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).
Key Benefits
- Penetrating Sealer for Porous Substrates – Absorbs into concrete and masonry to seal, densify, and waterproof surfaces.
- Clear, Protective Finish – Enhances substrate appearance while providing long-lasting protection.
- Durable & Flexible Performance – Forms a tough, abrasion-resistant coating that remains flexible, even at low temperatures.
- UV Stable – Will not discolor, yellow, or degrade under prolonged ultraviolet exposure.
- Chemical & Stain Resistance – Resists oils, fuels, salts, and a wide range of process chemicals.
- Dust Reduction – Minimizes surface dusting and improves overall surface integrity.
- Aggregate Compatibility – Encapsulates broadcast aggregates to create traction-enhanced surfaces.
- Traffic-Ready – Suitable for rubber-tire vehicular traffic as well as pedestrian use.
- Easy Application – Single-component system—no mixing required; can be applied by brush, roller, or spray.
- Low Maintenance – Scrubbable, easy-to-clean surface that maintains its clarity and finish.
- Long-Term Protection – Extends substrate service life and is backed by a 5-year warranty.

Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be dry, free of dirt, loose debris, oils, grease or any substance that could interfere with adhesion. Do not apply if the substrate or air temperature is predicted to drop below 35°F (2°C) within 4 hours after application. The application surface must remain at least 5°F (3°C) above dew point during the application and curing process.
Application
Do not apply Clearcoat 44 to wet, damp, or frozen surfaces. Do not apply if the area cannot be protected from precipitation for at least 4 hours after application. Do not thin the product. Clearcoat 44 may be applied by soft brush or airless sprayer in a smooth, even technique. Care should be taken to avoid creating foam or trapping air bubbles which may later result in pinholes or hazing.
Spray Application
Utilize a 30:1 airless pump, a 3/8″ hose and a 21 tip
Recommended Thickness
3 mils Dry Film Thickness (DFT)
Drying Time
Approximately 1.5 hours at 70°F (21°C) and 50% RH
Curing Time
Approximately 24 hours at 70°F (21°C) and 50% RH
Clean up
Equipment may be cleaned with xylene or toluene while the CLEARCOAT 44 is still wet
Storage
Store in a dry area and protect from direct sunlight and freezing. Keep container tightly sealed. Shelf life is 1 year from date of manufacture when stored in a factory sealed container between 45ºF (7ºC) and 90ºF (32ºC).
Disposal
Waste disposal must be in accordance with existing federal, state and local environmental control laws. Incineration is the preferred method of disposal.
Read the container label warning and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for important health and safety information prior to the use of this product.
