Planning on Rejuvenating?
Do you own or maintain a warehouse, and the concrete floor is showing signs of age?
Or conversely, perhaps the building is being re-purposed. New layout? New usage? Or perhaps even converting to retail or multi-purpose space?
Either way, you’ll be rejuvenating the floors.
Don’t overlook the concrete!
Whether you’re planning on polishing, or painting, or installing floor coverings – you want a good quality concrete substrate to work with.
Aged concrete may show signs of micro-cracking, softening, or carbonation and dusting on the surface.
This deterioration must be arrested!
Dust?
The dust on the floor may not just be grime. Concrete dust can build up as a result of traffic abrasion, or due to the process of carbonation. Concrete dust is laden with silica – a serious health hazard for anyone working constantly in such an environment.
Simple treatment
Deal with multiple substrate issues using simple one-pass treatments!
Spray-applied nanoparticle colloidal silica induces a hydrogel within the porosity of the concrete. This means
- Concrete is hardened, with anti-dust benefit, to a depth of 150mm
- Micro-cracking healed, up to 0.5mm wide
- Improved substrate for grinding or polishing
- 100% compatible with any coating, adhesive or epoxy designed for bare concrete
These benefits are wrapped into our SLAB-TECT® system.
Other scenarios
- Concrete ceilings and soffits also require protection. Again, concrete dust from deteriorating ceilings is a health hazard to the users of the space beneath. Ask about SLAB-TECT® for sealing, hardening and anti-dusting of concrete ceilings and soffits!
- Precast concrete walls need protection from weather exposure and the resulting discolouration. Turn to INFRA-TECT® for a system which can waterproof and protect vertical surfaces.
