Adhesive strength depends on the surface beneath it. Dust, oil, moisture, oxidation, release agents and weak coatings can prevent wetting or cause the bond to separate from the material. Preparation by Material …
Concrete sealer can reduce surface grip, particularly when applied to smooth concrete or when the surface is wet. However, how slippery a sealed surface becomes depends on the concrete texture, slope, type …
The best concrete driveway sealer depends on the type of concrete, its condition and the appearance you want to achieve. For most decorative driveways, the first decision is whether to use a …
De-lamination of coatings can occur between the coating system and the substrate. Causes of de-lamination The possible causes for de-lamination are: Contamination Inadequate surface preparation Incompatibility 1. Contamination Contamination can be on …
Epoxy, polyurethane and polyaspartic coatings differ in curing speed, UV stability, working time and finish. Selection depends on traffic, exposure, downtime and substrate. CoatingMain strengthsTypical uses EpoxyStrong adhesion, high build and economicalGarages, …
Adhesive failure is usually caused by material selection, surface preparation, application or service conditions. Examining where the joint separated is the best place to begin. Identify the Failure Mode What you seeLikely …
Most epoxy floors require two or three stages, depending on the product, concrete, traffic and finish. A coat may be a primer, build coat, colour coat or clear topcoat, so the complete …
Bubbles and pinholes form when air or gas moves through wet epoxy and becomes trapped during cure. Small open craters are pinholes; raised defects are bubbles or blisters. Identify the cause before …
Water-based and high-solids epoxy coatings both protect concrete floors but differ in odour, film build, application and service. “Water-based” describes the carrier, while “high-solids” describes how much coating remains after curing. A …
Concrete acid stains react with calcium compounds in cured concrete to create permanent, variegated colour. The result depends on the concrete, so exact uniformity cannot be guaranteed. Prepare and Test Concrete must …
Concrete sealer can turn white, milky or cloudy when moisture becomes trapped within or beneath the coating, or when the sealer does not form a clear film correctly. The problem is often …
An epoxy primer seals concrete, improves adhesion and reduces uneven absorption. Selection depends on concrete condition, moisture, porosity and recoat speed. Concrete conditionOption Sound and suitable for self-primingAquaCoat™ or Coat 823 HS …
Concrete sealers can be broadly divided into penetrating and film-forming systems. Both can protect concrete, but they work differently and produce different appearances. The best choice depends on the substrate, exposure and …
Correct maintenance preserves polished concrete without leaving residue or unnecessarily wearing the surface. First identify whether the floor is densified, protected with a penetrating treatment or finished with a clear coating. Routine …
Concrete densifiers supply reactive silicate that penetrates the surface and combines with calcium hydroxide from cement hydration. This forms additional calcium silicate hydrate within the pores, increasing surface hardness, reducing dusting and …
Water-based and solvent-based acrylic sealers both form a protective film over concrete, but they differ in odour, appearance, application and clean-up. Choosing the right system depends on the substrate, location and finish …
Grinding exposes pinholes, air pockets and small voids formed during concrete placement. Filling them creates a more uniform surface that polishes consistently, accepts densifiers and protective treatments more evenly, and traps less …
Correct surface preparation is essential before applying a concrete sealer. The concrete must be sound, clean, sufficiently porous and within the moisture requirements of the selected sealer. Poor preparation can cause uneven …
For the flooring contractor hired to apply or repair a coating on a concrete floor, the range of tools and possible techniques available for surface preparation can be extensive. Surface preparation methods …
Concrete sealers and enhancers can reduce absorption, change appearance or form a protective film. The correct treatment depends on the concrete finish, exposure, traffic and maintenance requirements. Compare the Options TreatmentResultFortis options …
