What happens if salt is added to concrete?

The answer is yes, salt does indirectly damage your concrete driveways, patios and sidewalks. Bumps and potholes don't just appear due to regular wear and tear – salt damages concrete over time by causing corrosion to occur under the surface, leading to discolored, cracked and crumbling concrete.

What is Saltguard WB?

PROSOCO’s Saltguard WB is a water-based, VOC-compliant repellent that provides excellent protection against salt damage to concrete and masonry. It works by penetrating deeper than conventional water or solvent-based repellents, making it ideal for protecting concrete from salt damage. Furthermore, in coastal areas, Saltguard WB protects against salt damage to concrete caused by high sodium chloride levels in the air. This type of water repellent acts as a chloride screen by penetrating and chemically bonding with the substrate to protect against water and salt damage.

How to use Saltguard WB?

Preparation

Direct contact from the spray should be avoided. You should also protect other surfaces from the spray. Despite its minimal odor, you will need to ensure proper ventilation before using Saltguard WB. Before application, the entire surface area should be thoroughly cleaned using the appropriate PROSOCO products. Sealers, curing compounds, oil, grease and rust should be completely removed, as such contaminants can alter the penetration and bonding of Saltguard WB. For best results, apply Saltguard WB on visibly dry surfaces. Damp surfaces reduce penetration, as they serve as a barrier between the product and the concrete surface. Excessive moisture may also reduce the effects of the treatment.

Application

Care must be taken to ensure that the surface is duly prepared before starting the application. Prior to application, a patch test should be conducted for each type of surface to ensure suitability. The test area should be inspected upon drying, and the process only carried forward if the results are positive with no blotchy stains. The application must be done in a shaded area, and the containers should be stored out of direct sunlight. It is recommended that you apply the repellent in high volume and low pressure (<50 psi) using a fan-type tip. Brushes or rollers can also be used for small scale application. Smooth, uniform saturation of the surface with the spray is important, and any pools or puddles should be immediately brushed out.
