Despite its durability, concrete is a porous material, which means it can absorb water, chlorides, stains, and other water- or oil-based materials that it comes in contact with. By treating the concrete with a sealer, you can inhibit the penetration of these intruders while allowing the surface to breathe, so moisture within the concrete doesn't become trapped.
Concrete Sealers work by blocking penetration of water and contaminants by forming a barrier on the concrete surface. Sealers also penetrate into the concrete surface to a depth of about 1 to 4 mils to increase water repellency and resist stains on absorbent concrete. Usually they provide invisible protection without changing the surface appearance.
Other Benefits Sealers Provide:
- Beautification and color enhancement
- Protecting concrete and masonry from dirt, oil, grease, chemicals, and staining
- Dust-proofing of the surface
- Resistance to abrasion and UV exposure
- Water repellency and protection from freeze-thaw damage
- Removal of dirt buildup, efflorescence, and stubborn stains
Concrete Sealing preserves the life of concrete in high moisture, high corrosion areas by preventing the concrete from deteriorating, lightens old weathered concrete, seals and preserves weathering concrete from acid rain, pollution, Freeze/Thaw Cycles, Repels Algae growth and Enhances Bonding of Repairs, Paint and Floor coatings or mastics.
