Vetrofluid

Concrete Alone Will Crack. Vetrofluid Protects What Concrete Cannot.

You can never truly guarantee concrete — but when Vetrofluid is used, performance is protected.

Without Vetrofluid

  • Concrete is poured and left unprotected

  • Surface moisture escapes too fast

  • Micro-cracks begin to form

  • Water, salts, and chemicals penetrate

  • Cracking, spalling, and deterioration occur

With Vetrofluid®

  • Concrete is cure-sealed in one application

  • Deep penetration densifies the slab

  • Internal voids are reduced

  • Water and chemical intrusion is minimized

  • Concrete strength and durability are significantly improved

Vetrofluid® is permanent waterproofing, protecting concrete from deterioration caused by salts, freeze & thaw cycles, corrosive chemicals and more. It is a formula of proprietary catalysts and selected silicates that allows Vetrofluid® to penetrate existing concrete to depths of 1 1/2 inches on average and penetrates and permanently protects new concrete as a cure up to 3 inches! Vetrofluid® seals the pores of the concrete and becomes a permanent barrier, when applied to either the positive or negative pressure side. Vetrofluid® permanently waterproofs, hardens and protects all types of concrete.

Tech specs, data sheets & test results

PROVEN TO PERMANENTLY PROTECT CONCRETE

Runways, Highways, Buildings, Bridges, Overpasses, Dams, Tunnels, Parking Garages, Wastewater Treatment Plants, Industrial Plants, Drinking Water Tanks, Basements, Underground Walls, anywhere you need to increase the durability of concrete!

Spill water onto concrete and you can observe that water absorbing into the concrete much like a sponge.  When that water freezes and expands, it can cause cracking, spalling, lifting and more.  If oil or fuel is spilled, it can absorb and stain.  Chlorides, acids, contaminants can all absorb or stain or corrode your concrete.  Surface sealers can only treat concrete superficially which is why they need to be (and can be) stripped and reapplied.

Vetrofluid Is Unlike All Other Concrete Treatments

Vetrofluid is non-sacrificial.  Vetrofluid is permanent.  Our proprietary and unique catalyst allows Vetrofluid to penetrate 1.5″ on average into the concrete filling existing voids & cracks even up to .5 mm wide.  Vetrofluid® reacts with the free lime, un-hydrated cement and natural pozzolans that exist in the concrete and when cured becomes a permanent part of the concrete matrix which dramatically improves the life cycle and performance of your concrete while providing a host of other benefits.

Vetrofluid Replaces or Eliminates the Need for Other Products

VETROFLUID REPLACES CONCRETE FILM FORMING SACRIFICIAL CURES

New concrete can be treated with Vetrofluid shortly after bleed water has dissipated and finishing operations have been completed. Concrete treated with Vetrofluid as a cure does not need a separate cure and will not need to be cleaned after curing.

Vetrolfuid is also being used as a release agent on forming wood & plywood.  The simple application is very fast and highly effective.  Regular plywood of various grades treated with Vetrofluid reduce complexity and costs by eliminating the need for epoxy based, VOC containing form release agents or specialty APA polyform panels.

New concrete cured with, or existing concrete treated with Vetrofluid does not require and will not accept a separate densifier.  Concrete treated with Vetrofluid can be mechanically polished just as any other densified concrete.
