About This Product

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.

Questions & Answers

I have pavers over a concrete pool deck. Will blushing be an issue because of trapped moisture? The description says breathable but I need to hear from people with actual experience in this application.

      Excellent product and highly recommend it
      I had a company remodel the front yard with drought tolerant plants and pavers at the front steps and on side of driveway as well. I used this product and everything came out looking great. The pavers have a really good shine to them and I think the look is going to last for years.

            Best stuff I’ve ever used
            This was an old faded stamped concrete deck now it has the life back in it with the original color and a little bit of a glow or “wet look “. When I first put down it looks a little shiny but within a week it tones down and looks marvelous. I have used this product before and had success also. For Spanish red tile I have used The 500 which goes down very easy and does a great job enhancing and waterproofing. To apply the material I use a roller it went very fast and was easy to apply. I definitely recommend this product.

              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.
