SRW Products Slit Foam Roller X-Treme

Apply SRW solvent-based paver sealers seamlessly and evenly with the SRW Products Slit Foam Roller X-Treme. The black slit-foam cover is solvent-resistant — xylene and aromatic-hydrocarbon binders won’t soften, swell, or shed it — so you can use it across an entire HGX or DG job without the cover collapsing on you. The slit pattern releases a controlled, lap-mark-free film that levels into joints and surface texture without flooding.

Specifications

• Type: Solvent-resistant slit-foam paint/sealer roller cover
• Color: Black
• Use With: SRW solvent-based paver sealers — HGX High Gloss X-treme, DG Dual Guard, and similar xylene-cleanup sealers
• Surfaces: Smooth and textured concrete, pavers, wetcast, stamped concrete, natural stone
• Compression: Stays spongy — will not compress under sealer load
• Solvent Resistance: Resists xylene and SRW Specialty Clean™ XY Xylene Solvent — safe for solvent-based sealer cleanup
• Application: Spray, then back-roll — the standard SRW two-person sealing method

Why X-Treme vs the Standard Slit Foam Roller?

• Solvent-resistant foam: the standard yellow Slit Foam Roller dissolves in xylene-cleanup sealers — the X-Treme black foam is engineered to hold up to aromatic hydrocarbons
• Built for HGX and DG: the only SRW roller rated for the solvent-based premium-tier sealers
• Same lap-mark-free finish: the slit pattern works the sealer into texture without flooding joints
• No compression collapse: stays spongy across a full pail without flattening
• For water-based sealers: use the standard yellow Slit Foam Roller for SRW HG, LG, PS, PSX, SGX

Application

1. Verify sealer compatibility: this roller is for solvent-based sealers (HGX, DG). For water-based sealers (HG, LG, PS, PSX, SGX), use the standard yellow Slit Foam Roller.
2. Mount the roller on a standard 9″ roller frame.
3. Spray sealer onto the surface per the sealer’s instructions, working from the high point downhill.
4. Back-roll immediately with the slit foam to even out coverage and work sealer into texture — do not let sealer pool.
5. Cleanup: rinse with SRW Specialty Clean™ XY Xylene Solvent immediately after use (soap and water will not work). Dry the roller before storage; replace if foam tears.

Tips

• Two-person application is recommended — one sprays, one back-rolls.
• Don’t over-saturate the roller; let it pick up sealer from what’s already on the surface.
• Keep a spare roller on hand for jobs larger than one pail — foam wears as it absorbs cured sealer residue.
• Eliminate ignition sources during cleanup — xylene vapors are flammable.
