Chesterton ARC 988 Composite

Description: A high performance, quartz reinforced composite designed to resurface and restore concrete surfaces, to protect new concrete, and to repair concrete damaged by severe chemical and physical abuse. ARC 988 provides protection against chemical attack from highly aggressive substances including concentrated acids, alkalies and a wide variety of organic solvents. It is a trowelable overlayment which can be used at a thickness as low as 6 mm (1/4”). Its sag resistance makes it ideal for both vertical and horizontal applications. ARC 988 closes easily with a trowel, sealing the surface to prevent chemical attack on the substrate by permeation. The product produces a dense, fine textured surface. Non-shrinking 100% solids. Benefits:Protects concrete and provides chemical containment of concentrated acids such as sulfuric acid up to 98%Fine textured sealed surface produces a tough, durable, chemical resistant, low maintenance overlaymentCompatible thermal coefficient of expansion provides long-term resistance to disbondment.Moisture insensitive primer provides outstanding adhesion to damp concrete, a unique feature for concrete overlaymentsUser friendly consistency makes installation and finishing fast and easyThe reinforcement is engineered to minimize air entrapment and to improve mixingARC 988 is stronger than standard concrete, and its tough resin structure resists mechanical impact.Applications: ARC 988 is generally used to repair and upgrade concrete surfaces or used as a replacement for acid resistant tiles , phenolics, furans, polyesters, sulfonated concretes and other overlayments. It is formulated to be thermally compatible with concrete. ARC 988 has the unusual ability to bond to damp concrete. ARC 988 is chosen over other ARC Composites for Concrete for its superior chemical resistance.
