Mix sealers, curing agents, or cleaners with confidence. Choose ratio, percent, or label rate easily. See exact water and concentrate amounts for every tank.
| Use case | Total mix | Basis | Setting | Tank size | Waste | Concentrate result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curing compound dilution | 200 L | Ratio | 1:15 | 15 L | 5% | ≈ 13.33 L (+5% = 14.00 L) |
| Surface cleaner batch | 120 L | Label rate | 20 mL/L | 12 L | 8% | ≈ 2.40 L (+8% = 2.59 L) |
| Sealer light coat mix | 60 gal | Percent | 3% | 5 gal | 5% | ≈ 6.81 L (+5% = 7.15 L) |
Accurate batch planning reduces stoppages and uneven finishes on slabs, walls, and steelwork. By entering the intended total volume, the calculator converts units and separates concentrate from water. Optional area and application rate inputs help you align prepared volume with coverage demand, limiting dry edges and rework.
Construction products specify dilution in different ways. Percent-by-volume is common for additives and certain sealers. Label rate in milliliters per liter is typical for cleaners or corrosion inhibitors. Ratio mixing, expressed as 1:N, is widely used for curing compounds and release agents. Selecting the correct basis keeps the mix aligned with manufacturer intent. If a label lists a range and a maximum, plan around the stricter value.
Overspray, hose hold-up, and container residue can consume more material than expected. The waste factor adds an allowance to total mix, concentrate, and water so your crew stays productive. The tank size input estimates refill loads using a ceiling calculation, helping you stage water supply and measure containers. Use the load count to pre-stage measured concentrate bottles, then top up with water to the final mark.
Consistent results require repeatable measuring. Use calibrated jugs, marked mixing drums, and a simple check sheet that records date, crew, substrate, weather, and batch settings. Exporting CSV creates an audit trail. The PDF summary is useful for daily reports and handover packages. For high-visibility work, run a trial batch, confirm fan pattern and nozzle size, then lock the settings for the shift.
Even “water based” mixes can be hazardous. Confirm compatibility with the sprayer, keep agitation, and respect pot life. Use proper PPE, control drift near traffic and adjacent trades, and prevent runoff into drains. Dispose of rinse water and empty containers according to local rules. Avoid mixing in confined spaces without ventilation, and store concentrates away from heat and sunlight.
Use the basis shown on the product label. If guidance is given as percent, select percent. If it lists mL per liter, select label rate. If it states 1:N, select ratio.
Yes. The waste factor increases total mix, concentrate, and water to cover overspray, hose hold-up, and leftover material. Set it to zero if you want a strict theoretical quantity.
Refills equal the adjusted total volume divided by tank size, rounded up. Rounding up ensures you plan enough loads to complete the work without running short.
Yes. Choose US gallons in the units selector. The tool converts internally and still reports liters and gallons in the results for quick verification.
Enter the area in square meters and the application rate in liters per square meter. The calculator multiplies them to show the minimum liquid volume required for the target coverage.
It is a simple one-page summary for field records. For formal documentation, attach the product label, method statement, and your batch logs, then include the PDF as supporting evidence.
