V-Seal 101 Concrete Sealer - Benefits


Deep Penetrating Action
By penetrating the concrete surface, V-Seal 101 Concrete Sealer allows enormous benefits over silanes, siloxanes, silicones, silicates, resins, acrylic and other paint-based products that only coat the surface. Underlying moisture movement, hydraulic force and vapor pressure quickly destroy these physically bonded surface coatings (i.e., erosion, wear, peeling, discoloration and flaking, churting, spalling, scaling).

Permanent Chemical Linking
V-Seal 101 Concrete Sealers create a permanent chemical fusion within the concrete. This equates to longer concrete life. This chemically insoluble fusion is what separates V-Seal 101 from other penetrating sealers. While sodium silicates, silica, siloxane, silane, silicone and other silicate products may promote similar properties in penetration and vapor transmission rate, their bond can be dissolved and purged as moisture and water vapor moves within the concrete. V-Seal's insoluble chemical bond in the substrate stands above traditional sealers.

Controlled Surface Penetration
This maximizes sealer effectiveness. Some concrete sealers can penetrate a surface to a depth of 1-2 inches. Originally V-Seal 101 Concrete Sealer was designed in the same manner, however during development scientists felt this was a waste of product performance. By controlling surface penetration, our scientist/chemists have kept V-Seal 101 focused within the top inch (depending on porosity) of the concrete where it is most needed and most effective.

2% Vapor Transmission Rate
While V-Seal 101 Concrete Sealer helps prevent moisture intrusion (drifting chloride ions, etc), it does not block some microscopic capillaries found in concrete. This is very important in concrete preservation as a 2% vapor transmission rate is necessary to endure freeze/thaw and flexing /shifting concrete.

Improved Surface Condition
Because V-Seal 101 Concrete Sealer densifies the concrete surface, it effectively improves endurance to physical wear and erosion. Furthermore, V-Seal 101 Concrete Sealer does not change the surface profile and will not hinder traction.

Waterborne and User-Friendly
V-Seal 101 Concrete Sealers are waterborne and EPA, FDA and OSHA compliant. It is easily and quickly applied (recommended ) with a low-pressure spray system ( i.e. Sureflo 30-50 psi, and pump-up-sprayers ) Clean up is with warm water.

Why use V-Seal?
We don't just pass crucial tests for government, DOT's and special projects, we pass them admirably, unlike some sealers designed to just pass a test enough to earn a credential and squeak by. Try, use and understand the difference.
