It excels at sealing in toxic outgassing, especially formaldehyde, while being virtually odorless and low in VOCs. Its superior adhesion improves coating and adhesive performance, making it ideal for sensitive environments and eco-conscious professionals. ## Description Safecoat Safe Seal is a multi-purpose, waterborne, clear low gloss primer/sealer. It is primarily for highly porous surfaces such as particle board, plywood, processed wood and porous concrete, but works well as an adhesion promoter underneath other Safecoat topcoats. It is also commonly used to reduce toxic outgassing by flushing and sealing: in particular, it is highly effective at sealing in formaldehyde outgassing from processed wood such as plywood, particle board, OSB, and pressed wood. Safecoat Safe Seal adds water and moisture protection to a variety of surfaces and is virtually odorless on application and odorless once cured. Use On Porous surfaces such as processed wood products, concrete, wood, new drywall, and plaster. Test surfaces first in inconspicuous areas to be sure product absorbs into surfaces completely. Excellent at controlling emissions of open faced and faced fiberglass batt insulation - simply fog spray surfaces. Safe Seal''s superior adhesion to a variety of surfaces allows for its use as a bonding primer to improve the adhesion and bonding power of adhesives and coatings on difficult surfaces. For example, apply a thin coat to the slab and bottom of the tile before laying floor tile adhesive (in this application no cure period is necessary; the adhesive may be applied while the Safe Seal is still tacky). Advantages / Significant Benefits - Highly effective at sealing in toxicity of underlying surface. - Low odor, non-offensive to installer and occupant. - Safely used by and for the chemically sensitive. - Fights indoor air pollution, seals in the outgassing from the substrate. - Low VOC content, meets or exceeds all federal and state air quality regulations, including California. - Contains no formaldehyde. Specs Click Here Review: Great product wish I knew about sooner - No smell really, if anything like a subtle watered down latex paint. Some people have complained about the smell but I don’t have any issues with it. We used it to seal some furniture that my husband was having a terrible respiratory reaction to because of all the off gassing and this stuff really worked. It dries down pretty fast and I was worried it would be tacky because directions say you should use a finishing coat of something because it would be tacky but because it was raw mdf we were treating it soaked it right up and didn’t leave it sticky at all. Would highly recommend if you have sensitivity to chemicals in manufactured wood products. Review: Stop faameldihide smell - Bought this to stop faameldihide smell in our camper. Didn't work. I'm writing a review 4 years later because we finally found something that cuts the smell. Rug Doctor carpet cleaner. We have tried many things and We accidentally ran into this. It's the first thing that has ever cut the smell of that faameldihide. ## Features - 12" Width X 12" Height X 12" Depth ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005QOHUVW | | Best Sellers Rank | #366,392 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #981 in Hardware Sealers | | Brand Name | AFM Safecoat | | Color | White | | Compatible Material | Wood, Porous Concrete | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (43) | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 8 inches | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | AFM Safecoat | | Material Type | Acrylic | | Model | 31104 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 31104 | | Style Name | Compact | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | UPC | 780410311049 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AFM Safecoat - **Item Weight:** 5 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 8 x 8 inches - **Material:** Acrylic - **Style:** Compact ## Images ![Safe Seal Gallon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/411eX1dcZuL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: doese this have an oder?** A: It is a very minimal smell and dissipates after drying **Q: Does it leave any residue? I want to use it over the back of a mirror which touches the wall, so I need to be sure this won't leave residue on walls.** A: Not that I could tell. I used this on the backside of some MDF trim. Once it was dried/cured, you couldn’t tell I had applied anything. **Q: Should afm safe seal be used on laminate floors, or would hard seal be better?** A: I had great success with Safe Seal used on MDF, but am not a factory professional, just an end user. I found Dwell Smart to be and excellent and reliable source for these types of questions. I have used several Safecoat products, but not on Laminate floors. Good Luck!! **Q: Can I paint over a plywood that has already be stained?** A: Yes, there's no problem painting over the stain. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product wish I knew about sooner *by B***. on June 6, 2025* No smell really, if anything like a subtle watered down latex paint.

Didn't work. I'm writing a review 4 years later because we finally found something that cuts the smell. Rug Doctor carpet cleaner. We have tried many things and We accidentally ran into this. It's the first thing that has ever cut the smell of that faameldihide. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stops the smell *by K***N on February 9, 2022* We raised the floor on a sunken room and the top boards are OSB plywood. We found out afterwards that these boards release a lot of VOCs and the smell was overwhelming and nauseating to me. We discovered this product and got it from Amazon right away. After one coat the smell was gone. Note that the product has its own smell, which is gone the next day. We had ordered enough for two coats so we just went ahead and put the other coat on, but I think one would have been enough. A one gallon jug of the stuff covered about 300 square feet of our boards. We used a window squeegee to spread on the first coat after pouring small amounts in puddles around the boards. But the second coat we used a garden pump-type sprayer to put the stuff on and used the squeegee to spread it an that worked better. ## Frequently Bought Together - AFM Safecoat Safe Seal Gallon - AFM Safecoat Grout Sealer 32 oz Quart- AFM -31203… - AFM Safecoat Multi Purpose Caulking Compound 10oz Tube (AFM-71830) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7590128-safe-seal-gallon](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7590128-safe-seal-gallon) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
