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.

Range of Green Products - FAIRMATE

INTRODUCTION

Due to global warming the temperature is rising day by day and has become a concern for both the environment and human life.

The concept of Green Building has evolved to create environment friendly buildings and reduce the overall impact on human health. LEED certification is the recognized standard for measuring building sustainability. Achieving LEED certification is the best way to demonstrate that your building project is truly "green."

Insulation of concrete is an important factor because it provides an ultra-efficient, high mass, high strength, and very durable building shell that keeps occupants of the building/ home healthy and comfortable.

Proper insulation of walls, ceilings and floors significantly reduces the loss of heat to the outdoors. Insulation will pay for itself in fuel cost savings and home comfort. This can save >30 percent of home heating bills and reduce CO emissions. Whenever you save energy, 2 you not only save money but also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal, oil, and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO ), the 2 primary contributor to global warming and other pollutants. We offer a range of insulation options to ensure that we have the best solution for your home in your budget.

We, FAIRMATE have introduced eco-friendly energy saving products for Green Building certification for the development of our environment. Already, we have started formalities for getting approval from concerned International Authority for our energy saving Green Building products.

All of these products are designed to reflect 90% of the radiant energy of the sun and resists the ultraviolet degradation

HOW IT WORKS AGAINST SOLAR ENERGY ?

When solar radiation strikes on uncoated roof, it is converted into Infra Red radiation. This radiated energy passes down through the roof and is absorbed by building components i.e. wall, ceiling, etc. Due to solar energy conservation, electricity consumption increases. An untreated roof or building component reflects less and absorbs more heat hence, temperature inside the building rises drastically.

WATERGUARD I has got a high reflectivity when applied on roof and building exteriors. It acts as a radiant barrier which initially absorbs solar energy and then releases the heat which avoids high temperature formation in a room.

Any built-up energy in a building is absorbed back through the roof, allowing the building to cool rapidly. Traditional roof materials retain heat in a building throughout the night because of their low emitance values. The density of the ceramic particles resists wear and degradation from ultra violet radiation, extending the useful life of the system. The insulating effect of the products remains constant throughout its useful life.

Normally, illumination consumes about 15% electricity in domestic use. FAIRMATE make insulation products cuts down the power consumption and saves electricity tariff (charges) upto 30%. At the same time, it protects the environment by reducing the amount of energy that is generated to heat buildings, thereby decreasing the amount of pollution released into the air. By the application of these products, we can reduce the consumption of the electricity and conserve energy.

CONCLUSION

The insulation coatings when applied to a roof can lower the roof temperatures thereby decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building's interior. These coatings can save energy and money over the life of a roof or walls by reducing the amount of air conditioning needed to keep a building comfortable. In addition to this, these products can potentially minimize the effects associated with thermal shock, reduce UV degradation and extend the life of the roofs and walls. Also, they provide the easiest and most effective way to:

• Save money (> 30%) on your energy bills
• Improve the overall comfort level of your home
• Increase the value of your home and
• Do your part to help conserve our nation's limited energy resources

These products also reduce the amount of energy needed to cool buildings which helps to reduce the production of air pollutants as well.

FAIRCOAT E-GREEN

FAIRCOAT E-GREEN

Environment friendly protective and decorative coating for interiors and exteriors

The Basis of Eco Friendly Paints

Natural ingredients are at the heart of the unique qualities of FAIRCOAT EGREEN. The binder is liquid silicate whose structural form and hardness is perfectly compatible with its inorganic colorants and the inorganic concrete and masonry structures it is applied to.

Penetration Property

The principle strength of silicate paints is their penetration within the substrate. This results in a solid mineral and insoluble compound of paint and substrate (concrete, natural stone, marble, etc). The cross-section through the render shows this penetration, which is also known as silification. This chemical bond locks the paints into the subsurface as opposed to organic coatings that sit on the surface.

Factors Affecting Penetration Depth

While penetration depth may not be critical for many architectural applications, greater penetration will have a significant effect on strength and durability of applications on cement based substrates, porous stone and traffic bearing surfaces. Penetration depth is influenced by the substrate's pore structure and permeability, moisture content and surface preparation.

When FAIRCOAT E-GREEN is applied to suitable substrates, it penetrates and reacts to form a hard, insoluble silicate. It can also increase substrate hardness, particularly in cementitious materials. When applied to materials containing Portland cement, the silicate reacts with incompletely hydrated cement particles, converting unreacted calcium hydroxide (CaOH2 or hydrated lime) to harder calcium silicate hydrates.

Water Vapour Permeability

The high water vapour permeability of silicate paints is due to their crystalline nature which ensures that humidity present in the masonry can freely pass from the substrate. Thus water cannot build up between the paint and the substrate - which normally leads to paint cracking/ blistering and being pushed off the surface. Instead, the substrate remains dry and the breathability of the building is maintained.

Incombustibility

FAIRCOAT E-GREEN do not burn, unlike emulsion and other organic based paints. In the event of a fire breaking out, damage to the substrate is reduced and the paint does not give off any toxic fumes.

No Fungus, Algae or Mold

The pure inorganic inert composition and high pH of silicate paints prevents any fungi, algae or mold growth, thus assuring a hygenic and clean paint layer. The absence of surface condensation due to the coatings high water vapor permeability, promotes a clean, healthy environment. Traditional organic paints provide smooth film coatings that do not breathe, attract moisture and fungi, algae and mold spores. Toxic mold growth is the number one health problem in building structures today. FAIRCOAT E-GREEN can improve the health of the building environment.

Environmentally Safe

This water based Silicate paints are harmless to the environment, consisting of natural mineral compounds including quartz, inorganic mineral colorants and liquid silicate used as a binder. Silicate paints represent a technology which has no detrimental effects on the environment in terms of manufacturing as well as in terms of application. Under fire conditions no toxic fumes evolve as the FAIRCOAT E-GREEN does not ignite.

Thus FAIRCOAT E-GREEN is Breathable, Moisture Resistant, Does not contribute to growth of mold, algae or mildew, Durable and UV Resistant; does not yellow, fade or peel.

CORROSION INHIBITOR

What is Corrosion ?

Corrosion is the destructive attack to metal by a chemical or electrochemical reaction with its Environment. The terms corrosion and rusting are often used interchangeably. The term “rust” typically is applicable to ferrous materials, iron and steel. The most term to use is "corrosion" because it is inclusive of non-ferrous metals as well.

Passivity of Steel

Under certain conditions steel is passive, where the corrosion rate for the metal is relatively low. Iron is considered an active-passive metal and therefore steel behaves similarly. Passivity, defined simply, refers to a loss of chemical reactivity under certain conditions. Steel achieves this by having a passive film form along its surface.

Corrosion Factors

The cement paste in concrete is alkaline with a pH typically between 12 and 14. This paste surrounds reinforcing steel in concrete. Many researchers believe this alkaline environment facilitates the protective passive film around the steel. The passive film is not invulnerable, though. It can be damaged both chemically and mechanically.

Some examples of chemical damage are carbonation and chloride ingress. Carbonation is the result of the reaction of atmospheric carbon dioxide and hydroxides in the cement paste. Through this reaction carbonates and water are formed. The carbonates that form from this reaction consume the hydroxides present and therefore can lower the pH of the concrete below the value of 8.0. This action causes the steel to depassivate, leaving it susceptible to attack from corrosives. The likelihood of this occurrence is relative to the impermeability characteristics of the concrete. Adequate depths of the concrete cover for the bars and the use of good quality concrete mixes have, greatly reduced the concern for carbonation and its effect on corrosion. Ingress of chlorides, on the other hand, is far more destructive to the steel. These damaging chlorides are common in concrete environments. They are mainly present in marine environments and in deicing salts, however they can also be due to concrete admixtures containing chlorides and chloride contaminated cements, aggregates, and batch water.

Concrete is a permeable material and thus will absorb moisture. Different mixtures of concrete have different rates of moisture infusion. Along with moisture, oxygen and chlorides also diffuse through the uncracked concrete to the surface of the steel. A cathodic reaction is induced by the presence of these elements. The moisture and chlorides act as an electrolyte which facilitate the flow of ionic current. The chlorides initiate corrosion and oxygen fuels the reaction. It is reason able to expect that the lower the absorption and permeability of the concrete, the longer corrosion requires to initiate.

The two most common causes of reinforcement corrosion are (i) localized breakdown of the passive film on the steel by chloride ions and (ii) general breakdown of passivity by neutralization of the concrete, predominantly by reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sound concrete is an ideal environment for steel but the increased use of deicing salts and the increased concentration of carbon dioxide in modern environments principally due to industrial pollution, has resulted in corrosion of the rebar becoming the primary cause of failure of this material. The scale of this problem has reached alarming proportions in various parts of the world.

Corrosion Inhibitors

The rate of corrosion can also be reduced by using corrosion inhibitors. These inhibitors are chemical compounds that reduce the corrosion rate of metals existing in actively corrosive environments. This is accomplished by using corrosion inhibitors or reducing the rate of chloride ingress to the steel reinforcement. Corrosion inhibitor is a liquid added to concrete during the batching process. It chemically inhibits the corrosive action of chlorides on reinforcing steel and pre stressed strands in concrete. It also promotes strength development of the concrete while meeting ASTM C 494, Type C admixture.
