Thread: Adease floor sealer

The tin I have is Adeze Quickseal.

The name & address on the tin is Parbury Technologies, 7 Lucca Rd. Wyong NSW 2259. Ph. 02 43505000.
There is a Tech Hotline at 1800 817 779

After that, it may as well be made by Cornel Sanders. (IE 11 secret herbs & spices. )
It says it contains 60% Liquid Hydrocarbons.
In the notes there is a warning that says "All solvent-based polyurethanes can contribute to the yellowing of certain types of waterbased house paints blah-blah-blah"
I guess that eludes to this being a solvent-based polyurethane.

Good stuff Cliff , thanks very much . The polyurethane would explain the difference (to a fair degree) between quickseal and the stuff I have - mine say's liquid hydrocarbons with the active ingredient being TCMBT ( no idea what that is , does anyone else ? ).

By the way Cliff , is Quickseal what you meant when you said Floorseal in the other threads ? . I did see a Floorseal in Bunnies but it was Feast Watson or Cabbots and sounded a little different to the stuff you've mentioned .

The guy who told me about it said Floorseal.
He said he thinned it by 50% with Adeze thinners.
When I found it at Bunnies, they only had Quickseal & thinners in stock.

Seems to work as advertised.

Use it in a well ventilated place.
IT STINKS.

ok Cliff thanks again for that , I might contact the company first to see if there is much difference or was he talking about the other brand floorseal ? sorry for the mass of questions !

Hi

FYI Orica bought most of the Parbury business 12 months ago, they also own Cabotts and Dulux, so expect to see a lot of rebranding of products in different liveries. i am not sure if the part of Parbury they bougt includes the sealer you mention, it does include the adhesive and filler section, though Parbury itself still market PU technology aone.

The cause of yellowing is often because the urethane is a unstable bond and can break down on exposure to UV radiation.

PU can come in both solvent and solvent free versions depending what type of application they are used in.
The 60% hydrocarbon is likely to be a xylene or closely related solvent, its one of the most commonly used solvents to dissolve PU in without being stupidly toxic.

TCMBT = (2-[thiocyanomethylthio] benzothiazole).

Don't know its properties...it sounds like something you'd take with you to a night club.

Interesting nightlife you have Martin ;-}

at the moment I'm testing a mixture of that and an oil based Poly-U !

Any knowledge of which brands of Poly use which different solvents ?
