Concrete Building Repair & Protection | Prevent Corrosion & Strengthen Structures

The Problem: Corrosion & Deterioration in Concrete Buildings
Over time, reinforced concrete buildings are susceptible to corrosion, cracking, and moisture infiltration. Factors like chloride intrusion, freeze-thaw cycles, and water ingress accelerate rebar corrosion and structural degradation. Without proper treatment, concrete spalling and loss of integrity can lead to expensive repairs and safety concerns.
The Solution: Surtreat’s Three-Part Concrete Building Protection System
Surtreat provides a proven multi-step system to stop corrosion, strengthen concrete, and prevent moisture ingress:
- TPS XII: Vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor (VCI) that migrates through concrete and protects embedded rebar.
- TPS II: Concrete densifier that strengthens the matrix and reduces porosity for enhanced durability.
- Repel WB: Silane/siloxane water repellent that prevents water penetration and chloride attack.
Application Process: How to Protect & Restore Concrete Buildings
Step 1: Surface Cleaning
- Ensure the concrete surface is clean and free of contaminants before treatment.
- Use pressure washing or mechanical cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and coatings.
Step 2: Apply TPS XII
- Apply TPS XII to halt existing corrosion and form a passivating layer around embedded steel.
- Migrates through the concrete, preventing further chloride-induced corrosion.
Step 3: Apply TPS II
- Apply TPS II to increase compressive strength, reduce porosity, and enhance structural integrity.
- Helps reinforce aging concrete and minimize further deterioration.
Step 4: Apply Repel WB
- Final application of Repel WB forms a hydrophobic surface barrier.
- Protects concrete from moisture penetration, freeze-thaw damage, and chloride ingress.
Results: Why Surtreat’s Concrete Building Protection System Works
✅ Extended Building Service Life – Stops corrosion and protects concrete from further damage.
✅ Increased Strength & Durability – TPS II improves concrete density, reducing cracking and deterioration.
✅ Long-Term Corrosion Inhibition – TPS XII protects rebar, preventing rust formation and structural failures.
✅ Waterproofing & Chloride Protection – Repel WB blocks water infiltration and minimizes freeze-thaw cycles.
✅ Cost-Effective Maintenance – Reduces long-term repair costs by extending the life of existing concrete structures.
