Foxfire PL-1007
Foxfire PL-1007
CHEMICAL HARDENER, DENSIFIER, SOLUBLE CHLORIDE REDUCER, CURE AND SEAL
BENEFITS
● Blocks and reduces vapor emissions through concrete but leaves concrete breathable
● Purges soluble chlorides and prevents re-entry. Cures and chemically hardens in one application.
● Penetration* depends on density of concrete and masonry substrate. Does not alter bondability
● Economical. No flammable solvents. Cures, seals, hardens and dust-proofs freshly placed concrete
Foxfire PL-1007 is a non-flammable, non-toxic, non-acid sealer that internally strengthens and waterproofs cementious materials. PL-1007 reduces vapor emissions for application of surface coatings such as polyurea, epoxy, urethane, carpet, and for floor tile, sheet vinyl and hardwood flooring materials. It does not alter the bonding of surface coatings. PL-1007 may also reduce radon gas penetration through concrete. PL-1007 has 0% VOCs.
Foxfire PL-1007 reacts with free calcium hydroxide in the concrete forming a silica hydrogel that fills the capillaries within the matrix. This hydrogel waterproofs and seals the substrate after all materials harmful to the concrete are removed. This process could take up to thirty days or longer, depending on the chloride and acidic residual concentration within the capillaries.
In conditions where salt air and humidity attack the concrete, causing oxidation of the reinforcing steel, PL-1007 has proved to halt such corrosion activity. When applied to concrete exposed to such conditions, exfoliation or expulsion of the chlorides takes place.
