Sealaqua - Water Based Polyurethane Floor Seal
Evans Sealaqua is a water-based polyurethane and acrylic floor seal for suitable internal wood and concrete surfaces. Supplied in a 5L container, it creates a protective coating with a silk-sheen finish, supporting planned floor installation and refurbishment work in commercial areas with medium levels of traffic.
The coating provides a durable barrier that makes a suitable floor easier to clean and maintain. Its low-odour formulation and relatively short interval between coats help with application planning, while the final finish gives a restrained sheen. Check the substrate, previous treatments and flooring manufacturer's requirements before choosing the sealing system.
Sealaqua is used undiluted and spread in thin, even coats with a seal applicator or clean, soft brush. The floor must first be clean, dry, wax-free and neutral. Thorough preparation is an essential part of the job, particularly where an existing floor has residues from earlier coatings or cleaning treatments.
Allow for the full drying and curing schedule when arranging access to the area. Recoating can take place after the first coat has dried, but light traffic and routine maintenance require longer waiting periods. Choose suitable application equipment from the mops and accessories range and compatible products from the floor cleaning range for the finished surface.

Directions for Use
Assess and prepare the floor
Read the label and safety data sheet and confirm that the floor and any existing treatment are suitable. Prepare a clean, dry, wax-free and neutral surface. Plan the working area and prevent access during application and drying, allowing sufficient time before the floor is needed again.
Apply the first coat without dilution
Use Sealaqua undiluted. Apply a thin, even layer with a suitable seal applicator or clean, soft brush. Work methodically to maintain an even coating and take care to avoid splashing while pouring. Follow the product instructions and the site's handling procedures.
Dry and apply further coats
Allow approximately one to two hours for the first coat to dry before applying the second. Porous floors may need additional coats. Sanding between coats is not essential, although Evans advises that light abrasion with a medium-grade floor pad can help key the surface, especially before a third or fourth coat.
Allow curing before traffic and maintenance
After the final coat, wait at least 12 hours before light traffic and at least five days before starting a maintenance programme. Ventilation, temperature and humidity affect drying, so check actual conditions. Store the remaining seal in its tightly closed original container in a cool, ventilated place.

FAQs
Which floors is Sealaqua intended for?
Evans specifies internal wood and concrete surfaces in medium-traffic areas. Check the floor's condition, existing finish and care instructions before application; a general material description alone does not confirm suitability for every installation.
Should water be added before application?
No. The floor-sealing instructions specify use undiluted. Apply a thin, even coat with appropriate clean equipment rather than changing the formulation by adding water or another product.
How long should I wait between coats?
The stated drying interval is approximately one to two hours. Apply the next coat once the previous layer is dry, allowing for the effect of ventilation, temperature and humidity on the actual drying time.
When can people walk on the finished floor?
Allow a minimum of 12 hours after the final coat before light traffic. This waiting period is separate from the shorter interval between coats. Keep the area managed and follow the product instructions before reopening it.
When should routine cleaning begin?
Wait at least five days after the final coat before implementing a maintenance programme. Then use a cleaning method and products suitable for the sealed floor, following the relevant manufacturer guidance.
How much area does a 5L container cover?
Evans gives approximately 30–40m² for two coats from 5L. Porous floors may need extra coats, so estimate the supply from the substrate and complete coating schedule rather than the floor area alone.
