Sustainable Concrete Hygiene Protection

AQURON 2000 MEDI+ - Deep concrete hygiene sealing, contamination protection and moisture control.

Spray Applied Icon
AQURON 2000 MEDI+ is a spray-applied colloidal silica enhanced hydrogel treatment for new and existing concrete.

AQURON 2000 MEDI+ concrete hygiene protection is a variant of the original AQURON 2000 concrete treatment, enhanced to protect against moisture-borne contaminants, including bio-fluids.

AQURON 2000 MEDI+ is ideal for a wide range of specific concrete protection needs:

  • Aged care and residential
  • Hospitals and healthcare
  • Laboratories
  • Animal care and housing
  • Public spaces

 

Licensed to use the ECNZ ecolabel, which is recognized by GBCA and NZGBC.

Important: For full performance warranty, AQURON 2000 MEDI+ must be applied by MARKHAM-trained and -authorized applicators, using MARKHAM’s proven quality control system.

Why your concrete floor slabs should be protected with AQURON 2000 MEDI+

AQURON 2000 MEDI+ seals the porosity of the concrete, preventing the entrance or movement of moisture-borne contaminants.

AQURON 2000 MEDI+

HYGIENE CONTROL

  • Seals the concrete porosity to a depth of 150mm, preventing the entrance or internal
    movement of moisture and contaminants.
  • Protects against urine, blood, laboratory substances and cleaning chemicals.

AQURON 2000 MEDI+

LOCKS UP MOISTURE - PREVENTING MOISTURE MIGRATION

  • Immobilizes 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 MEDI+ concrete hygiene protection is a key component of the FLOOR-TECT™ system, hygiene protection variant. FLOOR-TECT™ complies with AS1884-2021.

AQURON 2000 MEDI+

CURING

• Equal or superior to 14 days’ water curing.
• Complies with the moisture retention requirements of AS3799.
• Save costs and time with curing and moisture control in one treatment.

How AQURON 2000 MEDI+ works.

The core technology is colloidal silica hydrogel. 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, colloidal silica hydrogel in the pores and porosity.   This hydrogel over time reaches strengths similar to Calcium Silicate Hydrate (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 hydrogels 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.
