How to use:
- ALWAYS TEST PRODUCT ON A SMALL AREA FIRST and allow a 24-hour cure time to check results.
- Surface must be clean, dry and free of residues.
- Generously apply INTENSIFIA™ using low-pressure hand sprayer, clean brush or lamb's wool applicator. Avoid contact with surrounding areas.
- Allow for a minimum of 30 minutes for product to penetrate the surface then thoroughly polish off any excess product residue with clean, dry, white cloths, towels or similar.
- Leave the product to cure for at least 60 minutes, then repeat steps 3 and 4. Total application rate is approximately one quart per 20-250 sq. ft (2-25 sqm) depending on surface absorption. A third coat may be required for premium stain protection on very porous surfaces.
- Avoid contact with moisture for a minimum of 8 hours after application. Full curing takes 4 weeks.
- Use an organic solvent for e.g. methylated spirits to clean equipment.
Notes: INTENSIFIA™ will not prevent etching from acidic liquids, or physical surface wear. The level of enhancement will vary dependent on the type of material being treated. It is advised to test on a sample piece before applying the product to your surface. Eventually, wear and tear and cleaning will affect the enhancement and sealing performance. Reapplication of the product will be needed. Once enhanced, the treated surface cannot be restored back to the original look.

Customer Reviews
Many sealer categories and brands out there but I'm glad I picked this one for my concrete counters. I used a counter-specfic concrete mix and later applied a portland slurry to fill in air holes and other defects. I had added quikrete liquid color to all mixes, but after complete curing and sanding/polishing it was typical concrete grey so I counted on this sealer to bring out the color and it did, like magic. Instructions were good. 1st application absorbed well, not much excess to wipe off. 2nd absorbed less, more excess to remove. I added a 3rd just to be sure and I don't think it was necessary. I think I wiped it all off. Satisfying process. 1qt was plenty for 50sf of counter. I still have some left.
It’s ease of use and it’s ability to richen the color without a shine/ sheen.
