Product Description
PERMA-CRETE® Aqua-Pel™ Clear Water Repellant 4-6100C is a
waterborne, penetrating, non-film forming product ideal for use on
interior/exterior, above-ground, vertical and horizontal surfaces.
This product provides excellent water repellency to reduce cracking,
spalling, and chemical damage, mould and mildew growth and dirt
pick-up, thereby lengthening substrate life and reducing
maintenance cost. PERMA-CRETE® Aqua-Pel™ Clear Water
Repellant 4-6100C is ideal for use primarily on architectural
concrete, concrete block, and split face block, pavers, stucco,
porous and dense brick, claytile, exposed aggregate concrete,
sandstone, and slate.

General Surface Preparation
Surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean, sound, and free from
all paint and contamination including dirt, grease, oil, wax,
concrete curing agents and bond breakers, chalk,
efflorescence, mildew, rust, product fines, and dust. Remove all
paint, chalk, and efflorescence by wire brushing, scraping,
sanding, and/or pressure washing. Putty all nail holes and
caulk all cracks and open seams.
 Clean surfaces per ASTM Standard Practice D4258-83:
Standard Practice for Surface Cleaning Concrete for
Coating. Vacuum cleaning, water cleaning, detergent water
wash, power wash cleaning, steam cleaning, hand tool and
mechanical cleaning are acceptable cleaning methods.
 Remove efflorescence by pressure washing or cleaning
with dilute muriatic acid (following manufacturer's
instruction) or a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts
water. Rinse thoroughly and allow substrate to dry to
moisture content under 12%.
 Mildew must be removed by washing affected area with
solution 1 part chlorine bleach to 3 parts water. Before use,
be sure to read and follow instructions and warnings on
label and rinse well.
Precaution: Dry sanding, flame cutting and/or welding of dry
paint film will give rise to dust and/or hazardous fumes. Wet
sanding should be used wherever possible. If exposure cannot
be avoided by the provision of local exhaust ventilation, suitable
respiratory protective equipment should be used.

BRICK: New brick and mortar should cure for at least 30
days and preferably 90 days prior to priming and painting.
The pH of the substrate must be less than 10. Sealing
glazed brick is not recommended.
CONCRETE and MASONRY: New concrete should cure
for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to sealing
and painting. The pH of the substrate must be less than
10 before sealing.
CONCRETE/MASONRY BLOCK: Mortar should cure for
at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to sealing.
The pH of the substrate must be less than 10.
Application
Stir or shake thoroughly before use and occasionally during
application. PERMA-CRETE® Aqua-Pel™ Clear Water
Repellent 4-6100C must be blended with clean water to
achieve the desired concentration before application.
Two light coats of the solution should be applied using a
"wet-on-wet" procedure to ensure complete coverage. Can be
applied by brushing, spraying or dipping. To achieve best
results for vertical application, start at the bottom of the wall
and work in left/right - right/left and upward. Maximum
repellency is realized in 72 hours, depending on curing
conditions. Beading generally improves over time. Note:
Cover and/or protect areas from application and overspray
where product is not desired.
Application Equipment: Apply by airless sprayer,
conventional sprayer, conventional garden sprayer or high
quality brush. Recommended dilutions and approximate
coverage rates are shown in the table. For most
applications, a dilution ratio of 1:9 (1 part 4-6100C to 9
parts water) is recommended and will provide good
performance depending on the absorbency of the substrate.
Dilution and coverage ratios have been established to US
Federal Specification SS-W-110C performance requirements.
Dilutions of less than 1:9 may not be paintable. Allow 30
days prior to application of additional coatings (see
Limitations of Use).
Permissible temperatures during application:
Material:
50 to 100ºF
4 to 38ºC
Ambient:
50 to 100ºF
4 to 38ºC
Substrate:
50 to 100ºF
4 to 38ºC
Limitations of Use
PERMA-CRETE® Aqua-Pel™ Clear Water Repellent 4-6100C
is not recommended for below ground applications where
hydrostatic pressure can be significant. All previous sealers and
paint must be removed from the substrate surface in order for the
product to penetrate and react to provide water repellency. Apply
only when air and surface temperatures are above 50°F (4°C)
and surface temperature is at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew
point. Air and surface temperatures must remain above 50°F
(4°C) for the next 24 hours. Avoid exterior application late in the
day when dew and condensation are likely to form or when rain
or snow is expected. Do not overbuild product; two light coats
"wet-on-wet" should be applied, avoiding drips and runs.

container after each use. This product has a shelf life of 12
months provided the undiluted 4-6100C is stored in a tightly
closed container and protected from sunlight. While this product
provides a mildew resistant coating, growth may still occur if the
substrate is not properly prepared prior to painting and/or if the
substrate is consistently exposed to conditions conducive to
mould, mildew, and algae. Examples of these conditions include,
but are not limited to, under eaves, behind shrubbery and trees,
and in areas that are consistently damp with little to no direct
sunlight.
