This Product is not VOC Compliant in California

SuperSeal Matte will darken the substrate like a “wet look” put has an additive to reduce the shine.
SuperSeal Matte can be used for Stamped Concrete, Stamped Cement, Decorative Cement, Bricks, Acid Stained Cement, Concrete Stains, and Exposed Aggregate.
Brick Paver Sealer Matte
SuperSeal Matte can be sprayed on with the Chapin 1949 Concrete Sprayer or applied with a 1/2″ roller cover. You cannot use a plastic “inexpensive” sprayer.
SuperSeal Matte will help sand erosion reducing the amount of weeds.
One coat is recommended. Coverage is about 100 feet per gallon or 500 feet per five gallon.
One coat will result in a satin sheen depending on porosity of brick.
I have repainted concrete statues that I want to seal, but don’t want a high gloss shine. I was thinking about using the matte finish. Is that the correct one?
Sorry but you cannot apply a sealer over paint.
Can this sealer be tinted?
It cannot.
I have stamped concrete driveway and will be sealing it with your Matte solvent based sealer. There are some cracks, which I want to fill with a colored elastomeric caulk sealer. I live in FL. Would I fill the cracks before or after I seal the driveway? What type of caulk works best with your sealers?
Thank you,
Karin
Sorry, but we have no idea as to which caulk brands to use on this. We would assume that you would caulk first before sealing but that is a question for the caulk manufacturer as to what they would suggest.
I have a multi colored brick driveway 70′ x 20′ and I am considering using SuperSeal Matte or Supreme Shield. Please confirm number of gallons you would recommend for each (2 coats).
Thanks,
Ralph
About 15 gallons for both. Matte is only 1 coat. SB-600 is two coats.
I have brick walls in my basement that I’d like to seal with this product to stop the dusting and flaking of the bricks. This the correct product?
A sealer cannot prevent flaking of the brick. That is a brick structural issue.
Maybe I need to clarify – looking for a product that when you rub your hand over the brick or accidentally brush up again the brick wall with your shirt, it doesn’t leave brick dust on your palm or shirt.
We would not suggest a solvent-based sealer to be used indoors. Try this instead: https://www.opwdecks.com/masonrysaver-decorative-concrete-sealer-1-gallon.htm
Hi, I have an acid/sand finish decorative integral color tan/beige colored concrete with a sand finish. I used Dayton Top Cast #5 retardant for the finish level. I am looking for the best sealer product for a matte/semi-gloss finish. (I am not looking for a high-gloss/shiny or a natural finish, but a finish in the middle). I have approx 275 SF of poured concrete “steppers” to seal. What would be the best product for this desired finish and what is the best application (roll/spray/brush)? Thank you.
Super Seal Matte. You can roll it on.
Thank you very much.
Before and after
Supreme Shield SB-600 or SuperSeal Matte?
Looking to seal my new concrete paver patio. Wet look is fine, not concerned about the gloss. Don’t want anything that gets slippery when wet. Joints are filled with polymeric sand. The patio faces south. I live in WI so get extreme cold & heat. Will be using a roller – what type of roller is best.
Either will work, just depends on if you want less shine. Any roller will work as long as it can handle solvent based sealers. 1/2″ to 5/8″ nap.
Am divided between SB-600 or Supreme Seal Matte or /Surebond SB-6000; Is there a place where they are compared with pictures?
There is not and the final appearance will vary based on the surface you are applying to and the porosity of the said surface.
I purchased the supreme seal 25, matte. what is the best solvent to thin this product?
It is not designed to be thinned. To clean it, use Xylene.
SB6000 vs Super Seal M I’m in Ohio and I want a non slick concrete sealer with a wet look around my pool
SuperSeal-M does not have a wet look.
Which sealer should I use on my pool pavers? Want something that is not slippery but enhances the paver.
Try the SB-600: https://www.opwdecks.com/wet-look-no-gloss.htm
Hello I used the Super Seal30 Gloss about 4 years ago on my pavers. I applied one coat. The question is do I have to remove the old sealer? Cause I want to use the Super Seal Matt to darken my pavers. Thanks.
No you do not need to remove it.
Existing previously unsealed pavers are 13+ years old. Despite repeated pressure washing some dirt appears to be “baked in”. Will the “Matte” product darken the surface to help hide the dirt ? If not, what is recommended for use in FL ?
Does it look good when wet with water? If so, then using the SuperSeal Matte will make it look even like a wet look.
Thanx for the quick reply. I’m very interested in “substrate darkening” effect stated in product specs. Too much darkening will result in wrath of HOA inspector. Too little darkening may not hide “baked in” dirt and/or oil spots that pressure washing failed to remove.

Hello again: I’M REALLY CONFUSED. It appears that the SuperSeal Matte MAY (repeat MAY) be the proper choice IF THE COLORATION IS CORRECT. But your latest recommendation appears to be Supreme Shield SB-600. Plz explain. Thanx.
The wet look is the same between the Matte and SB-600. No gloss though with the SB-600 compared to a Matte shine. There are not different levels of wet look. It either enhances like a wet look or it does not.
STILL VERY CONFUSED. The picture on your web page for “Super Seal Matte” (price = $170) is for “SUPREME SEAL 25/MATTE” (unknown price) NOT Super Seal Matte. Plz explain. Thanx.
It’s the same thing.
Hello,
I have a colored stamped concrete patio that needs to be re-sealed. I think it was re-sealed in the past by the previous owners but I am not sure. Can I put this product down after power washing the patio? I have a few pictures as well.
Yes, you can use a sealer on this.
How long will it take to get (3) 5 gallon buckets shipped to me? Naples, FL. I have a customer that would like the job done before 12/23, and I would like to get it done by end of next week if possible.
About 3-4 business days for delivery.
When I spray with Chapman i get a little puddle in the grove roller won’t get to. What’s the best brush to use?
Any brush should work.
I completed my brick paver patio a few days ago and would like to use Super Seal Matte. I read elsewhere that I should wait a year to seal. This seems like along time, and I would be afraid to use the patio due to possibility of staining prior to sealing. Do I really have to wait this long?
No, you can seal now as long as there is not any efflorescence.
So what’s efflorescence?
Efflorescence is a crystalline deposit of salts that can form when water is present in or on brick, concrete, stone, stucco or other building surfaces. It has a white or greyish tint and consists of salt deposits that remain on the surface after water evaporates. In addition, efflorescence can appear as a powdery substance on floors and walls and requires special care to treat.
We applied June, 2016. Is there any preprep involved to reapply to Tremron pavers? We live in Florida and have been tremendously satisfied to include two floods as a result of hurricanes. Thank you!
Just make sure the pavers are clean and dry.
I’m want to redo my stamped concrete sidewalk. I’m not sure what it was sealed with if at all. When I put water on it, it soaks in so I’m assuming that if it was sealed (4-5 years ago) it has worn away. I’d like to use the SuperSeal Matte. Should I worry or test if any other sealer is still present? How would I do that?
Post a picture.
picture included of sidewalk with water on it
You are good to go ahead and seal. just pressure with water for prep and let dry for a couple of days before sealing.
Can this be applied over the top of Eagle natural water based sealer?
No, probably not as this is solvent based and that is water-based.
[quote name=”stitus5″]Do I still need to clean/etch newer (2-3 months old) concrete if it has never been sealed?[/quote]
Just pressure wash to remove any dirt should be good.

After full cure, it should be okay, but when raining, it could be an issue. We also offer an additive for traction if needed:

The Chapin model 1949 or 1970 will work with this sealer for application.
Hi, Will this Chapin sprayer work with the super seal matte?Chapin 3-1/2-gallon industrial viton concrete open head sprayer sprays 1/2 gallon per minute. Thank You, Dale
Most use solvent based for Florida. The SuperSeal Matte will do what you are looking for as long as you apply it correctly and saturate the sand as well with the sealer.
I have been doing research on sealers to apply to new pavers being installed around by pool deck in Florida. The SuperSeal product has gotten good reviews but I want a product that has great UV protection, provides a great wet look, will stabilize the sand joints and will inhibit mildew and vegetation growth. Will the SuperSeal Matte product give me these features or is there another product you recommend? Does it matter if the product is water or solvent based since I live in Florida? I thank you in advance for any help with this matter as this is a big investment to my home and I just want to make sure I use the best product out there.
The Chapin sprayer that I purchased from you has a bad spray nozzle. I need the smaller nozzle replaced. The twenty gallons of SS 25 Matte had to be rolled on. The nozzle doesn’t spray an even pattern. It floods badly from one side. The larger nozzle is too big for my application. I am ordering another 10 gallons and would like to spray it on. Please send me a replacement nozzle. Thank you — Vincent
Hard to say without knowing what the other sealer was.
The wrong sealer was applied to my pavers , can they add the right mat sealer and will it still achieve the wet look that I’m desire.
Thnk you
I would not now but rather apply a light coat in 6-12 months.
Thanks for the reply. I applied one coat…it went on at about 200 sq feet per gallon. Not sure if the pavers were not very porous, but I couldn’t have applied it any thicker without leaving puddles and lap marks with the roller. Today it is dry and water is beading up…seems like it’s ok. DId I put it on too thin? Should a go ahead and put on a second coat since it didn’t go on as heavy as recommended? Thanks!
Mike, best to apply one coat at about 100 sq. feet per gallon. Too much sealer at once may create issues. Store 100% closed in a climate controlled place.
2 questions.
Can 2 coats be applied to paver stones? What effect will a second coat have?
If there is sealer left over, can it be stored? How long will it last?
Thanks!
Mike
I never used two coats as its not necessary but i store the left ocer in the can it came in.
Xylene will help fix this. Just spray on with a pump sprayer.
I applied Superseal on my pavers and it rained the next day turning sections white. How do I use Xylene to correct this?
Lacquer thinner or xylene will clean. Make sure you are using a metal heavy duty sprayer as this sealer will not spray through a plastic cheap sprayer. Coverage is 500 sq. feet per 5 gallon pail for pavers. You would need 5 pails.
What product do you recomend for cleaning pump sprayer after use and cleanup in general? I have 2500 sqr ft to seal. 4 containers should be ok? Thank you.
You can apply over top of it. Normally is done every couple of years.
i applied SuperSeal Matte last summer but it now looks like it is wearing off. Do I have to seal every year? Can i reapply over what i put on last year?
I have just installed a new paver stone driveway. The contractor advised sealing the driveway (IPS pavers, I think) to prevent “pitting” and preserve the color. The driveway is about 430 square feet. What would be the best product? I want a matte finish, but a color like the stone when it is wet.
Thanks very much!
This can be used for pavers around a pool. Slipperiness varies greatly on how many coats there are. 1 coat is typically not slippery after full cure of 2-3 weeks.
We are interested in using this product on uniloc pavers that surround an outdoor inground swimming pool. What product do you recommend for that use? What is the slip coefficient?
The description for the Matte does not say no shine. It says a lower luster or satin sheen. It does have some gloss but the least amount of all the wet look sealers.
It penetrates and films a little on the surfaces but not 100% film forming.
SuperSeal Matte says that it has a wet look and no shine but in the product parmeters that it is “Wet Look and Gloss”.
Also does this product penetrate the paver?
Sorry but none of the sealers we sell are compliant for the 4 counties surrounding LA. Outside of those 4 counties I would suggest the SuperSeal VOC ([url]http://www.opwdecks.com/voc-compliant.htm[/url])
In orange county
Where in California do you live? Not all of our sealers are compliant for the VOC restrictions in Cali.
