Sealers
STAGE 1 – REMOVAL OF DEBRIS
HOW : Sweep debris off surface
PURPOSE : Ensures there is no debris in the sealer
HOW : Use The Titan Shield Gloss (for interior and exterior surfaces)
PURPOSE : Creates natural gloss finish for commercial floors and walls, kitchens, medical and industrial spaces
STAGE 2 – SEALER MIXING AND APPLICATION
HOW : Use airless sprayer with tip size 17 at 600 PSI. Position the airless sprayer gun at 18” away from the floor
PURPOSE : Smaller tip size and high pressure can cause a lot overspray. Allows product to lay down evenly on the surface
HOW : OPTIONAL: use magic trowel to spread the product or roll product on with a 1/2″ nap roller. Do not go back and forth
PURPOSE : Allows product to lay down evenly on the surface
HOW : Minimum of 3 coats is required to ensure 20 mils film thickness in total
PURPOSE : Ensures long lasting surface protection from industrial and commercial vehicle and foot traffic
STAGE 1 – REMOVAL OF DEBRIS
HOW : Sweep debris off surface and loose surface
PURPOSE : No debris in sealer
HOW : Use Natural Shield (water-based penetrating sealer)
PURPOSE : Creates flat finish:
1. Penetrating seal w/ chemical reaction
2. Waterproof
3. Moisture mitigation
STAGE 2 – SEALER APPLICATION
HOW : Apply the sealer with a 1/4” nap roller, HVLP sprayer, pump sprayer, or airless sprayer with tip size 17. Minimum of 3 coats are required to ensure maximum performance
PURPOSE : Ensures proper application. Does not allow to puddle, will create a white haze if puddled
HOW : Apply the first coat and DO NOT ALLOW THE SEALER TO DRY BEFORE APPLYING SECOND AND THIRD COATS. Do not allow to puddle
PURPOSE : Ensures penetration. If sealer dries before additional coats it may not bond properly
HOW : Repeat the application to a minimum of 3 coats. Additional coats may be required depending on the porosity of the surface (X-Bond requires, 3 coats only, other surfaces such as concrete or block may require additional coats)
PURPOSE : Avoids hazing – ensures penetration
VERTICAL SURFACES
HOW : Apply the sealer with a 1/4” nap roller, HVLP sprayer, or airless sprayer with tip size 15. Start application from bottom to top to avoid runs in the sealer. Avoid over-spraying. Minimum of 3 coats is required to ensure maximum performance.
PURPOSE : Ensures proper sealing application, avoids runs in the sealer
STAGE 1 – REMOVAL OF DEBRIS
HOW : Sweep debris off surface
PURPOSE : Ensures there is no debris in the sealer
HOW : Use SEMCO Sealer Matte(for interior and exterior surfaces)
PURPOSE : Creates natural matte finish for commercial floors and walls, kitchens, medical and industrial spaces
STAGE 2 – SEALER MIXING AND APPLICATION
HOW : Use airless sprayer with tip size 17 at 600 PSI. Position the airless sprayer gun at 18” away from the floor
PURPOSE : Smaller tip size and high pressure can cause a lot overspray. Allows product to lay down evenly on the surface
HOW : OPTIONAL: use magic trowel to spread the product or roll product on with a 1/2″ nap roller. Do not go back and forth
PURPOSE : Allows product to lay down evenly on the surface
HOW : Minimum of 2 coats is required to ensure 16 mils film thickness in total
PURPOSE : Ensures long lasting surface protection from industrial and commercial vehicle and foot traffic
X-Bond Microcement
We can apply X-Bond Microcement to virtually any existing hard surface, making it a versatile solution for both interior and exterior applications. Whether it’s floors, walls, countertops, or even outdoor patios, X-Bond Microcement adheres seamlessly to concrete, tile, stone, and other stable substrates. Its advanced bonding technology also allows for installation below grade, such as in basements or other subterranean environments, without compromising durability or aesthetic appeal.
Yes, X-Bond Microcement is fully waterproof, making it the ideal choice for areas exposed to constant moisture. Its seamless, non-porous surface prevents water penetration, ensuring long-lasting protection and easy maintenance. This advanced technology allows X-Bond Microcement to be safely and beautifully applied in wet rooms, steam rooms, bathrooms, and even swimming pools, where both performance and aesthetics are essential. The result is a smooth, elegant finish that combines durability with timeless design—perfect for creating luxurious, spa-like environments.
With X-Bond Microcement, you’ll enjoy a perfectly seamless surface that combines beauty, practicality, and craftsmanship. The absence of joints or grout lines not only creates a clean, contemporary look but also makes the surface incredibly easy to clean and maintain. Without grout, there’s nowhere for dirt, mold, or bacteria to collect—resulting in a more hygienic and low-maintenance environment. Each X-Bond Microcement surface is handcrafted by skilled artisans, giving every installation a distinctive character and one-of-a-kind finish. The result is a smooth, elegant surface that’s as unique as your space—designed to stand out while standing the test of time.
Compared to the traditional microtopping, X-Bond Microcement is a stone based polymer mix which bonds onto the existing surface on a molecular level instead of “normal adhesion”. The stone in the mix gives the entire surface more volume and hardness to it compared to being just fine cement which is prone to cracks.
Depending on your substrate, the minimum thickness of the X-Bond Microcement is 1/8″. The minimal thickness allows us to coat your existing surface without having to alter any heights of your doors while ensuring maximum durability.
X-Bond Microcement can be applied over any existing hard surface which makes a removal of your existing surface unnecessary.
Majority of our products are water-based and not harmful to the applicator and the environment. Our products are low in emissions and do not give off any odor once it has cured and additionally our products have been tested according to the strict European Standard for low emissions and to the US LEED point system.
Yes, X-Bond is suitable to be applied on new or existing stair cases as long as it is a solid surface.
