Description
CLEARCOAT 44
Penetrating Sealer for Porous Surfaces. Clear Protection That Lasts.
CLEARCOAT 44 is a coating designed to penetrate, seal, and protect porous substrates while delivering a tough, glossy, and chemically resistant finish. It absorbs into concrete, masonry, and similar surfaces to create a dense, fully adhered barrier that waterproofs, reduces dusting, and extends substrate life.
Suitable as a standalone clear gloss coat over concrete, masonry, wood, vinyl, and other approved materials, CLEARCOAT 44 also encapsulates broadcast aggregates to create durable, slip-resistant systems. Its UV-stable formulation resists yellowing and degradation while maintaining a clean, attractive appearance that is easy to maintain. The coating sets quickly, develops strength rapidly, and can also be used over bright metals to preserve their finish and prevent tarnishing.
Tested and validated through third-party verification, CLEARCOAT 44 meets and exceeds industry performance standards recognized by the Sealant, Waterproofing and Restoration Institute (SWR Institute).

CLEARCOAT 44 Application Guideline
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, loose debris, oil, grease, or any contaminants that may interfere with proper adhesion.
Do not apply if substrate or ambient temperatures are expected to drop below 35°F (2°C) within 4 hours of application. The surface temperature must remain at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point during application and curing.
Application
- Do not apply CLEARCOAT 44 to wet, damp, or frozen surfaces. Application must be protected from precipitation for a minimum of 4 hours.
- Do not thin the product. Apply using a soft brush or airless spray equipment in a smooth, even technique.
- Take care to avoid creating foam or trapping air bubbles, which may result in pinholes or hazing.
Spray Application
Use a 30:1 airless pump with a 3/8″ hose and a 21 tip size.
Recommended Thickness
3 mils dry film thickness (DFT).
Drying Time
Approximately 1.5 hours at 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity.
Curing Time
Approximately 24 hours at 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity.
Clean-Up
Clean tools and equipment with xylene or toluene while the material is still wet.
Storage
Store in a dry area away from direct sunlight and protect from freezing. Keep containers tightly sealed.
Shelf life is up to 1 year from the date of manufacture when stored in original, unopened containers between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C).
Disposal
Dispose of waste in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Incineration is the preferred method of disposal.
Safety Information
Read the product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to use for important health and safety information.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
