Unlike even the best concrete sealer or the best concrete coating, CreteDefender P2 is permanent. It is a silicate-reactive penetrating solution that reacts internally deep within your concrete to fill pores and harden the slab. The result is a stronger, denser, and longer lasting concrete that will withstand all the punishment you can dish out!

Not even the best concrete sealer can boast the permanent concrete protection you get with this penetrating silicate reactive agent.

Concrete sealers are going to wear out. Scaling concrete- the best concrete coating will not stop this.
Concrete coatings are going to wear off.

No doubt. It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

And to keep the protection offered by your sealer or coating, you will need to apply it again… in a timely fashion.

How will you know when your concrete sealer is no longer effective?

Yep, you guessed it. When the concrete starts breaking down.
And by then, what good is even the best concrete sealer on a deteriorating surface?

Why not start right, right away, and apply something permanent to your concrete? CreteDefender P2 will work on freshly poured concrete, or on good existing concrete. One application of colorless, eco-friendly CreteDefender P2 will keep your concrete looking good, prevent salt damage, freeze/thaw damage, keep most chemicals out, and end dusting and scaling of concrete surfaces forever.

Concrete driveway protection, concrete sidewalk protection, concrete stair protection, concrete floor protection… all can be done permanently for the same or less money than the best concrete coating or best concrete sealer is going to cost you. And you only have to invest once, instead of re-investing over and over again.

The appearance of your property and the safety of your guests are of the utmost priority.  The first impression each visitor has of your facility is the entry. Crumbling concrete immediately affects your guest’s experience. And if a guest trips or falls because of damaged concrete, the costs can be significant.

We all know that salt and ice-melting chemicals destroy the concrete we are trying to keep safe.  Over time, the deterioration creates an unsightly appearance and tripping hazards. (Not to mention the damage created to your maintenance budget to fix these problems!)  Even if you don’t apply salt to your property, visitors’ cars carry road salt with them, enough to damage your entry.  With CreteDefender, you don’t have to choose any more between safety and appearance.

CreteDefender penetrates deep into the concrete, permanently sealing and protecting the concrete from salt and freeze/thaw damage.

Use CreteDefender on your entrances, sidewalks, patios, pool decks…anywhere you have concrete.

Protect your investment. Protect your guest experience. Protect yourself from pedestrian accidents. With CreteDefender!

Food Processing https://cretedefender.com/2010/05/08/food-processing-2/ https://cretedefender.com/2010/05/08/food-processing-2/#comments Sun, 09 May 2010 01:03:35 +0000 http://allansolutions.com/?p=1308 Shopping Residential Hospitality Public Facilities Schools

Food Processing plants represent a number of unique challenges.

  • Constant exposure to water, causing erosion
  • Exposure to pressure washing  and damaging chemicals
  • Exposure to salts and brines, which destroy the concrete from inside the concrete
  • Exposure to acids (vinegars, citric and acetic acids, etc.), which destroy the concrete both on and beneath the surface
  • USDA, SQF inspections and GFSI standards, where compliance to standards is critical to your company’s success

CreteDefender will:

  • Make the concrete impervious to salt damage.
  • Greatly reduce the damage due to acids.
  • Harden the concrete to substantially reduce damage from constant water exposure and regular pressure washing.
  • Eliminate dusting and scaling of the concrete.
  • Not flake or peel. CreteDefender is not a coating, and requires no maintenance…ever.
  • Greatly extend the useful life of your concrete floor.
  • Greatly reduce the number and frequency of  mandated repairs to your concrete floors.

CreteDefender is MSF approved

CreteDefender is approved by the NSF as a non-food compound acceptable for use in food processing areas.  Check out our Chemical Resistance Tests for CreteDefender’s results on specific chemicals.
