Hard gloss sealer for toxic off-gassing

AFM Safecoat Hard Seal is a multi-use, clear gloss sealer specially formulated to provide mar-resistance to both low and high-porosity surfaces. Because it forms a continuous membrane when applied properly, it effectively seals any pollution or toxic chemical off-gassing and improves indoor air quality.

Hard Seal can also be used on painted or stained woodwork or on unfinished wood products such as plywood, OSB, chipboard, MDF, Masonite, etc. Two coats are recommended. It will also bond to most vinyl products. If you want a more abrasion resistant sealer, try our AFM Polyureseal BP.

Hard Seal is very low-odor and safe, even for the chemically sensitive. It's easy to apply with a roller or garden pump sprayer.

Why we like it

This is an excellent product for sealing in toxic fumes. One coat usually does it, but two will certainly take care of all odors. It dries quickly and will protect your home's finishes from abuse.

Features & benefits

Easy-to-apply – use a roller or spray it on
Highly-effective – improves indoor air quality; stops air pollution by 96.8%
Durable – very hard; protects finishes from abuse
Beautiful – clear gloss appearance
Low-odor – pleasant to use
Non-toxic – contains no formaldehyde, fungicides or mildewcides
Safe – for everyone, including the chemically sensitive; learn how to test a non-toxic product for tolerance
Eco-friendly – ultra-low VOC

Alert: This product works well on most vertical surfaces or surfaces that don't have much abrasion. Hard Seal is also not recommended for hardwood floors because Polyureseal BP is a more durable product. Hardseal is more flexible so it can be used over resilient type floors like vinyl.
