Curing & Moisture Control of concrete under floorcoverings.
AQURON 2000 Spray-on penetrating treatment that "locks up" internal RH moisture movement within concrete under adhered floorcoverings
ONE PRODUCT verses MULTIPLE PRODUCTS
AQURON 2000 provides both curing for concrete & RH Moisture Control
AQURON 2000 concrete waterproofing sealer is a spray-applied colloidal silica hydrogel treatment for new and existing concrete. AQURON 2000 guarantees to control internal concrete moisture under floor coverings and is also a penetrating waterproofing treatment.
MARKHAM WARRANTY is conditional on the 5 Rules & 8 Precautions.
Also utilised as penetrating spray-on treatment for waterproofing and enhancing concrete durability. Learn more about utilising AQURON 2000 for waterproofing concrete…..
AQURON 2000 is the original catalytic hydrogel treatment for concrete. It has so many uses, applications and benefits, that people don’t always immediately believe us when we tell them what it can do.
AQURON 2000 is a water-borne nanoparticle colloidal silica, with a unique catalyst. When atomized onto the surface of concrete, AQURON 2000 penetrates deep into the porosity, reacting with the free limes and moisture already in the concrete, and inducing a C-S-H hydrogel formation.
- Ideal for controlling concrete moisture under floor coverings.
- Effective for waterproofing exposed concrete floors and roofs.
- Can be used as part of remediation and durability works.
- Suitable for internal and external use.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) available.

- Suitable for new and existing concrete before resilient floor coverings.
Why Quantity Surveyors include:
- Prevents hidden costs from flooring failures.
- Replaces multiple treatments with one application — cost-effective and efficient.
- Protects project margins and timelines.
Why Site Project Managers use:
- Reduces risk of rework and schedule delays.
- No need to remove film curing compounds — saves time and labor.
- Can be applied to wet surfaces, keeping projects moving.
Why Floor Layers can trust:
- Install with confidence — no callbacks.
- Addresses elevated RH moisture levels for reliable adhesion.
- Safe for both contractor and environment
Ideal for Commercial Projects
- Designed for large-scale efficiency.
- Proven performance on projects 500m² and above.
AQURON 2000 Prior to Floorcoverings
MOISTURE LOCKED UP PREVENTING MIGRATION
- Locks up moisture – preventing migration
- Immobilises moisture by transforming it into a hydrogel state. This allows direct stick flooring to be installed, regardless of the RH% of the concrete.
- AQURON 2000 is a key component of the FLOOR-TECT™ system. FLOOR-TECT™ complies with AS1884-2021

How AQURON 2000 Prior to Floorcoverings works.
The core technology is a hydrogel formation induced by colloidal silica.
When spray applied to concrete, the nano-size colloidal silica reacts with the calcium hydroxide in the pore water to penetrate into the concrete pores to depths of 150mm to form a stable, polymerized hydrogel in the pores and porosity.
AQURON 2000 Prior to Floorcoverings
Colloidal silica particles are nano-size
This hydrogel over time reaches strengths similar to Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H, cement paste). Its most important function though, at any age, is that it stops moisture migration through the concrete porosity. Once the reaction has taken place, and the hydrogel is formed, it is permanent and cannot be reversed or removed, it becomes part of the concrete itself.
Colloidal silica particles are nano-size and able to work in the nano-size concrete pores. A typical concrete pore is around 50 nanometres, and colloidal silica is in the range of 5-20 nanometres in size.
For scale, a human hair is 100,000 nanometres.
AQURON 2000 Prior to Floorcoverings
Applied over a number of passes
AQURON 2000 penetrating hydrogel is a spray-applied. The sprayer must have sufficient pressure and tip size to atomise the spray. AQURON 2000 can be applied to new or existing concrete.
- Applied over a number of passes
- Coverage rate of about 5 m² per litre, depending on the absorbency of the concrete.
- Nil VOC content = 100 % Safe for installers, marine and animal life
- AQURON 2000 is a key component of the FLOOR-TECT™ systemt.
FLOOR-TECT™ complies with AS1884-2021.

FLOOR PREPARATIONS, PATCHES & ADHESIVES need an absorbent concrete surface
Floor preparations, patches, and adhesives require an absorbent concrete surface in order to physically bond and chemically cure. The moisture or solvents must have a place to dissipate.”
