What is PREMIUM POLYMER SEALER and why choose it
PREMIUM POLYMER SEALER from Alexseal is a non-abrasive, synthetic polymer sealer designed to protect polyurethane painted surfaces, especially in demanding marine environments. Formulated with UV absorbers, it helps shield paint from sun exposure, supports long-term gloss retention and improves the service life of Alexseal topcoat systems. When used regularly, it leaves a protective polymer film that seals the surface against harsh environmental influences and helps restore a radiant appearance.

- Maintenance of existing coatings: To renew gloss and reduce weather-related graying on previously painted polyurethane systems.
Application process (summary)
- Wash the surface with Alexseal Premium Wash Down Concentrate, rinse and wipe dry following the detergent instructions.
- Ensure the surface is clean and dust free. Do not apply on stained or uncleaned surfaces, as the sealer may trap dirt and cause matting or system failures.
- Shake PREMIUM POLYMER SEALER thoroughly before use.
- Apply using a 100 % cotton cloth on the prepared surface. For best results and protection, incorporate the sealer into the paint surface using a suitable mechanical device.
- Allow the product to dry to a haze. Do not allow it to dry for more than 6 hours before removal, as this can make it difficult to remove.
- Remove the haze with a clean 100 % cotton cloth or microfiber towel.
- Apply multiple coats as necessary, especially on areas exposed to heavy water run-off.
FAQ
1. How often should I apply Alexseal PREMIUM POLYMER SEALER?
It is recommended to apply the sealer every 3 to 4 months. Regular weekly washing with Alexseal Premium Wash Down Concentrate helps maintain the protective film and minimize sealer loss.
2. On which surfaces can this sealer be used?
PREMIUM POLYMER SEALER is intended for surfaces painted with polyurethane and is used in combination with Alexseal Topcoats, metallic basecoat/clearcoat systems and Alexseal H/S clearcoats.
3. Do I need to mix the product before use?
No mixing is required. The product is supplied ready to use; it only needs to be shaken well before application.
4. Can I apply the sealer on a dirty or stained surface?
No. The surface must be washed, rinsed and dried. Applying the sealer on uncleaned or stained surfaces can enclose dirt, cause loss of gloss, matting or system failures.
5. How is the haze removed after drying?
Once the sealer has dried to a haze (but within 6 hours), wipe it off with a clean 100 % cotton cloth or a microfiber towel.
6. Is more than one coat ever required?
Yes. Multiple coats may be needed, particularly on water run-off areas, to ensure adequate protection.
7. How should I store PREMIUM POLYMER SEALER?
Store the unopened container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, keep it tightly closed, and do not allow it to freeze. Under these conditions the shelf life is 24 months from production.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures
Engineering controls
- Provide adequate ventilation through local exhaust and general extraction to keep solvent vapour concentrations below applicable limits.
- If ventilation is insufficient to control aerosols and vapours, suitable respiratory protection must be used.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Eye/face protection: Wear safety goggles to protect against solvent splashes.
- Hand protection: Use chemical-resistant protective gloves tested according to EN 374. For splash protection, suitable materials include nitrile rubber or neoprene with a thickness > 0.4 mm and breakthrough time > 480 minutes. Check glove suitability for the specific workplace and replace immediately if damaged or worn.
- Skin and body protection: Depending on the probability of explosive atmospheres or heavy exposure, wear appropriate protective clothing.
- Respiratory protection: If solvent concentration exceeds air limit values, use an appropriate approved respirator (e.g. half-mask with cartridge or air-fed system). When working inside spray booths where ventilation may be insufficient, use compressed air-fed respirators during spraying until vapour and particulate levels are below exposure limits.
General protective and hygiene measures
- Do not eat, drink or smoke while using the product.
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
- Avoid inhalation of sanding dust, particulates and spray mist generated during application.
- Wash contaminated skin immediately and consider preventive skin protection creams.
