PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE SURFACE TREATMENT SYSTEMS

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of thermal and moisture variations on the performance of selected concrete surface treatment materials. The data developed in this study will be useful in selecting surface treatment materials compatible with the exposure conditions. The performance of the following concrete surface treatment materials, under thermal and moisture variations, was investigated: (1) Sodium silicate; (2) Silicon resin solution; (3) Silane/siloxane; (4) Silane/siloxane with acrylic top coat; (5) Alkyl alkoxy silane; (6) Two component acrylic coating.
