SCP 743 is formulated to address structural concrete remediation issue such as: -Rebarcorrosion -De-icingchemical&freeze-thawdamage - Concrete contamination -Moisturemigration - Porous concrete -Efflorescence -Alkali-aggregatereactivity -Concretecarbonation

SCP 743 is a spray-applied concrete treatment that enhances concrete remediation practices by providing the following benefits: • Penetrates deep to passivate reinforcing steel • Waterproofs the concrete by forming a colloidal gel within the concrete capillaries and pores • Can purge contaminants from the concrete capillary and pore structure • Improves concrete pH to help protect the reinforcing steel • Locks in free alkali to mitigate efflorescence
