Has the effect of the system been considered in terms of the rate of carbonation of the concrete surfaces treated with PaviX, in comparison to those that remain untreated?
The unique property of the PaviX CCC100 water repellency helps eliminates the possibility of carbonation from reducing the higher PH levels of the concrete substrate because of its ability to keep the concrete substrate dry and the sealing of the voids and capillaries, further assuring the reinforcing steel an inert environment preventing corrosion of the steel reinforcement. Silanes require the alkali of the concrete substrate to create a reaction, which in turn reduces the PH levels within the concrete substrate. This elimination of the higher PH levels within the concrete substrate accelerates the possibility of carbonation leading to the deterioration of the concrete substrate and increasing the possibility of corroding the steel reinforcing structure.
