Micro-Seal: Pittsburg Adult Education Center

The Pittsburg Adult Education Center in Pittsburg, CA, needed a reliable solution to protect the stucco walls of their school from long-term water damage and deterioration. Stucco is a durable and widely used building material, but without proper protection, it can become vulnerable to moisture intrusion, staining, and cracking. To ensure the school’s exterior remained strong and well-maintained for years to come, the facility turned to Micro-Seal, a high-performance silane/siloxane water repellent.

Stucco is a porous material, meaning it can absorb water over time. If left unprotected, moisture seeps in, leading to:

• Cracks & surface damage – Water weakens stucco, leading to cracks that can grow over time
• Mold & mildew growth – Excess moisture can create an ideal environment for microbial growth
• Efflorescence – White, chalky deposits form when water carries salts to the surface

With a school campus exposed to daily weather conditions, the Pittsburg Adult Education Center needed a proactive solution and that’s where Micro-Seal comes in.

Micro-Seal is a clear, breathable water repellent that penetrates into stucco surfaces to create an invisible barrier against moisture. Unlike traditional sealers that form a surface-level coating, Micro-Seal soaks into the substrate, ensuring long-term protection without altering the appearance of the stucco.

• Stops water absorption – Prevents moisture-related damage before it starts
• Reduces efflorescence & staining – Keeps stucco looking clean and well-maintained
• Breathable formula – Allows trapped moisture to escape, preventing buildup
• UV-stable & non-yellowing – Protects without changing the look of the building
• Eco-friendly & zero VOC – Safe for students, staff, and the environment

By choosing Micro-Seal, the Pittsburg Adult Education Center has ensured that its stucco walls will remain strong, protected, and visually appealing for years to come. With a simple, long-lasting application, the school has reduced future maintenance costs and extended the life of its exterior—a smart investment in both protection and sustainability.
