Help repairing cement floor in anodize shop




We need to do some repair to the concrete floor in our process area. Looking for info on an additive for cement to make it more water & chemical resistant, to be strong with a thin coat, & be able to apply to damp floor. Can anyone recommend a product?

Concrete can cure under water, so it is possible to do this. But the floor of an anodizing shop should be dry, period, and you might want to expend some effort figuring out why the floor is not dry and what you really need to make it so. Please see my library article "Plating Shops for the 90's and Beyond".

The one thing I would not recommend is the hot sulfurized concrete. Not that it's a bad product, but installation seems to require project management skills beyond the abilities of many shops. I say this only because I've only heard of it being used twice by plating shops and both occasions were disasters.
