealer like Pen50, and it will not change the look of your surface.
Is CoverSeal Pen50 A Commercial Or Consumer Product?
Pen50 is available to both commercial customers and DIY consumers. It was developed initially for commercial applications. Situations like working on historic buildings, public walkways, outdoor restaurants, hotel entrances, etc. But it is very user-friendly. It’s a water-based product that is easy to use, and easy to apply.
Situations Where You Would Use CoverSeal Pen50
Much of the time, customers using Pen50 are dealing with exterior situations. They come to us describing situations where moisture got into surfaces, resulting in mold and mildew. Other examples of where a penetrating sealer would be useful include natural stone (like limestone or sandstone) that is:
- In your patio
- Around your pool deck
- On brick walls
- On vertical surfaces like outdoor showers or artificial waterfalls.
Anywhere it can get damp, and you need to prevent moisture getting into the surface, consider using CoverSeal Pen50.
Stop The Damage From “Freeze-Thaw” Attack
Freeze-Thaw can be defined as the repeated process of:
- Water seeping into pores and cracks of a surface
- Freezing temps cause ice formation, which expands to cause further cracking
- The ice thaws, leaving behind dust and increasingly larger pores and cracks.
If you see signs of this on concrete or pavers, consider using something like Pen50 to protect against “freeze-thaw” attack. It easily repels moisture from getting into the surface.
Pen50 Preserves The Surface’s Natural Look
Customers love that they can use CoverSeal Pen50, without it changing the appearance of their surfaces. It does not darken the surface. It won’t give it a sheen. It’ll just keep that natural look.
Why Is CoverSeal Pen50 Better Than Store-Bought Sealers?
CoverSeal Pen 50 is a very versatile penetrating sealer, and it’s unique formulation gives it 2 distinct advantages over the competition.
1 – It contains a higher “active solids” content than competing brands.
This means that it provides much higher repellancy to moisture or other contaminants. It also means that surfaces treated with it will be protected for a much longer period of time, compared to those sealed with and “off-the-shelf” brand.
2 – It works on multiple surface types.
The silane-siloxane blend that CoverTec formulated for Pen50 works very well on:
- Concrete
- Natural stone
- Clay
- Brick.
Most competing products are formulated to work on a single surface type. Basically, if you use a product from a hardware store, you will lose repellancy faster, and you’ll have to re-apply that product more often.
