Prohibit EPA Xylene Sealers 2 Years, 4 Months ago Karma: 0
My driveway/patio/sidewalk pavers are about 6 years old and never sealed. I get lots of mold here in S. Florida. I want to seal the pavers.
I have gotten several estimates. Most recommend xylene-based, but one strongly recommends water-based, claiming that if EPA outlaws xylene, I would have to strip the xylene-based sealer and then apply water-based. How likely is EPA to prohibit xylene based sealants?

Changes in VOC laws in the next year or two will require changes for all types of coatings including solvent based paver sealers. Bad news is that xylene will not be allowed as the main solvent for a paver sealer. Good news is that other solvents will be allowed that will be compliant and can be used on top of a xylene based sealer without the need for removal.

SuperSeal VOC Paver Sealer is already compliant and can be used now and in the future after VOC laws are changed.
