Protect and enhance your hardscape with GA-20, a premium solvent based sealer for concrete. Engineered for professionals and DIYers alike, this single-component, 20% solids concrete sealer solvent based formula delivers a durable, breathable film that resists water intrusion while allowing moisture vapor to escape. Whether you are sealing stamped concrete, overlays, broom-finished concrete, or masonry, GA-20 is the ultimate acrylic sealer for stamped concrete, providing a stunning, color-enhancing "wet look" finish that lasts.
GA-20 Features & Technical Specifications
When choosing a high gloss concrete sealant, precision matters. GA-20 is engineered to penetrate deep into the concrete capillary structure without suffocating the slab:

| Solvent-Based | 20% solids by weight acrylic formula |
| VOC | <236 g/L (Eco-compliant using exempt solvents) |
| Components | Single-component — no mixing required; ready to use |
| Finish | High-gloss, color-enhancing "wet look" |
| Breathability | Allows moisture vapor transmission to prevent blistering |
| Water-resistant | Seals out rain and surface moisture |
| Color | Supplied Clear (dries to a color-enhancing "wet look") |
| Shelf Life | 12 months in unopened, sealed containers |
| Packaging | 5-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums |
| Ideal For |
Exterior concrete, overlays, stamped concrete, and masonry surfaces. Note: Not recommended for submerged surfaces (inside pools). |
Cure Schedule (at 70°F)
| Tack Free (Dry to Touch) | 1–3 hours |
| Recoat Window | 3–5 hours |
| Light Foot Traffic | 3–5 hours |
| Full Cure (Heavy Traffic) | 2–3 days |
How to Apply GA-20 Solvent Based Sealer
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, grease, and existing sealers. Allow new concrete to cure for at least 28 days. Apply only when the surface temperature is between 60°F and 90°F, relative humidity is below 85%, and the substrate is at least 5°F above the dew point.
- Testing: Always apply a test area to confirm compatibility and final appearance.
- Mixing: Stir GA-20 thoroughly before use. Do not thin.
- Application: Apply using a high-quality woven shed-resistant roller (3/8" nap) or an acetone-resistant pump-up sprayer. Avoid pooling. Apply in two light, even coats rather than one heavy coat to prevent solvent entrapment (bubbling).
- Drying & Recoat: Allow the first coat to dry according to the cure schedule above. A second coat can be applied once the surface is tack-free and shows no solvent retention (typically 3–5 hours).
- Cleanup: Clean tools with Xylene or Xylol immediately after use.

Frequently Asked Questions About GA-20
Q: Can I apply GA-20 solvent-based sealer over a water-based sealer?
A: No. Applying a solvent-based sealer over a water-based product will cause the strong solvents to eat through the existing acrylic layer, leading to delamination, peeling, and a cloudy finish. Always strip the old water-based sealer first.
Q: How do I fix white spots or blushing on my sealed concrete?
A: White spots are usually caused by moisture trapped under the sealer film. You can fix this by applying a Xylene bath to temporarily "open" the acrylic film, release the trapped moisture, and allow the solvent-based acrylic sealer to re-level into a clear, high-gloss finish.
Q: Does GA-20 yellow over time?
A: No. GA-20 is engineered with a UV-resistant, non-yellowing formula, ensuring your decorative concrete retains its vibrant color even under direct sunlight.
