S-1300 Pene-Krete
Super-Krete Pene-Krete is a non-hazardous, spray-applied, penetrating sealer for use on all Portland cement-based substrates such
as concrete and masonry. Pene-Krete is a proprietary, silicate-based compound that reacts with the chemical composition of common
cement to create an internal crystalline shield within the pores of the substrate. The combination of clean, dense concrete along with
reduced water and vapor transmissions provide the perfect surface to receive coatings. This protective shield increases the strength of
new and existing concrete and other masonry substrates. This penetrating sealer will reduce moisture vapor emissions without leaving a
surface residue. Pene-Krete is a required product for use with all Super-Krete systems over cementitious substrates.

Pene-Krete reduces moisture emissions in many applications, typically within standards necessary to apply flooring goods and
coatings over cementitious substrates. Pene-Krete is recommended for use where moisture is present in substrates such as
retaining walls, basement walls and floors, stucco and other cement-based substrates. Pene-Krete is also recommended for use
prior to the installation of any coating over cementitious substrates. Pene-Krete is designed to react with common Portland cement
and will not work on other materials such as brick, stone, metal or wood. Conducting a moisture vapor test before and after PeneKrete treatment is always recommended.

S-1300 Pene-Krete
Surfaces that are to be repaired or coated must be structurally sound. Surface damage such as surface deterioration, cracks and spalls
can typically be repaired. However, structural integrity is critical to the overall success of any coating or overlay.
Use Pene-Krete full strength, as is (DO NOT DILUTE). Thoroughly agitate product or stir with a drill and Jiffy mixer tool. Strain
material and pour into sprayer unit.
APPLICATION
Pene-Krete is to be used on porous concrete substrates to ensure penetration. Surface to be treated must be porous and profiled. If
surface porosity is uncertain, perform a water-surface test (pour a small quantity of water on the surface that is to be treated; if the
water beads on the surface, it is not sufficiently porous and must be profiled further. If the surface absorbs the water, it will also likely
absorb Pene-Krete). Ensure that the entire surface has adequate porosity.
Using a hand-help sprayer (do not pour Pene-Krete directly onto the surface use a sprayer only), completely saturate the surface
with Pene-Krete but do not allow to puddle. Evenly spread Pene-Krete into the surface with a soft bristled broom. Continue to
saturate any areas that appear to be drying too quickly. Note: If the surface becomes slippery after 30 minutes, this means the
surface is either sufficiently saturated or the surface did not have sufficient porosity for the Pene-Krete product to penetrate.
Immediately remove any slippery residue by rinsing with clean water and scrubbing with a stiff bristled broom. Pene-Krete must not
be allowed to puddle on the surface.
Apply undiluted Pene-Krete onto concrete surface with a low-pressure sprayer following final finishing operations and after all
surfacewater has evaporated and the concrete surface has hardened. To ensure proper performance, apply Pene-Krete to the entire
surface area as soon as the surface can bear foot traffic. Do not allow Pene-Krete to puddle on surface.
1. Examine and profile surface per S-1 Specification guidelines.

2. Clean concrete surface with Super-Krete Heavy Duty Degreaser, thoroughly rinse with clean water and allow surface to dry.
3. Apply Pene-Krete at a rate of 300 square feet per gallon by saturating surface using a low-pressure sprayer.
4. Immediately spread the material with a soft-bristled broom not allowing Pene-Krete to puddle. Any Pene-Krete left on the surface
will create an unwanted bond-breaker and will have to be removed. Ensure that no Pene-Krete is left on the surface. In areas
where Pene-Krete is being absorbed more readily, spray more Pene-Krete and work it into the surface with a broom.
5. Continue to spray and broom Pene-Krete in until the entire surface area to be treated has been saturated with Pene-Krete, and
ensure that Pene-Krete does not puddle on the surface.
6. Allow the treated surface to cure for 24 hours followed by pressure washing or high-pressure water-blasting for exterior surfaces
to remove any excess chemicals forced to the surface during the curing period
1. Follow procedures for concrete up to 4 thick.

2. Allow Pene-Krete to be absorbed by concrete for 1 hour and re-saturate the surface with water to ensure full penetration of PeneKrete into the concrete substrate.
3. Allow the treated surface to cure for 24 hours followed by pressure washing or high-pressure water-blasting for exterior surfaces
to remove any excess chemicals forced to the surface during the curing period

S-1300 Pene-Krete
Pene-Krete has been solving severe water and moisture problems within concrete since 1988 in every type of climate. Application of
Pene-Krete is required prior to installation of any Super-Krete coatings, paints, stains and sealers. Pene-Krete is an integral part of all
Super-Krete application systems over concrete.

*Coverage will vary, these are approximations only. Actual
coverage will vary due to substrate conditions, surface

porosity and ambient conditions.
Pene-Krete penetrates in approximately 24 hours, influenced

somewhat by temperature, humidity and job conditions. A
floor treated with Pene-Krete must be completely cure before
accepting any coatings. Allow 24 hours before proceeding
with application of coatings or sealers.
Pene-Krete will typically gel and force all excess chemicals to

the surface within a 24-hour period. However, if after 24
hours water or excess alkali appears on the surface, clean the
surface with clean water and saturate the surface again with
Pene-Krete. Although excess chemicals will be forced to the
surface within 24 hours, the substrate will not reach its full
increased strength for 28 days.
Clean tools and equipment promptly and flush sprayer with

clean water immediately after use.
