Use Azcoseal Clear ‘Wet Look’ Acrylic Sealer and Primer for: Waterproofing, priming, and sealing porous surfaces with a tough, attractive semi-gloss finish
Azcoseal is a premium clear acrylic sealer and primer designed for deep penetration into porous substrates like concrete, masonry, pavers, and FC sheeting. It cures to form a tough, resilient, semi-gloss (wet-look) finish that enhances appearance while providing a long-lasting weatherproof barrier. Ideal for use as a stand-alone sealer or primer under Duram waterproofing membranes and coatings, Azcoseal is UV-resistant, quick-drying, and suitable for encapsulating friable surfaces like asbestos. Its cross-linking technology ensures excellent bonding, and its low-modulus formula ensures thorough substrate penetration. Perfect for Australian trades working with concrete, masonry, or decorative surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Azcoseal Clear ‘Wet Look’ Acrylic Sealer and Primer
Q: What’s the best way to apply Azcoseal?
A: Azcoseal should be applied using a brush, roller, or spray in 2 or more coats. Ensure each coat is dry before applying the next. For porous surfaces, more coats may be required.
Q: How long does it take to cure?
A: Azcoseal is touch dry in 1–2 hours and fully cured within 24 hours under typical Australian conditions (25°C and 50% RH).
Q: Can I use Azcoseal as a primer for waterproofing membranes?
A: Yes, Azcoseal is an excellent primer for water-based and polyurethane waterproofing membranes, including Duram’s Multithane and Azcothane ranges.
Q: What surfaces are not suitable for Azcoseal?
A: Avoid using Azcoseal on metal, glazed tiles, particle/chip board, or saturated surfaces. Duram Primeseal MC is better suited for those applications.
