Concrete Polishing
& Sealing provides concrete sealing, hardening, densification,
and water proofing services.
Despite its durability, concrete is a porous material, which means
it can absorb water, chlorides, stains, and other water and oil
base materials that it comes in contact with.
By treating the concrete with a sealer, concrete matrix can inhibit
the penetration of these intruders while allowing the surface to
breathe, so moisture within the concrete doesn't become trapped.
Concrete is
typically sealed with either a penetrating sealer (impregnator)
or a film forming sealer (topical coating).
For impregnation
of concrete matrix we suggest various sodium silicate or lithium
hardeners - specially formulated concrete densifiers to increase
the wear resistance and surface strength of concrete. Densifier
deeply penetrates beyond concrete surface providing waterproofing,
dust resistance and increased hardness.
This process can be successfully used on either new or existing
concrete
floor.
For
coating of concrete floors we suggest BASF three step process
comprising of priming followed by coating the surface with self-leveling
two-part epoxy application and sealing the floor with high flexibility
polyurethane top coat aliphatic polyurethane, which is resistant
to U.V., yellowing and high abrasion.
Our company installs vehicular
traffic deck coating of BASF Conipur® Plus, high-traffic
aliphatic moisture-curing polyurethane and BASF Sonoguard®
coating system. Specifications, product data sheets, MSDS are published
on our Helpful Finks page.
Advantages of coatings are: seamless, sanitary
clean, impermeable, resistant to high traffic, resistant to alkalis,
acids and aggressive chemicals.
Typical
areas that would benefit from either impregator sealing or coating
include floors subjected to medium or heavy forklifts and tow motor
traffic: including those found in warehouses, distribution centers,
automotive assembly plants, manufacturing plants, textile mills,
coolers and freezers, food processing plants, service garages, grocery
stores, discount retail stores, hub transfer facilities, commercial
buildings, and most concrete floors needing rehabilitation.

Other
uses include concrete floors in public places subjected to frequent
or heavy pedestrian traffic, such as: civic centers, retail sales
outlets, discount stores, restaurants, sports arenas, stadiums,
hospitals, airports, museums and schools.
