Coverage based on single applicaon. Actual coverage may vary depending on the type, age, condion, joint size and porosity of
the surface, applicaon method and other local condions such as temperature and humidity. For more uniform coverage or if
desired a light second coat may be applied aer the rst coat has dried to the touch.

SURFACE PREPARATION
 Test First: Test rst on a small inconspicuous area to determine suitability and if desired results are achievable with this product
on your specic surface.
 Clean Surface: Surface should be thoroughly cleaned and prepared with Trident’s cleaners. It should be free of oil, dust, loose
material, and previously applied sealer other than Trident’s Cyclone sealer. Kill and remove growth of any mold, mildew, fungus
or algae. Thoroughly rinse all cleaner residue prior to sealing.
 Allow surface to dry for a minimum of 24 hours aer cleaning and/or rain before joint sand installaon or sealer applicaon.
 Joint Stabilizaon Preparaon: Paver joints should be no more than 3/4” wide and lled with dry correctly graded joint sand that
meets ASTM C144 standard. Compact surface with vibratory roller or compactor aer sweeping sand into joints to minimize air
voids. Top level of sand should be 1/8” below the boom of chamfer edge or on non-chamfered surfaces 1/8” down from top of
surface.
 Prior to sealing, use a leaf blower to remove dust, debris and ne sand parcles from the surface.
 Cover/Protect nearby landscape, vehicles and buildings from overspray during applicaon.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
 Apply when day and night temperatures are between 40°F - 95°F.
 Allow surface to dry for a minimum of 24 hours aer cleaning and/or rain before sealer applicaon.
 Avoid windy condions to keep sealer spray from driing.
 NO pre-blending or mixing required. DO NOT DILUTE.
 Excessive applicaons can cause surface to become slippery. Some surfaces may require an an-slip addive to increase fricon.
APPLICATION TOOLS
 Low pressure, high volume sprayer such as an airless sprayer or hand held pump-up sprayer
 Slit foam roller
 Foam squeegee for joint stabilizaon
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cyclone is designed for a one-coat applicaon but if desired an addional light spray coat can be applied only aer the rst
applicaon has dried to the touch.
Spray & Back Roll Applicaon (no joint stabilizaon):
 To apply sealer, hold sprayer nozzle perpendicular to the surface, spray and overlap each spray pass.
 Before product dries, back roll with a foam roller to eliminate any pooling and to even out sealer.
Flood Coat & Squeegee Applicaon for Joint Stabilizaon:
 Follow coverage guidelines for joint stabilizaon.
 Spray sealer to ood joints ensuring proper sand penetraon for stabilizaon.
 Use a foam squeegee to direct excess sealer into the joints. On an uneven surface, it is recommended to then back roll with a foam
roller to even out the sealer and eliminate pooling.
DRY TIME
 Surface will be dry to the touch in 60 minutes assuming 65-85°F. Low surface or air temperature will extend dry mes.
 Protect the surface from dust, rain, condensaon, and trac while drying.
 Area can be open to foot & vehicular trac in 24 hours depending on site condions.

CLEAN UP
For tools and equipment, use soap and water before product is allowed to dry.
MAINTENANCE
Sealed surfaces should be properly maintained to get the best long-term performance from both the pavement and the Cyclone
sealer.
 Keep surface clear of buildup of dirt, grime and stains by rinsing with cold, clean water.
 If staining of surface does occur, Trident Sealers are compable with Trident's Cleaners which can be used to remove general
dirness, organic and inorganic stains like oils, food and beverages and mineral deposits from the surface.
 Test cleaners in inconspicuous area prior to cleaning.
 Be sure to check diluon rates for all cleaners to determine if they are ready to use or to determine appropriate diluon rate
especially for sealed surfaces.
 Eorescence should be removed using Trident’s White Water eorescence cleaner and a pressure washer, in conjuncon with
agitaon from a natural ber brush. Care should be taken to ensure that excessive pressure is not ulized, as it may erode joint
sand and could damage the surface itself.
 Thoroughly rinse all cleaner o the surface before sealing.
RE-APPLICATION
Re-applicaon may need to be carried out every 2 - 3 years depending on the type of surface and environmental/site condions.

Protect sealer from freezing and store in a cool place when not in use. In winter, keep in heated area. This sealer is not
recommended for marble, granite, ceramic le, and polished, honed or high gloss surfaces as they do not absorb the sealer. A test
area is ALWAYS recommended to determine product suitability and compability with your specic surface before use and to
verify if desired results are achievable. Due to the inherent variability of natural stone and clay products, long term performance
may vary. Please consult with Trident prior to sealing if there are concerns. The use of an an-slip addive is recommended for
increased tracon on surface inclines or around consistently wet areas such as pool deck surrounds. Do not use below grade or
where water is always present. Never try to seal wet or damp surfaces. A minimum air temperature of 40° (5°C) must be
maintained for a period of 24 hours prior to applicaon. Air temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C) during applicaon. Work
should cease in inclement weather (rain or strong wind).
