PWS1000 Penetrating Top Coat is a new product for us.
1. It is the sealant that would be applied to all commercial
buildings. We have sealed three buildings for Cissell-Mueller
thus far.
2. It is the second sealant that is applied to all concrete jobs.
It is a moisture vapor barrier that prevents anything from penetrating
the surface but allows the moisture from within or below to escape.
3. It is offered as an "option" to customers who seal
wood. When you apply the SealMaxx sealant you can apply a wood
stain to the deck surface if you choose. If you apply the PWS1000
you CANNOT stain over it because we have completely sealed all
the pores of the wood, thus a stain will not adhere. But if the
customer likes the "natural wood" look we achieve in
our cleaning process, the application of the PWS1000 will be an
additional insurance policy and it WILL make the water bead up
on the surface.

AASHTO T-259 |
Measure the resistance of concrete with
PWS 1000 to Chloride Ion Penetration |
United States Testing Company, Inc.
Tulsa Division |
Untreated concrete
had 15 times the Chloride Ion content than concrete treated
with PWS 1000 |
ASTM 793-75 |
Measure the effects of accelerated weathering
on Silicone Rubber |
General Electric Company |
After a total of 4000
hours, the silicone rubber showed no signs of deterioration.
It was estimated that 4000 hours of accelerated weathering
is equivalent to 30 years of actual weathering in the field.

No significant change
was noted in frictional properties of concrete after treatment
with PWS 1000 |
ASTM E-514 |
Measure the water penetration and leakage
through masonry surfaces treated with PWS 1000 |
Olympic Scientific, Inc. |
Masonry surfaces treated
with PWS 1000 allowed no water penetration |
ASTM E-514-90 |
Measure the water penetration and leakage
through carib brick and S mortar treated with PWS 1000 |
Olympic Scientific, Inc. |
Carib brick and S
mortar treated with PWS 1000 allowed no water penetration
|
ASTM E-96 |
Determine the permeability of concrete
sealed with PWS 1000 |
United States Testing Company, Inc.
Tulsa Division |
Concrete treated with
PWS 1000 retained up to 41% of its original water vapor
transmission capability |
ASTM E-96 |
Measure the water vapor permeability
of brick treated with PWS 1000 |
GEOSCIENCE LTD |
Brick samples treated
with PWS 1000 retained 86% of their water vapor permeability
capabilities |
ASTM E-96 Procedure B |
Measure of permeability of PWS 1000
|
General Testing Laboratories, Inc. |
The permeance of PWS
1000 ranges between 10 and 14 perms |

Measure the cured compressive strength
of freshly poured concrete treated with PWS 1000 |
United States Testing Company, Inc.
Tulsa Division |
Freshly poured concrete
treated with PWS 1000 experienced a 13.7% increase in Compressive
strength over untreated concrete after a 28 day cycle |
N/A |
Measure the changes in gas permeability
and water transmission of concrete treated with PWS 1000
|
United States Testing Company, Inc.
Tulsa Division |
Concrete treated with
PWS 1000 was able to "breath" or pass water vapor
through the sealant. Water absorption of untreated concrete
was 91.7% greater than that of concrete treated with PWS
1000 |
