BOYSEN®® Acrytex™
BOYSEN®® Acrytex™ is an acrylic, solvent-based coating that forms a seamless, non-porous, watertight film that repels water and prevents seepage. It is noted for its excellent adhesion and long-term durability. It creates a very tight film, serving as a moisture sealant for concrete and a stain inhibitor for wood.

SURFACE PREPARATION
For Concrete
Allow new concrete to dry for 14-28 days under normal weather conditions before painting. Surface to be painted should be clean and dry, free from oil, grease, dust, dirt, contaminants, and all loose grit and mortar.
For Wooden Surfaces
Surface to be painted should be clean and dry, free from dust, dirt, and other foreign matter. Hammer all nails deep enough to apply putty. Sand rough wood until smooth and then dust off before painting.
Repainting
Any existing paint that is not Acrytex should be completely removed. Scrape off all loose, scaling, flaking, and peeling paint manually or by using BOYSEN®® Paint and Varnish Remover B‑141, as necessary. Wash surfaces clean and completely remove chemical residue. Let it dry.
For repainting concrete, use BOYSEN®® Chalk Blocker™ B‑7304 as surface conditioner if surface is chalky. In case of mildew infestation, treat with a bleach solution (1:3, laundry bleach to water, respectively) by swabbing or brushing. To ensure proper treatment, let stand for 24 hours before cleaning off residue. Let dry.
