Concrete Sealant Removal in Buffalo, NY
An essential aspect of concrete repair and restoration is sealant removal. A sealant on a concrete surface protects the structure from premature wear and discoloration from exposure to the weather, the sun's ultraviolet rays, and heavy traffic.
Sealant Remover & Surface Contaminants
Sealants need a clean surface to bond to the concrete properly. Debris, like dust, dirt, oil, and grease, can cause the sealer to fail, leading to the need for a professional sealant remover in Buffalo, NY. Starting with a cleaner surface helps the sealant bond to the concrete application surface.
Sealant Remover Process
Before applying a new sealer, you must remove the old one using one of two methods: mechanical or chemical removal. Mechanical sealant removal uses machinery like a grinder or sander to blast away the concrete sealant and surface impurities. The method is effective but can be noisy and messy and damage the concrete without sufficient skill and experience.
Chemical sealant removers are suitable for removing all concrete sealers, including epoxy, acrylic, and polyurethane sealers. The chemical sealer removers work by penetrating the coating and stripping it away.
Media Blasting
Remove Surface Contaminants With Media Blasting
Media blasting or sandblasting removes contaminants from a concrete surface using a powerful stream of water and abrasive material inside a pressure washer. It's an effective mechanical technique for removing old sealant from concrete because it is strong enough to strip the sealer and expose the concrete's aggregate.
Blast media is available in several forms, including the following:
Aluminum Oxide: Aluminum oxide blast media is one of the hardest abrasive materials for sandblasting concrete.
Glass Bead: This blast media is more suitable for media blasting metal surfaces and other materials that need to stay clean after blasting.
Steel Shot:
Steel shot blast media is ideal for smoothing concrete and polishing its surface. It has several hardness levels and does not etch materials.
