What does CONCRETE HYDRO do?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

CONCRETE HYDRO hinders the absorption of water and protects concrete from deterioration. <\/span>It also strengthens the surface and prevents chalking (a powdery, chalk-like appearance). <\/span>Additionally, this product limits the growth of algae and mold induced by pollution and smog and prevents the build-up of efflorescences such as carbonates, sulphates and saltpetre. <\/span>The result is a durable and resistant surface that’s also breathable too, whether used for internal or external concrete.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
