TPS XVII

Concrete Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) Inhibitor

Penetrating ASR Inhibitor for Long-Term Concrete Protection

TPS XVII is a surface-applied alkali-silica reaction (ASR) inhibitor designed to penetrate hardened concrete, forming a lithium ion concentration in the cement phase. This treatment prevents ASR-induced expansion and cracking, extending the service life of concrete structures exposed to high-alkali environments.

Key Benefits

✅ Penetrates concrete to mitigate ASR over time.
✅ Prevents new ASR-related cracking and expansion.
✅ Can be applied to fresh or existing concrete.
✅ Verified through ASTM C227 testing with expansion <0.05% at 250 days.
✅ Compatible with coatings, overlays, and repair systems.
✅ Durable, breathable, and environmentally friendly.

Application Guide

Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and free from coatings, paints, or other contaminants that may inhibit penetration. If necessary, clean with SurCoClean before application.

Application Method: Apply using a roller, brush, or airless sprayer. Ensure full saturation of the substrate.

Absorption & Drying: Allow the product to penetrate into the concrete. Typical drying time is 1-2 hours before applying additional treatments.

Reapplication & Compatibility: A minimum of two applications is usually required for full ASR mitigation. Ensure any residue is removed before applying overlays, coatings, or membranes.
