Trojan
Masonry Sealer
(200 sq.ft./gal.)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Trojan Masonry and
Concrete Sealer
is a penetrating water dispersed polyester polymer and
polyurethane that when dry forms a
monolithic barrier that fills the voids and completely solidifies the
surface and interior
particles of the concrete matrix thereby reducing moisture transmission.
TYPICAL USES:
For industrial, commercial and residential use on concrete, brick, stucco
and all masonry. For homes, sidewalks, driveways, basements, buildings,
roads, tunnels, bridge decks, parking lot structures, hydroelectric dams,
roof systems, subways and reservoirs. Use inside or outside on new or
old masonry.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES: Remarkably superior to
other sealers because it seals and protects from within. As Trojan does
not contain any solvents, it is non-toxic, non-flammable, non-caustic
and has low VOC. Trojan penetrates into the concrete or masonry 2 - 4
inches and provides a paintable surface. Authorized by
USDA for use in federally inspected meat and poultry farms. Ten Year
Waterproofing Warranty.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATIONS: Trojan Masonry Sealer provides LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credits toward LEED
Certification for Green Building projects by promoting Indoor
Environmental Quality (IEQ).

QUALITY
CONTROL TESTS: Trojan Masonry Sealer has passed
nine independently performed quality tests per the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM), Australian Standard (AS) and NCHRP
specifications. These tests
include:
ASTM 413
- Water Absorption of Chemical Resistant
Concrete/Masonry .Tested the effectiveness of Trojan Masonry Sealer
in resisting water penetration. Trojan was applied in 1994 on one of Coca
Cola Companys major exposed concrete roof-top parking structures.
In 1997, three years after application, Coca Cola hired
independent laboratory, H.C. Nutting Company to perform the ASTM 413 test.
Test results revealed an excellent performance in the waterproofing
ability of Trojan as it proved that there was no penetration of water from
the core samples of the concrete deck.
ASTM C140 - Masonry
Absorption Test for Light Weight Block.
Trojan Masonry Sealer was applied to light weight block and weighed
in its dry state. The block was then placed in water for 2 days. Afterwards
it was weighed again while still wet. The 2-day test results are as follows:
Sample No. Dry Weight Wet
Weight Percentage Absorption
1 28.56
LBS. 28.72 LBS. 0.56%
2 28.68
LBS. 28.78 LBS. 0.35%
ASTM requires that water absorption cannot exceed 1%
after 2 days of immersion. The results prove that Trojan Masonry Sealer far
surpassed these requirements.
ASTM 123D - Penetration
Test for Nuclear Power Plant, 8000 psi Concrete Pour. This test was
performed by Pittsburgh, Plate and Glass subsidiary, Keeler & Long to
determine the penetration of Trojan Masonry Sealer on a Nuclear Plant slab
that was 8000 psi pour.
Six months after Trojan was applied, the ASTM-123D test
was performed by taking two 2 core samples. After diamond sawing the cores
in half, the test revealed that the Trojan penetrated 2 inches. As the
normal pore for a concrete slab is 3000 to 4000 psi in density, Trojan can
easily penetrate 2 to 4 inches on regular concrete.
Blue Dye Test - Blue
Dye Absorption Test. Independent laboratory, H.C. Nutting Company
conducted a Blue Dye Test for the Department of Public Works of Cincinnati,
Ohio at the Garfield Garage parking deck. Trojan was applied to the concrete
surface along with several other sealers. Afterwards, two 1 diameter cores
approximately 2 long were extracted from each test site of the concrete
parking deck. The objective of the test was to determine to what extent the
blue dye was absorbed if any. Trojan was top rated as excellent at not
allowing the blue dye to penetrate the concrete surface.
ASTM 642-82 - Masonry
Absorption Test for Brick. Independent laboratory, H.C. Nutting
Company coated a brick with Trojan Masonry Sealer and then submerged the
test brick in water for 48 hours. The objective of the test was to determine
water absorption of the brick by establishing its weight when dry before
being submerged and again weighing the test brick immediately after its 48
hour water submersion. The results showed no weight increase of the brick
after it was taken out of the water, thus proving that Trojan provided total
waterproofing of the brick by not allowing water to be absorbed.
ASTM C672 - Scaling
Resistance. Independent laboratory, H.C. Nutting Company completed
the scaling resistance test on treated concrete after applying Trojan
Masonry Sealer. Test results showed that there was no scaling after 100
weathering cycles (via mechanical brush) on the concrete that was sealed
with Trojan as opposed to severe scaling on untreated samples of the
concrete.
AS 1012.21-1999 - "Water
Absorption of Hardened Concrete". Determination of water absorption
and apparent volume of permeable voids in hardened concrete. Trojan Masonry
Sealer passed this standard by not allowing water absorption.
NCHRP 244 Cube Test
Accelerated
Weathering Test. Trojan Masonry Sealer surpassed the standard of not
exceeding 25% of untreated cube absorbed chloride.
NCHRP 244 Southern Exposure
Chloride
Ion Penetration Test. Trojan Masonry Sealer did not allow chloride
penetration and thus passed absorbed chloride requirements not to exceed 10%
of untreated concrete.
Ecological Data (96HLC-50) -
Ecological testing of Trojan resins using test 96HLC-50
included:
1. Acute Aquatic Effects Data
performed to show effects of Trojan resin on fathead minnows, daphid,
ramshorn snail and flatworm after a two week period. The Trojan resin had no
effect on the test subjects, thus showing that Trojan Masonry Sealer and
Trojan Beta Z Wood Sealer do not adversely harm aquatic life.
2. Seven Day Plant Germination Effects - a seven
day germination test included the saturation of lettuce, radishes, rye grass
with Trojan Masonry Sealer. Results proved that Trojan did not have any
effect on germination, thus showing that Trojan does not harm plants, grass,
or shrubs.
Summary:
Data for this material has been used to estimate its environmental impact.
It has the following properties: A low biochemical oxygen demand and little
potential to cause oxygen depletion in aqueous systems, a low potential to
affect aquatic organisms, a low potential to affect the germination and
orderly growth of some plants.
