Sealant Consumption Calculator Shaliseal Ps Pg

How to Use This Calculator

To calculate sealant consumption:

1. Enter the area to be sealed in square feet or square meters
2. Select the type of sealant (PS or PG)
3. Choose the application method (brush, roller, or spray)
4. Specify the number of coats needed
5. Click "Calculate" to get the required sealant amount

The calculator provides results in both gallons and liters, with a detailed breakdown of the calculation process.

Formula Used

The formula accounts for different sealant types and application methods, providing accurate material estimates for construction projects.

Worked Example

For a 500 sq ft concrete floor using ShaliSeal PS with brush application and 2 coats:

1. Area = 500 sq ft
2. Coverage Rate = 150 sq ft per gallon (for PS with brush)
3. Number of Coats = 2
4. Calculation: (500 × 150 × 2) / 231 = 1.29 gallons

You would need approximately 1.3 gallons of ShaliSeal PS for this project.

Types of ShaliSeal Sealants

ShaliSeal PS is ideal for crack sealing and concrete repair, while ShaliSeal PG is better suited for expansion joint filling due to its flexible properties.

Proper Application Techniques

Brush Application

• Use a stiff-bristle brush for PS and a soft-bristle brush for PG
• Apply in thin, even coats
• Allow proper drying time between coats

Roller Application

• Use a 9" roller for PS and a 6" roller for PG
• Apply pressure evenly to avoid air bubbles
• Work in small sections for better control

Spray Application

• Use a low-pressure spray gun
• Apply in a crosshatch pattern
• Allow proper curing time before walking on surfaces
