Product Details

GHOSTSHIELD CRYLI-TEK 5505: This breathable, solvent-based acrylic sealer provides a high gloss, wet look finish that darkens concrete, pavers & natural stone while enhancing colors. This professional grade sealer is UV stable, non yellowing & self-crosslinking to outlast all rivals. THE LONGEST LASTING WET LOOK: The highest performing decorative sealer in the Cryli-Tek line - but it goes much deeper than that. The methyl methylate resins used in this formula have been independently tested and are more durable and last longer than other acrylic sealers on the market. Protects and enhances the look of exterior surfaces for up to 3 years and interior surfaces for up to 7 years. Treated substrates resist staining, surface deterioration and hot tire pickup while eliminating concrete dusting. SEALS CONCRETE & PAVERS: Easily applied with a solvent-rated roller or brush, the 5505 can be used on a variety of new and old, indoor and outdoor concrete, brick and masonry applications. Can be used on concrete previously treated with a solvent based acrylic without needing to remove it. A CLEAR HIGH GLOSS: A clear, high gloss, wet look finish makes this product unique; bringing life into dull concrete to brighten and keep it vibrant and colorful. This unrivaled formula will not yellow, fade, chip or delaminate and regular maintenance can keep concrete looking "wet" for years to come. Use with the Grip-Tek 250 for added traction and slip resistance.

Q:Can this be applied over your penetrating sealer on a stamped driveway? also stamped driveway has grooves and textures, so roller won't get into the deeper surface, can I use something like a deck broom to apply so the product gets pushed into grooves?
by|May 16, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  We appreciate your interest in Ghostshield. Siloxa-Tek 8500, 8505, 8510, and Lithi-Tek 9500, are designed to repel liquids at the surface level. As a result, we generally do not recommend using film-forming coatings like Cryli-Tek 5505 in conjunction with these sealers. However, it's worth noting that some of our penetrating sealers, such as Sila-Tek 3500, Lithi-Tek 4500, (and our entire Iso-Tek line), can be effectively used as a primer for top coatings. We've never used a deck broom to apply Cryli-Tek 5505 so it would be something you could test for suitability. For heavily textured surfaces, we usually recommend a thicker nap size. 3/4"to 1-1/4" deep nap is usually used on rough to extra rough surfaces. Using a deeper nap and coating a rough surface will require more material... so we suggest adjusting your expected coverage rate by 25%-35%.

    by|May 8, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Thanks for showing an interest in Ghostshield. The recommended application technique is airless sprayer, roller, or brush. A low pressure garden pump sprayer may not have adequate strength to disperse the material.

        Q:I have a cement basement floor that's poorly made with shallow pothole, cracks mixed in with areas with smooth finishes. What kinds of surface preparations are needed before applying this product?
        by|Feb 24, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Thanks for showing interest in Ghostshield. It is very difficult to know exactly what challenges exists with your floor without seeing and/or inspecting it. To get an accurate description, and to better assist you, we recommend calling 855-573-8383 to speak with one of our product specialists. They will ask you specific questions with the goal to ensure you're investing into the correct solution. In general, best practice is to prep the surfaces by using a cleaner to remove surface contamination. If the surface is smooth, we recommend chemical or mechanical scarification to achieve a CSP level 2. Fill in any cracks using a polyurea crack filler like Poly-Strong PS55. Once completely dry and clean, Cryli-Tek 5505 can be applied.

          You say your product can be applied over or on top of other sealer that stripping was not necessary. I wanted to use it as the final coat/cover because you “guaranteed” 3 years wear outside and double that if used indoors. See pictures below - I had to strip it off because of what it did to my pavers that had 4 coats of Lacquer sealer

            I used this to seal my stamped concrete patio. This sealant is easy use and spreads really well with a 3/8 nap roller. Really impressed with this as it brought my patio back to life

              I wasn't sure about this product but once I tested a small area, I was actually very happy with how it looked. I have stamped concrete that had some color in it when it was first installed but has faded over the years. This product brought back the richness of the color and made it glossy and yet not slippery at all. And also water proof so I hope it lasts for the season. Will definitely buy again and will be repeating this every year.

                Paver application
                Hello, I used the 5505 To seal my pavers. I had a large are (approximately 2200 sq ft.) I definitely recommend PPE especially when pouring as the product can splash up potentially in your eyes. End result is amazing ! I hope it will last a few years as other legal ants I have uses require an annual application. I took some before and aft photos to share the difference.

                  I used the CRYLI-TEL 5505 for a surface not indicated but it turned out great!
                  Ok. So I have a walkway from my driveway to my front door. It is about 10' x 25'. Get ready - it is Mexican or Saltillo tile! Moving right along, this walkway had about 20+ years of coatings over it. The coatings also had dirt trapped between some of the layers, had cracks in the coatings and had mold and mildew in certain areas. Additionally, I live in South Florida. What a nightmare! I had been thinking about restoring it for a couple of years. My wife and I bought our house in 2009 and it was bad when we bought it. Finally, this year I decided to tackle the job. First, I applied stripper, waited for it to work, and then started brushing it hard with a wire brush on the end of a broomstick. After I got as far as I could, I took a 2800 psi pressure cleaner to it. That was just the first go. I had to repeat this process 3 times (actually, in some areas 4 times). Once I had it down to the original surface, I waited two days for it to dry. Once dry, I scrubbed it with heavy detergent and pressure washed it again. Then I waited another 2 days for it to dry. Thankfully, I got two days without rain! Once it was dry, I swept it once. I read about a lot of sealants and other products and I knew the 5505 did not indicate it could be used on Mexican or Saltillo tile but I went ahead and coated it anyway! Let me tell you - it worked like a charm! The coating is durable and shinny! Now here's the crazy thing; after all the cleaning but before applying it, some of the tiles were very light in color. Some were yellow and some were mixed color. Now these types of tiles are not uniform in color but they did not look naturally dark enough. I figured that was the best I was going to get before coating. Unbelievably, for some reason the 5505 seemed to restore the tiles and darken some of the colors that were too light! I wish I shot some before pictures. The difference from when I started to what it looks like now is incredible!

                    Great product
                    Customer service is where it started to get me the right products for the job. The product then went down easy and looks great. The only negative I have is that the product spread more than I was told and I ended up with an extra gallon.

                            5505 review
                            First, I put this down on my new concrete pool pavers and it was somewhat difficult using the recommended 1/4 inch nap roller. It would not get into the gaps between the pavers, so I had to go back the next day with a brush to fill them in. I’m not sure if a thicker nap roller would have been a better choice considering the possibility of leaving puddles or over-covering the pavers. Second, this formula does NOT leave a high gloss finish. My pavers only darkened slightly with no gloss and not even a “wet” look. A second coat might “gloss” them up but I got the oil based 5505 blend to avoid that. I’ll re-coat them in two or three years, so I’ll see then. Otherwise, it seems like a quality sealer - and the fumes are really not that bad.
