Surtreat

The SURTREATŽ process is based on the fact that the deterioration of Portland cement concrete is largely a chemical process which can be inhibited and reversed!

Our process is proven to be the most efficient and cost effective way to restore deteriorating concrete and to offer long-term protection to surfaces exposed to extreme elements.

This process will result in significantly reducing ongoing maintenance costs and eliminating future deterioration and corrosion of concrete structures.

ChemoTHERAPY for CONCRETE CORROSION

Reinforced concrete corrosion, the equivalent of being diagnosed with cancer for anyone owning or operating a concrete structure, is a curable disease without the time and expense of the traditional cut and patch remedy.

The unique SURTREATŽ process increases the ability of concrete to resist chemical and physical breakdown by:

Resisting attack and penetration by acids, salts and other aggressive chemical solutions
Extracting chlorides and pacifying chloride activity
Elevating the pH level of the concrete
Increasing the compressive strength
Decreasing porosity
Pacifying alkali-silica reaction

The SURTREATŽ method, verified through independent and scientific testing, is the most efficient and cost-effective way to restore deteriorating concrete and thus offer long-term protection to all surfaces exposed to extreme environments.

Since 1989, SURTREATŽ Corporation has successfully completed projects, throughout the United States and Canada, for the owners and operators of water treatment plants, parking facilities, hazardous material storage facilities, warehouses, historical monuments and landmarks, food processing plants, heavy manufacturing facilities, bridges, highways and roads, chemical plants, ocean front properties, airport tarmacs and runways, steam and sewage treatment systems, power generation plants, facilities exposed to petroleum, waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities, precast structures, foundations and walkways, and cooling towers.

The performance of SURTREATŽ has been verified on numerous projects as well as through extensive independent laboratory testing. The results of the testing reflect the following:

Compression Strength - ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) C-42 increased by 300 to 2,000 psi depending on original strength and number of applications.

Water Penetration Reduction - 100% resistance after 14 days exposure to 6 inch column of water. 75% resistance after 28 days exposure to 6 inch column of water. 90% resistance after 24 hours when 100 psi is applied.

Freeze Thaw Resistance - ASTM C-672 -50 cycles with no surface loss. AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) T-161 - 146 cycles with no surface loss.

Water-soluble Chloride Reduction - Reduced by 58% and 67% at 1 and 2 inches, respectively.

Increase in Hardness - ASTM C-418 - 14% increase in hardness of new concrete. ASTM C-414 - 64% increase in hardness of deteriorated concrete. ASTM C-501 - 1,000 cycles with a 38% increase in wear index.

Reduced Rebar Corrosion Potential - ASTM C-876 - Half cell potential showed a reduced voltage by 70% in 14 days (0.8 to 0.3)

Reduced Chemical Reactivity - Resists reaction with concentrated hydrochloric acid

Increases pH Level - Edges of concrete increased from 5 to 9, center of concrete increased from 9 to 12.
