ARMACRETE SDK is a proprietary blend of silica (Si) polymers which penetrate concrete surfaces providing an increase in abrasion resistance and a reduction in the surface absorption of liquids.
The specially selected silicate polymers present in ARMACRETE SDK each play a unique role in densifying and sealing concrete.
They chemically react with calcium hydroxide (also known as portlandite) in the surface to produce calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) – the primary strength-providing portion of concrete paste resulting in improved resistance to carbonation, chemical attack, and ingress of moisture.
The ultimate result is a concrete floor that is exceptionally dense and liquid-repellent, which equals long-lasting protection and durability.
ARMACRETE SDK is water based. It generally dries tack free in 2 to 4 hours at 21C and 50% RH.
PRIMARY APPLICATIONS
- Dustproofing
- Repair of rain damaged surfaces
- Repair/reinstatement of weak mortar
- Repair/restoration old, carbonated concrete
- Interior / exterior
- Warehouse /Commercial floors
- Manufacturing plants
- Residential garages and basements
ADVANTAGES OF USE
- Reduces porosity, dustproofs, and increases hardness of the concrete surface
- Combines with the concrete becoming part of the matrix and lasts the lifetime of the substrate.
- Complies with GREEN STAR- OFFICE DESIGN V3 IEQ-13
- Resists penetration of oil and many chemicals
- Reduces the ingress of carbon dioxide and resulting carbonation (degradation of the substrate)
- Minimizes tyre marks and enables them to be more easily removed
- Equipment can be cleaned with water
- Can be applied to fresh, new, or existing concrete
- Will not blush
- Limited After Trades compatibility (though it may be possible to over tile or line mark #)
- Compatible with bond breakers for tilt-up projects.
- ‘Cure’ * and seal capability
