- Advantages
Unique silane chemistry does not evaporate under site application conditions, allowing for deep penetration (up to 1/2 inch) with consistent protection regardless of substrate or application conditions, such as warm or windy weather. Conventional silane sealers contain highly volatile silanes that evaporate during application, requiring a higher solids content to compensate for product lost through evaporation.; The unique silane in STIFEL VC goes into the concrete, not into the atmosphere.; Protects treated surfaces from damage resulting from the absorption of water and chloride ion-containing deicing salts.; Minimizes concrete freeze/thaw related surface scaling.; Protects treated concrete from developing delaminations and spalls resulting from corrosion of imbedded reinforcing steel.; Minimizes the formation of effl orescence staining and mortar leaching of treated masonry surfaces.; Allows treated surfaces to breathe naturally. Water entering from the unprotected side or via cracks does not become trapped, minimizing surface sweating.; Substantially extends the serviceable life of concrete structures and signifi cantly reduces maintenance costs.; Concrete skid resistance and texture are not altered.; The adhesion bond strength of most sealants and top coats is improved with proper application of STIFEL VC.; Safe and easy to use - single component, water based formulation is very low odor and has a high fl ash point (>200º F/100º C).; Can be safely applied to concrete surfaces containing cured polyurethane, polysulfi de or silicone joint sealants without aff ecting joint sealant performance.; Green Engineered™ – better for health and the environment.; Meets all federal and state VOC requirements.
