What is the CTi concrete system?
The CTi Concrete System is a color integrated, modified acrylic, mixed with portland cement and polymer that is activated with a modified acrylic resin. How long has this product been in use? The CTi manufacturing facility has been producing resurfacing products since 1968. Acrylic Resurfacing has been in use since the early 70’s. Polymer was added to the process in the 80’s to provide a superior bonding process to add strength. How does the product bond with existing concrete? We acid etch and power wash the existing concrete to clean off dirt, remove loose aggregate and open the pores. Next, a hand troweled skim coat of polymer and portland cement is applied to the surface as thin as possible. This allows maximum absorption of the polymer into the existing concrete rather than building up the existing surface. When the polymer dries, it becomes part of the existing concrete. Because the polymer is absorbed and dries as part of the old surface, the polymer strengthens and makes more d
