CONCRETE SEALER
(Silicate Base)
DESCRIPTION:
Silicate base concrete sealers penetrate into the surface of the concrete where they chemically react below the surface to form a permanent calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) barrier within the pores. Once cured, the CSH barrier will reduce the size of the concrete pores and increase the surface strength by up to 45%. By reducing the size of the pores, the movement of sub-surface water and moisture through the pores is also reduced. Concrete sealed with a silicate concrete sealer will be more resistant to dusting and deterioration caused by weak concrete or surface abrasion.
Silicate Concrete sealer need to be diluted with water before applying to concrete. While silicate concrete sealers are used to seal virtually all types of concrete, silicate sealers have a larger molecule and are commonly used on porous concrete.
Silicate concrete sealers are not to be confused with water repellent sealers. Silicate concrete sealers increase the strength and density of the concrete, but they don't reduce water absorption on the surface.
PRIMARY APPLICATIONS:
- Interior or exterior
- Warehouse floors
- Commercial and retail floors
- Manufacturing plants
- Distribution centers
- Polished concrete
FEATURES/BENEFITS:
- Reduces porosity and increases durability of the concrete surface
- Reduces water seepage through concrete
- Reduces concrete dusting
- Protects against freeze-thaw damage and road salts
- Reduces the rusting and expansion of rebar
- Neutralizes alkalis
- CSH formed by chemical reaction is permanent
- Treated surfaces have increased liquid repellency
- Can be applied to new or existing concrete
