What is Spray-Lock® Concrete Protection?
Spray-Lock® Concrete Protection (SCP) provides a variety of products that have been specifically designed and tested to restrict the movement of moisture and chemicals that have degrading qualities on concrete.
SCP has been developed to combat the many causes of concrete deterioration through long-lasting, cost-effective coating products. Not only protecting concrete but protecting the asset owner. For instance, with SCP’s Potable Water Certifications many facilities that had to be protected with liners can now use SCP without the messy, long-term application of other products. Like all CharCoat Products, our goal is Asset Protection
Benefits of Spray-Lock® Concrete Protection
SCP technology features three core benefits: concrete durability, waterproofing and floor moisture control.
Concrete durability is vital for any construction, marine, mining or rail project. With an effective coating, concrete can last up to decades longer. This is due to water and contaminates being prevented from moving through the concrete. While concrete is somewhat durable on its own, SCP reduces development of corrosion conditions, enhances resistance to salt and/or chemical attack, and enhances freeze-thaw resistance.
When installing flooring, the last thing you want is moisture issues. Whether in a new construction or an existing space, moisture can make all the work worthless. SCP’s technology offers the quickest protection for your flooring, giving you the confidence that you can meet the demands of floor moisture concern and not lose construction time. SCP products allow flooring to be successfully installed in as little as 14 days after SCP application with no moisture-related failure problems in structurally sound concrete.
While many view concrete as being solid, there are still many ways that water can penetrate and move through it. Cracks, joins and other small openings are all weak points that should be protected to stop water ingress. Not only is waterproofing important for protecting weak points in the concrete structure, assets like tunnels, dams, holding tanks, and below-grade walls usually need additional waterproofing measures to maintain integrity against water.
