How can preventative maintenance help reduce your concrete floor repair costs?

June 28, 2011 Posted by: Delta Chemicals

If you just had your concrete floor repaired of cracks or if your concrete floor is brand new, giving your floor some attention on a regular basis can not only save you time and money, but can also help in keeping your concrete floor lasting longer.  Regular maintenance can minimize cracking among other problems and reduce the need for repairs.

A common misconception is that a concrete floor is a material that can stand on its own without any type of preventative maintenance. The truth is that concrete floors take a beating on a regular basis. High traffic areas and in places of chemical production are especially vulnerable. These problems can reduce productivity if a vehicle needs to slow down to navigate on the surface. If your floor needs repair, Delta Chemicals recommends the use of All-Krete, an easy to use one step, ready to use, repair kit for any size crack or hole.  All-Krete cures within 1 hour providing a cost effective way to repair your concrete floor and eliminates costly shut down time.

Sustaining a cleaning schedule will help to reduce deterioration. Along with keeping the concrete floor clean and free of debris on a regular basis, Delta Chemicals recommends Epoxy Floor Sealer #7300. This one step, fast drying kit is ready to use and will stand up to the common problems associated with chemical spills, dust, moisture, oils, stains and more. There is no mixing required and is easily applied with a brush or roller.

With proper housekeeping and an application schedule of Epoxy Floor Sealer #7300, you can keep your concrete floor in long lasting, tip top shape and keep repair costs to a minimum.

What is the best way to repair a large crack in a foundations ?

February 22, 2010 Posted by: Delta Chemicals

Cracks, both large and small, in any type of concrete foundations are serious. They can become wider and lead to major types of repairs, lead to water seepage, and are dangerous in manufacturing and warehouse areas, since they cause unsafe effects for vehicles and forklifts.

To address theses issues, Delta Chemical developed, ALL-KRETE.

This is a unique polyester repair kit, that contains only 2 components..40lbs of a special powder or aggregate + 1 gallon of liquified Polyester. While traditionally Epoxies have been used, Polyester is different, in that it hardens 3 times harder than cement, fills any size crack or hole, and hardens in 30 minutes. We even have a formula that is widely used in The food industry and in Alaka, This formula sets at minus 30 degrees. Plants and operations no longer have to shutdown to make a repair. Preparation of the area is easy. Just clean with a good degreaser, like Delta Chemical’s “Power Clean”.

There is never any shrinkage, so repairs stay put and are permanent!

Delta chemicals also recommends a good coating of concrete sealer and/or nonslip coatings, for added safety and durability.

Permanent Repairs to Concrete

Conrete RepairThe repair of concrete is a major problem that is now easily addressed with specialty, easy-to-use kits.

Factors that need to be weighed when selecting the right repair compound, range from depth and size of pothole, crack, or expansion joint, movement in the area, to temperatures during the actual repair.

Delta even offers products to repair walls and ceilings…Ease of use of epoxy, latex and polyester formulas, even allow the repair to be made in less than 1 hour, and will work in sub-zero temperatures, and are designed to be permanent.

New research has allowed for “minimum preparation” of the surface to be repaired; often just cleaning and removing embedded broken pieces is sufficient. Repairs are simple in even the harshest environments, and often with virtually no “shut-down” in plant operations. Products will easily take forklift and heavy traffic.

Ideal for distribution warehouses, cement slabs, bridges and tunnels, airplane runways, loading docks, food processing plants, driveways and general production facilities.
