Impregnation for the protection of concrete floors: polyurethane, epoxy, silicate impregnation
Lack of the necessary protection of concrete floors makes vulnerable to the effects of water, chemicals, petrochemicals, dyes. To avoid too rapid aging of gender, resort to hardening of concrete technology. For this purpose, a variety of impregnation applied differing properties, the composition of the principle action.
Impregnations thanks to eliminating the problem of dust associated with concrete deterioration and the appearance of fine cement dust that permeates almost everywhere. Surface flooring becomes totally impervious to water, acids, alkalis, salts and other corrosive materials.
Active components impregnations come into contact with the components of concrete and form it into the surface layers of a solid, a waterproof structure. This method allows processing of fresh concrete floors, to restore the old objects. Processed construction are long and require less repair costs, as well as create much fewer problems to owners premises.
The advantage of impregnation It is that they are universal. They can be used on almost any object - in a residential apartment, in the office, the warehouse, the company, in a store, in kindergarten or clinic. The materials used are environmentally friendly, so do not cause any harm to human health.
When choosing a type of impregnation should consider the appointment of the room temperature, the degree of deterioration of concrete floors and many other factors.
The use of silicate impregnation
To get rid of the problem of dust, the floors can be treated silicate impregnation. These formulations penetrate into the deeper layers, crystallize and form strong, hard layer.
After processing, concrete flooring acquire excellent waterproofing performance, their appearance is greatly improved due to the appearance of a beautiful sheen.
The use of polyurethane compositions
Impregnation based on polyurethane can clog the pores and capillaries of concrete, to form an elastic and waterproof layer that substantially increases the abrasion and impact resistance of floors. Using such formulations nizkomarochnogo treated structures made of concrete with a large number of pores.
Like silicate Polyurethane prevent the formation of dust due to the decrease of concrete deterioration, increases the chemical resistance of the material. It should also be noted that the polyurethane layer increases the resistance of structures to sudden temperature changes.
Polyurethane very firmly glued to almost any surface, so it does not require a primer treated floors.
impregnating components penetrate sufficiently deeply into the concrete, and then converted to polymeric compounds which are not washed out with water. Concrete processing can be performed at temperatures below freezing, because the polyurethane does not freeze and preserves its elasticity.
Epoxy impregnation: pros
The epoxy resin has high adhesion, allowing it to firmly adhere to the concrete. After applying this composition on the concrete floor is formed a surface layer having high density and strength.
by contrast, polyurethane epoxy impregnation is that they can be applied only in the heated rooms. In addition, epoxy is very solid, whereas the polyurethane has a high elasticity. Unlike polyurethane, epoxy resin allows the complete treatment of concrete floors more quickly.
