Clear concrete sealer and other types
While concrete is one of the most
useful materials used today in buildings it is vulnerable and should be
protected. Concrete sealants can increase the strength, and the
usefulness, and the longevity of your concrete work for years and years
to come.
The main weakness in concrete lies in the fact that it is so porous. It
may not be a sponge, but it does absorb liquids in small amounts on the
surface. This liquid can damage in a number of ways. If it is a solvent
(like maybe acid or turpentine) it will slowly ware away the concrete.
You’ll see pits spring up on the surface, sure, but those can be
patched. Underneath, though, the concrete is permanently weakened.
Water also causes an issue. If the water is allowed to freeze, the
molecules will expand and begin to push against the walls of these tiny
holes. The result of this is that the holes become micro cracks and
begin to expand and spread across the surface of the concrete. These
micro cracks can continue to expand and become visible cracks that will
be unsightly and overall weaken your concrete.
A sealant will cover the surface and seal it against water or other
liquids. Many sealants will also help protect your concrete from damage
that can be caused by dropping heavy objects, or even just the ware that
comes from thousands of feet walking over it over the course of years. A
sealant very well may double the effective lifespan of your concrete
surface, and one should always be thought of and kept in mind.
