surfaces. It is particularly suitable for stamped/imprinted and decorative floors.

• It can be applied on Ideal Sealer (solvent-based acrylic resin) without prior sanding.
• High yield
• Spray applied

Fields of Use
• Refreshes and renews the colour of old concrete surfaces
• Protects concrete surfaces from UV rays, abrasion and stains.
• Diluted with Ideal Sealer Medium, it gives the surface coloured glazes and shades.
• Can be used to change the colour of existing concrete horizontal surfaces.

Application
Preparation
The application must only take place on concrete surfaces that are completely dry and free
of, oil, grease, paints, waxes and any other product that can inhibit penetration and
adhesion to the surface including anti-evaporation membranes (CURING) that are not
compatible with Ideal Sealers

COLO-RÈ should never be applied in the event of rain or when rain is expected within 3
hours.

NEW CONCRETE SURFACES

It is sufficient to wash the surface very well and let it dry for 12-24 hours. It is
recommended to wait at least 10 days after casting the concrete slab.

OLD CONCRETE SURFACES

If the floor has previously been treated with Ideal Sealer, it must be washed with a mono
brush (buffer machine) with a PVC disc or with pressure washer and IDEAL STRONG.
In the presence of other types of resins / sealers, a light sandblasting (with bicarbonate) or
the use of EASY STRIP paint stripper is recommended.

 Data Sheet

Mix well before use.

COLO-RÈ can be applied in 1 or 2 coats with an airless pump. The second coat should be
applied when the first is dry, generally not earlier than 3 hours.
After colouring, apply a coat of Ideal Sealer Regular, always by spraying. Do not use a roller
as this could damage the coloured layer underneath.

COLO-RÈ can be applied undiluted with a covering effect to radically change the colour of
the slab or to cover existing stains

Normally COLO-RÈ is used diluted with Ideal Sealer Medium to revive the colour, create
new shades or give an antiqued effect to an old concrete floor.
For example:

INTENSE SHADES: 5 L COLO-RÈ + 2.5 L IDEAL SEALER MEDIUM

MEDIUM SHADES: 5 L COLO-RÈ + 5.0 L IDEAL SEALER MEDIUM
LIGHT SHADES: 5 L COLO-RÈ + 7.5 L IDEAL SEALER MEDIUM

It is also possible to mix the different colors together.
