NEW IDEAS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION. PROTECTIVE TREATMENT FOR CONCRETE /IN FRENCH/
A PRODUCT IN LIQUID FORM HAS BEEN PUT ON THE MARKET TO PROTECT CONCRETE AND INCREASE THE LIFE-TIME OF ROAD SURFACINGS. THIS PRODUCT CALLED PLIOCON FILLS THE PORES IN CONCRETE AND ELIMINATES THE DUST AND DIRT WHICH CLING TO A SURFACE, AND REDUCES MAINTENANCE COSTS. A CONCRETE SURFACING TREATED WITH PLIOCON IS RESISTANT TO ABRASION, EVEN BY VERY SHARP INSTRUMENTS AND STEEL WHEELS. IT IS LESS SENSITIVE TO THE CHEMICAL EFFECT OF ALKALIS, MINERAL OILS, DETERGENTS AND HUMIDITY. THE LIQUID CAN BE SPREAD DIRECTLY ON FRESHLY-LAID OR HARDENED CONCRETE SURFACE WITHOUT MIXING OR PREPARATION. IT DOES NOT ALTER THE COLOR OF CONCRETE BUT GIVES A PLEASANT, LIGHT EFFECT.
