How does the Ashford Formula work?
Curing The Ashford Formula controls hairline checking and temperature cracking on new concrete
Sealing The Ashford Formula penetrates deep into the concrete forming a chemical reaction that locks the pores from within providing a deep permanent seal on all types of concrete surfaces.
Hardening The Ashford Formula chemically reacts with the salts in the concrete permanently eliminating the release of concrete dust through the surface pores.
Neutralizing Alkali As the Ashford Formula progressively penetrates the concrete it neutralizes the alkali forcing them to the surface where they can be washed away during the application.
Bonding The Ashford Formula prepares the treated surface for paints, caulking compounds, adhesives and floor coverings by eliminating the surface concrete salts that are so detrimental to proper bonding
Notes on the Ashford Formula
Apply the Ashford Formula to coloured concrete only after the slab is fully cured. Do not apply the Ashford Formula in the following cases: - to seal lightweight block or other extremely porous masonry that contains actual holes or pockets
- when the temperature falls below 35 degrees F / 2 degree C
- to areas previously treated with curing or sealing agents unless these coatings have been removed by chemical or mechanical means
