This site will function like the deckstainingtips.com site only this one is dedicated to concrete, stone, brick and masonry staining and sealing.

Check it out at http://concretesealingtips.com

There are still going to be a few changes on the back end but it is basically finished and ready.

We also have DIRECT access to 3 different stain and sealer manufacturers because as you know, there is not a one size fits all product out there.

Do you have experience in ASR, AAR and DPS's that can control it? I have a strip mall.. 13,000' with some of the worst ASR I've ever seen. I'm looking for a product that can control it enough to atleast put down an acrylic. I'm not having much luck and may have to just go with an acid stain or a DPS. The reactions have created pop-outs and the concrete looks like it's been salted due to the defect.

Thanks

The InnerSeal from Wakefield Mfg will help with that issue. It is a penetrating sealer that when it settles in the bottom of the sealer penetration is sitting around 64 mills below the surface while the top edge of the sealer sits at around 23 mills below the surface. This leaves the surface available to be coated with what ever you want to use. This sealer can also be colored.

Basically you need Silica + Alkali + Water for ASR to form so what happens is the InnerSeal removes the Alkali and the water from the equation thus stopping the reaction. InnerSeal has also been tested to improve the compressive strength of the concrete by up to 60%. With Moisture coming up from the ground, sealing the surface will not stop the reaction as the moisture will just wick up from the ground.

Here are 3 links for info. The stuff is not cheap but there is nothing that can touch the technology. It has to be cheaper that new concrete.

Since you are in the land of extreme regulation, you will be glad to know that all of these products are water based with no voc's.

We can get right to the top guy at wakefield also if you have any questions. He knows concrete better than the back of his hand.

Thanks
