Concrete Cure and Seal CS 25 LV
GlobMarble Concrete Cure and Seal CS-25 LV is a professional-grade, 25% solids, low-VOC acrylic sealer designed to cure and seal freshly placed or stamped concrete — all in one step. Ideal for both contractors and DIYers, this easy-to-use sealer saves time by eliminating the need for separate curing and sealing products.
Unlike traditional acrylic sealers that require concrete to cure for 28 days, CS-25 LV can be applied just 1–2 days after the concrete has been poured and stamped. This is a major advantage, especially for decorative or stamped concrete projects where early protection and enhanced visual appeal are critical.
CS-25 LV forms a breathable, water-retentive film that improves curing and prevents surface issues like cracking, dusting, or spalling. Once cured, it delivers a durable, color-enhancing gloss finish that protects against moisture, salt, UV rays, and freeze/thaw cycles.
This 25% solids formula contains added UV absorbers and halo-amine light stabilizers to help prevent yellowing and degradation caused by sunlight exposure. It creates a clear, breathable, moisture-retentive film that enhances curing, increases surface hardness, and leaves a durable, color-rich glossy finish. Perfect for stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, pavers, and smooth-troweled surfaces.
Key Benefits:
- Apply just 1–2 days after stamped or broom-finished concrete is placed
- Eliminates the 28-day wait required for traditional sealers
- Perfect for stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, broom finishes, and smooth trowel slabs
- Enhances color and leaves a light gloss finish
- Dual-function formula: Cures and seals in one application
- Prevents premature drying, dusting, and cracking
- Resists water, salt, chemicals, UV, and freeze/thaw damage
- Complies with low-VOC standards (400 g/L)
- Easy to apply by sprayer or roller
- Fast drying — foot traffic in 4 hours, vehicles in 72 hours
- UV-stabilized, non-yellowing formula for long-term clarity
Why Use Cure and Seal on Stamped Concrete?
Stamped concrete is particularly vulnerable to surface damage and color fading if not protected early. CS-25 LV is widely used in the stamped concrete industry because it can be safely applied 1–2 days after stamping, helping lock in color hardeners or release agent tones while the concrete is still fresh. Traditional sealers can’t be applied until the concrete has fully cured for 28 days — by then, valuable color and surface quality can already be compromised.
Cure and Seal CS-25 LV works differently — it cures and seals in one step, protecting your surface immediately while giving it a finished look that lasts.
Surface Preparation
- Clean surface thoroughly with a pressure washer
- Ensure surface is completely dry before sealing (24 hours recommended)
- Etch smooth-troweled surfaces to improve adhesion
Application
Cure and Seal CS-25 LV should be applied with an acetone — resistant pump sprayer. Croll-rolling with shed resistant roller should be performed immediately to ensure even film thickens. Do not thin.
