Clean the Concrete, but Don't Damage the Architectural Metal - The Cleaning of the Kauffman Center
The curved architectural metal and pre-cast concrete of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts form an iconic part of the Kansas City skyline. So to remove black staining on the concrete, they had to choose a cleaner that would clean the concrete but not etch the metal of this amazing piece of architecture.

The Chemistry Behind Masonry Cleaners
When it comes to the chemistry of masonry cleaners, you need to beyond the product marketing. Jake, Chris, and Dan set up a demonstration with two acidic masonry cleaners. Both cleaners in the demonstration are acidic. One is a traditional new masonry cleaner, and the other is marketed as a “detergent,” “synthetic acid” or even a “non-acid acidic cleaner.” See what happens when a small drop of each product is applied to the substrates of concrete block, limestone, and sandstone.

How to prevent spalling and pitting in concrete with Saltguard
Watch John and Javier demonstrate how Saltguard products work to protect concrete from pitting, spalling, deterioration and other harmful, damaging effects of de-icing salts and winter weather. Cracks can occur in concrete for a variety of reasons, some of which are beyond our control. Here's something that's in our control: Reducing damage to our concrete driveways, sidewalks, walkways and other hard surfaces that can occur from chloride salts and freeze-thaw cycles common in winter. Salt is commonly spread onto sidewalks and driveways in the winter to make surfaces more slip-resistant, but the effects of salt seeping into the porous concrete can cause long-lasting damage and other hazards. Protecting yourself and your concrete from this damage is really simple with one easy application of Saltguard, Saltguard WB or Saltguard VOC. Just one application can last up to 10 years. Watch our demo to see how one application repels salt and water and prevents it from ever entering the substrate.
