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 …
Open time, working time, clamp time and cure time describe different stages of adhesive application. Confusing them can cause poor wetting, weak joints or unnecessary production delays. What the Terms Mean TermMeaning …
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 use of Fortis coatings across the varied climates of Australia does provide some challenges. To achieve the best coating, it is always best to follow the product's application guidelines. Temperature, humidity, …
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 …

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 …
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 …
Slip resistance is created by adding texture. Select aggregate for water, oil, traffic and cleaning conditions. More texture improves grip but makes cleaning harder. TextureAggregateIndicative size LightPolymer additiveFine stir-in grade MediumGraded silica0.3–0.6 …
When protecting brass, copper and other decorative metals from tarnishing and oxidation, ArmaLac™ and Incralac are two clear protective coating options available in Australia.Both are acrylic-based protective coatings, but there are differences …
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 …
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 …
Contact adhesive forms an immediate bond when two prepared, adhesive-coated surfaces are pressed together. Coverage, flash-off and pressure are more important than adhesive thickness. 1. Select the Contact Adhesive AD215 suits brush-applied …
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 …
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 …
