The Ashford Formula densifies using one-of-a-kind and unrivalled catalytic chemistry. The Ashford Formula was created about 70 years ago as an alternative to coatings. When this product first hit the market, many critics couldn’t believe that a single substance could permanently render floor surfaces resistant to abrasion, simple to clean, and dust-free.

They have been proven false by nearly seven decades of performance. These long-term outcomes are accomplished by the use of a one-of-a-kind and unrivalled catalytic chemistry. The idea is simple: a concrete floor surface is internally densified by crystalline development. A similar process hardens the concrete and binds the particles together. There is nothing to wear out, scuff, or damage because the chemistry is inorganic.

Concrete flooring must be long-lasting. The Ashford Formula renders concrete resistant to abrasion. In fact, abrasion testing suggests that an Ashford Formula-treated floor will be 32% tougher within 30 minutes of treatment. Over time, the treated concrete will continue to harden. The Ashford Formula can also be used to augment surface and aggregate hardeners.

The Ashford Formula, when applied as a curing agent, reduces the outward migration of water from concrete. Its chemical reaction creates a densified barrier, which prevents shrinkage, cracking, and hairline checks. And we have the testing to back it up.

Concrete flooring must be dust-free. Concrete produces dust naturally as a result of efflorescence, which settles on completed objects, racks, and equipment. The Ashford Formula combines with the salts in concrete to become an integral part of the concrete, dust-proofing the surface completely. This significantly saves maintenance expenses while also protecting sensitive equipment and produced goods from dust particles.

The Ashford Formula lowers building expenses. It simply requires one permanent application. This avoids the need to apply a curing membrane, which must be removed later from the floor. Because it stabilises the surface, the Ashford Formula considerably prevents crazing, or “map cracking,” when employed at the time of installation. This feature of the Ashford Formula makes it particularly suitable for outdoor applications, as it renders the concrete resistant to freeze-thaw damage. The Ashford Formula removes the need for costly maintenance-intensive floor coverings such as urethanes, waxes, acrylics, and others.

Because the Ashford Formula permanently densifies concrete, foreign matter including oil, alkali, free lime, and road scum may be readily removed with routine cleaning. A regular maintenance programme for any floor is strongly suggested to eliminate surface pollutants, and any acids or other corrosive compounds should be removed from the floor promptly.
