Ashford Formula is a chemically reactive liquid that penetrates theconcrete, solidifying the concrete surface components into a solid mass.It produces a permanently denser, harder, penetration and abrasionresistant concrete surface. Ashford Formula is inorganic, nontoxic, VOC free, colorless and odorless.Ashford Formula densifies concretesurfaces into a solid mass bypenetrating the concrete andchemically filling the pores from within.Ashford Formula chemically hardensthe concrete surface, increasing theabrasion resistance by 32%.ABRASIONRESISTANC EDENSIFIESDUSTPROOFSPERMANENTSHEENDENSIFYAshford Formula combines withcalcium hydroxide, becoming anintegral part of the concrete, thuscompletely dustproofing the surface.This reduces maintenance costs andprotects inventory and equipment fromconcrete dust.Ashford Formula reacts immediately,chemically stabilizing the finishedconcrete surface. It also acceleratesand enhances hydration of theportland cement, helping the concretereach its design properties.CURESOver time, Ashford Formula treatedfloors develop a wax-like sheen. Asa floor is subjected to traffic andregular cleaning, the machine-troweledconcrete self-polishes, instead oferoding or wearing away.E L I M I N AT E S H I G HMAINTENANC E C OSTSApplication of the Ashford Formula is aone-time, permanent application. Thiseliminates the need for expensivere-application materials, labor costsand facility downtime. Routine surfacecleaning is all that is required for longterm maintenance.FOR STRONGER, TOUGHER CONCRETE FLOORSFor years, concrete floors were protected with films and coatings - merely temporary solutions which wear away and require re-application. AshfordFormula takes a different approach by penetrating the concrete surface, growing crystals in the concrete itself. This reaction fills the natural pores andvoids in the concrete, densifying the surface internally.x2500NON-DENSIFIED CONCRETEA simple scratch test with a metalobject demonstrates the softness ofnon-densified concrete.This non-densified concretesample reveals the porousstructure of concrete, which leadsto wear and deterioration.x2500ASHFORD FORMULA DENSIFIED CONCRETEScratching a concrete surfacedensified with Ashford Formulareveals no erosion or dusting.Ashford Formula has strengthenedthe concrete surface from within.Ashford Formula densifies bypenetrating the concrete surface andfilling the natural pores and voidswith crystalline growth.

THE RIGHT DECISIONNOW, AND FOR THE FUTUREHYUNDAINOŠOVICE, CZECH REPUBLIC2008There are so many choices and so many reasons, but the decision is simple. An Ashford Formula treated floor simply out-performs thecompetition in results and long-term cost savings, with an economical one-time investment.

PRODUCT INFOSHUIDENG MACHINERY COMPANYWUXI JIANGSU, CHINA2006DESCRIPTIONClear, odorless, non-toxic, non-combustible,non-flammable. Contains no VOCs.SURFACE PREPARATIONSURFACE APPEARANCE Freshly Finished Concrete (NEW):No preparation required. Existing Concrete (OLD):Sweep, scrub or strip concrete toremove any surface contaminantsor film.On smooth troweled concrete, a sheendevelops within 4-12 months. All othersurfaces retain their natural appearance. Thesheen can be accelerated by burnishing thefloor. A spiff coat can also be used to enhancethe initial sheen.USESConcrete, heavyweight concrete block,exposed aggregate and other sand/aggregateportland cement combinations.New or old concrete, rough or smooth surfaces.FUNCTIONSDensifies, dustproofs, hardens and cures.Protects against dusting, pitting, spalling,efflorescence and surface crazing. Inhibitsfreeze/thaw deterioration.PACKAGING 55 - gallon drums / 208 liters 5 - gallon pails / 19 litersEQUIPMENT CLEAN-UPAPPLICATIONOnly one permanent application is required.Apply with high-volume, low-pressure sprayeruntil flood coat is achieved. Work materialinto the surface with fine-bristled brooms,or with an auto scrubber. Keep the entiresurface wet with Ashford Formula for 30minutes. Then when the Ashford Formulabecomes slippery, flush completely with waterand squeegee dry or vacuum excess with anautomatic scrubber.*See Spec Data Sheet or ApplicationSpecifications for specific details.Use soap and water before the AshfordFormula dries.PAINTINGAllow at least seven (7) drying days beforeapplying paint on existing concrete.Allow twenty-eight (28) days for proper curingbefore painting new concrete.NOTEApply to colored concrete only after the slabis fully cured, unless installed by a factorycertified applicator.STORAGE LIFETEMPERATURE LIMITSIndefinite. Agitate before use.Apply in temperatures up to 115 F (46 C) or aslow as 35 F (1.7 C) and protect from freezingfor a period of six (6) days.Do not allow to dry on finished surfaces(glass, aluminum, stainless steel, walls, etc.) aspermanent etching may occur.Approximately 200 ft2/gal (5 m2/L).DRYING TIMECoverage may depend on the temperature andporosity of the concrete.One (1) to three (3) hours. The surface maybe used as soon as the application is completeand the surface is dry to the touch. Newlyplaced concrete requires the normal hardeningperiod.Ashford Formula is a highly effectivecompound which delivers superior results.Application should be performed by qualifiedcontractors with a clear understanding of itsapplication and uses. *See Spec Data Sheetor Application Specifications for specificdetails.COVERAGEQUICK PECDATA
