Concrete Sealing
Water plays a critical role in the production of concrete. It not only forms a paste that binds the cement and aggregates together, but is also what causes the hardening of the concrete through a process known as hydration. After this initial process, however, water becomes far less beneficial to concrete and can actually cause problems such as cracking, heaving, and spalling.
Crystal Lok is a water based concrete penetrating sealer, formulated to waterproof, damp proof, seal, and protect the natural appearance and profile of Portland cement based concrete. It works by penetrating concrete, and in the presence of water, causes crystals to form within the pores, capillaries, voids, and hairline cracks to create waterproof concrete with zero permeability.
Crystal Lok protects concrete against water seepage, freeze-thaw spalling, efflorescence, and the absorption of liquids to include: water, oils, acids, ores, fuels, and chloride ion salt intrusions.
Crystal Lok works equally well on new or aged concrete. Properly applied, this treatment is a lasting solution and will keep your concrete in good condition for years to come!
