Trident Hurricane CAT 5 | 2 Part Urethane Sealer Concentrate | Made in America

This listing is the Made in America production of Trident Hurricane CAT 5, sold in CAD. It is the same CAT 5 formula as our standard CAT 5 kit listing.

This is the Made in America production of Trident Hurricane CAT 5 concentrate, offered to Canadian customers in CAD. CAT 5 is a water-based 2-part aliphatic urethane that gives pavers and concrete a wet-look, high-gloss finish with Trident's strongest joint sand stabilization. Each 7 gal kit makes 15 gallons of ready-to-use sealer at the D1 ratio or 20 gallons at the D2 ratio, and is recommended for professional application. D1 gives more gloss and stronger joint sand stabilization; D2 is the leaner, economy ratio.

Key benefits of CAT 5

• Deepest colour enhancement and high gloss (T3 True Tone Technology)
• Armor Bond: strongest joint stabilization to reduce sand washout, weeds and insects
• Guards against salt, mild acid, alkali and other corrosives
• Antifungal Fungal Guard protects the film from mould, moss and algae
• Breathable: will not trap efflorescence or moisture; apply to new, clean, dry surfaces without waiting
• Will not yellow in sunlight; low VOC

CAT 5 specifications

Who it is for

• Hardscape and sealing contractors
• Driveways, pool decks and patios needing maximum durability and gloss

Not recommended for

• Marble, granite, ceramic tile and polished, honed or high-gloss surfaces (not enough texture to absorb the sealer)

How to use CAT 5

1. Clean the surface (OxyShock MAX for organics, EffBOMB for efflorescence) and let it dry; for joint stabilization the surface must be dry.
2. Re-sand joints with SEK Jointing Sand if needed.
3. Mix Part A and Part B, then dilute with water at the D1 ratio (one 7 gal kit makes 15 gal ready to use) or the D2 ratio (20 gal ready to use), following the Trident label. D1 gives more gloss and stronger joint sand stabilization; D2 is the leaner, economy ratio.
4. Test in a small area to verify appearance.
5. Apply the first coat as a flood coat at 80-120 sq ft per gallon (mixed) to saturate the joints, with no pooling.
6. Apply the second coat once the first has visually cleared and is dry to the touch, usually about one hour.

Using CAT 5 in the Canadian climate

CAT 5 guards against salt and corrosives, which matters on Canadian driveways exposed to de-icers. It is breathable and will not trap moisture. Trident's TDS calls for day and night temperatures between 7 and 35°C (45-95°F), with at least 4°C (40°F) for 24 hours before application. Allow 24 hours before foot traffic and 48 hours before vehicles.

CAT 5 FAQ

D1 or D2: which CAT 5 ratio should I use?

Use D1 (one 7 gal kit makes 15 gallons ready to use) when you want more gloss and stronger joint sand stabilization. D2 (20 gallons ready to use) is the leaner, economy ratio for jobs where maximum gloss and joint strength are less critical.

How is this different from the standard CAT 5 listing?

It is the US-made production run of the same Trident CAT 5 concentrate, priced separately in CAD. Contact us if you are unsure which to order.

How much does a kit make?

One 7 gal kit makes 15 gallons of ready-to-use sealer at the D1 ratio or 20 gallons at the D2 ratio.

What coverage should I plan for?

80-120 sq ft/gal with joint stabilization, 200-300 sq ft/gal sealing only (mixed).
