Low VOC clear one component penetrating silane cure and seal. Enhances while providing long term protection against staining and damage caused by freeze/thaw, water, salts and deicer chemicals.
CERTl -VEX GUARD AIM are clear low VOC innovative one step penetrating silane water repellent cure and seal products that can be applied to new or existing concrete. Available in three grades; matte, regular and high gloss, the products penetrate the pores and capillaries of concrete reacting with the alkali and moisture to form a hydrophobic gel in the pores and a water retentive film on the surface.
This membrane, which meets ASTM curing requirements and the Chloride Ion Penetration requirements of NCHRP 244 forms a film that restricts moisture loss allowing concrete to reach maximum hardness and reduces staining, chloride penetration, prevents intrusion of water, salts, deicer chemicals and acids that can result in costly damage to concrete and masonry.
