Pavement Surface Scaling, Moisture-Related Deterioration & Surface Hardening
If you have pavement surface scaling, moisture-related deterioration or surface hardening, you need to perform:
Spray Sealing
Advancements in chemical technology have enabled manufacturers to develop spray sealants that penetrate more deeply into the pore structure of concrete. This enhanced penetration offers improved protection against salt intrusion and increases the overall durability of the concrete surface.
In many cases, the increased durability helps slow the progression of moisture-related deterioration mechanisms such as Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) and D-cracking. Additionally, some sealants provide added benefits, including surface hardening and mitigation of paste spalling.

Strengthening Infrastructure with Spray Sealers
SPRAY SEALERS CAN BE A VITAL COMPONENT in concrete pavement preservation (CPP) due to their role in extending the lifespan and maintaining the integrity of concrete surfaces. Key benefits include water resistance, pore blocking and surface densification, vapor permeability and application versatility.
