Metallic on Stained Concrete

Monthly Product Highlight:  

With concrete coatings, there are sometimes problems and flaws in the concrete that need to be fixed prior to installation. However for all these flaws, Citadel has a solution.

Fortification Formula - Fortification Formula is a fast setting, high strength, low viscosity modified Polyurea repair material that is very versatile, perfect for repairing and re-building damaged concrete. Hard dry in 10-15 minutes, and vehicle traffic in 30 minutes.

PolyFlex 93 - Polyflex 93 is a two component, 100% solids, VOC Compliant, self-leveling flexible control and expansion joint filler. It cures rapidly and consistently at temperatures ranging from 0º to 120ºF. With a tack-free time of less than 5 minutes, it reduces downtime and allows vehicle or foot traffic in one hour.

FastPatch - Our fast patch kit is a fast and convenient solution for cracks, spalls and minor damage that eliminates the wait normally associated with repairs due to curing. It has zero VOCs, it has an easy to mix 1:1 ratio and no special equipment is required. This kit gives you the advantage of performing repairs in minutes, not hours. This is available in one or two quart kits.
