FAIRCRETE 16 - Dust Proofer and Surface Hardner for Concrete

INTRODUCTION

FAIRCRETE 16 is a colorless, transparent non-toxic aqueous solution which when applied on fresh concrete surfaces reacts with free lime and seals the pores. This produces a core-hardened surface that blocks the pores of the concrete thus protecting the surface attack by mild chemicals, oils, fats and grease. It is a water based sealer that penetrates concrete and masonry building materials, protecting, preserving, and strengthening them. FAIRCRETE 16 is not only a remedy for existing floors but should be considered as a vital part of the specifications for new floor.

BENEFITS

  • READY MIXED : FAIRCRETE 16 is supplied as a ready to use product.
  • SEALS : FAIRCRETE 16 penetrates deep into the Portland cement based materials, concrete and other materials concrete forming a chemical reaction that locks the pores from within, converting the concrete into a solid densified mass and providing a deep permanent seal on all types of concrete surfaces.
  • EFFECTIVE DUSTPROOFING PROPERTIES : The concrete creates dust from efflorescence naturally which settles on finished goods, racks and equipment. FAIRCRETE 16 chemically reacts with the salts in the concrete and permanently eliminates the release of concrete dust through the pores.
  • GOOD ABRASION RESISTANCE : FAIRCRETE 16 makes concrete abrasion resistant.
  • ELIMINATES HIGH MAINTENANCE COSTS : As FAIRCRETE 16 permanently seals the concrete, the concrete can be easily washed off with a mop or soapy water.
  • Economical to use.
  • Chloride free.
  • Non-toxic and non-flammable.

FUNCTIONS

  • FAIRCRETE 16 seals, dust proofs, hardens the concrete surfaces.
  • Protects against dusting, pitting, palling, efflorescence and temperature cracking in concrete.
  • Inhibits freeze thaw deterioration.
  • Neutralizes excess internal alkali from concrete.
  • Requires no thinners and primers.

USES

FAIRCRETE 16 is primarily recommended for use in:
  • New concrete surfaces such as concrete floors, concrete blocks and granolithic pavings
  • New or old, rough or smooth surfaces
  • Factories
  • Warehouses
  • Garages
  • Depots

APPLICATION METHOD

SURFACE PREPARATION
Grind the floor with the marble grinding machine but ensure that the top surface is not removed. If there are any cracks or potholes then repair the same with EPOXY REPAIR SYSTEMS. Wash the surface with clean water and then remove excess water from the surface. Please ensure that before starting the application the surface is thoroughly dry so that FAIRCETE 16 can penetrate into the concrete.
SAFETY
Avoid contact of the material with skin and eyes. Wear appropriate gloves and eye protection during use. Wash off with soap and water if the material comes into contact with the skin. Any eye contamination must be washed with copious amounts of water and immediate medical attention should be taken.
