PoreShield showcased at World of Concrete 2022

LAS VEGAS — PoreShield was on display at the World of Concrete 2022 in Las Vegas.

Attendees at the Jan. 18-20 conference were able to learn about the product, a soy-based concrete durability enhancer.

“PoreShield is not a coating, but is instead absorbed deep below the concrete surface to protect concrete from within,” said Paul Imbrock, technical lead for PoreShield.

“This cutting-edge, renewable and sustainable technology has proven, powerful performance protecting and preserving new and existing concrete infrastructure including PCCP joints, highways, bridges, buildings, pipes and walkways throughout the nation.”

PoreShield provides protection from coastal salt and moisture damage, as well as deicing and freeze-and-thaw damage.

University and Department of Transportation research studies demonstrate that PoreShield extends the life of concrete by five to nine times and reduces calcium oxychloride formation by 90%.

On average, 400 bushels of soybeans are used for every mile of two-lane bridge receiving a full surface PoreShield treatment.
