Frigid winter months are tough on concrete. Between the ice-melting salt and snow plows rumbling through, your concrete is bound to succumb to a few cracks throughout the winter. Fortunately, Chemical Concepts stocks a wide range of concrete and other masonry sealants to keep your project looking like brand-new, even through the harshest weather conditions.

How Do Sealers Work?

Sealers work to protect the surface in question from damage, corrosion, and staining. They either block the pores in the surface to reduce water and salt absorption or they form an impermeable layer, stopping materials from sticking to the surface.

Sealing concrete increases the longevity of the surface in question and can even help prevent oil stains if the right sealer is used. Today, we want to highlight a few of our favorite concrete sealers and help distinguish which sealer is right for your specific project.

Sikagard Water-Based Acrylic Protective Sealer

Sikagard 670W is a colored, acrylic protective coating that prevents moisture permeation in concrete and other masonry. Sikagard 670W is water-vapor permeable and provides a carbonation barrier to aesthetically enhance and protect the surface from environmental changes such as sun fading, moisture, snow, salt damage, and more.

Some other great advantages to using Sikagard 670W include:

• Dirt and mildew resistance
• UV resistance
• Weathering resistance
• Vapor permeable

DRY-TREAT 40SK for Soft, Porous Stone

• Building facades
• Floors
