Does a newly poured concrete surface need to be cleaned and etched before coating with Cryli-Tek 5505? What is the average lifetime of a Cryli-Tek coated concrete surface with high foot traffic before it must be re-coated? How many coats of Cryli-Tek should you apply to a new concrete surface? What is the best anti-slip additive to add to Cryli-Tek before coating a concrete surface, and how much should be added?
It should be clean but does not need to be etched. If you were to apply two coats of Cryli-Tek, with high foot traffic, you could expect 2 years. There are more abraision resistant sealers available if longevity is your goal.
For anti-slip, we offer Shur Grip and Ultra Grip located here:
