The leading product in the densification of concrete
For years, the only approach to protecting concrete floors was to cover them with a film or membrane. Such products include acrylics, urethanes, epoxies and waxes. By their very nature, however, coatings are only a temporary solution. They are subject to delamination, scratching, chipping and wear. Eventually, they have to be replaced. This involves the expense of downtime, materials and labor. Some inexpensive coatings last only as little as 6 months to a year, so the associated maintenance costs are frequent and high.
DENSIFYING FROM THE INSIDE OUT
The Ashford Formula takes a different approach to concrete floor protection. Rather than coating the surface with organic solids, the Ashford Formula grows new crystals in the concrete. This reaction fills in the natural pores and voids in the concrete and provides a dense, hard surface that is easy to clean. The concrete is densified internally and inorganically. There is nothing to wear off the surface, nor is there anything to replace. The same reaction also makes the surface much harder and resistant to abrasion. In addition, the floor surface is rendered free of dust.

STILL WITHOUT EQUAL
The idea of achieving these results was initiated nearly 70 years ago by the Ashford Formula. This is the product that created an entirely new industry. Because of the success of the Ashford Formula, many imitations have come on the market. None of them, however, can match the long-term performance of the original. No one has the same unique catalytic chemistry that has delivered results lasting almost 70 years. No one has the same Lifetime or 20-year warranty that is validated by nearly seven decades of proven performance.
With a worldwide network, Ashford Formula has already provided more than 500 million square meters of concrete surface with the perfect final finish for concrete floors with high standards.
Advantages of densifiyng concrete with Ashford Formula
Impregnating your concrete floor in your industrial hall, distribution center, office, shop or home with Ashford Formula has the following advantages:
Improvement
A qualitative improvement of your concrete floor.
Green? We've always been!
A qualitative improvement of your concrete floor.
A 100% dust-free surface
A 100% dust-free surface. Concrete naturally creates dust from efflorescence, which then settles on finished goods, racks and equipment. The Ashford Formula combines with the salts in concrete to become an integral part of the concrete, thus completely dustproofing the surface.
Harder top layer
A 38% harder top layer, within the first 30 minutes of treatment.
Durable top layer
A 33% more durable top layer.
Warranty
A product warranty of 20 years.
One-time application
A one-time application at a relatively low cost. The Ashford Formula eliminates the need for repeated applications of urethanes, waxes, acrylics and other expensive maintenance-intensive floor coatings.
Easy to maintain and clean
An easy to maintain and clean concrete floor. oreign matter such as oil, alkali, free lime and traffic scum are easily removed with regular cleaning. A regular maintenance program is highly recommended for any floor to remove surface contaminants and any acids or other corrosive materials should be removed immediately from the floor.
Environmentally friendly
- A 100% environmentally friendly concrete impregnation.
- Use of existing concrete floors as finished surface.
- Permanent life cycle – no need for replacement like other concrete surface coverings.
- Produces no fumes, VOC free – improves indoor air quality.
- Contributes to LEED points for sustainable building; HPD available.
- Packaged in re-conditioned blue drums.
- Increased light reflection which results in around 30% reduced energy consumption.
Transparent impregnation
A transparent impregnation, which preserves the ‘concrete look’.
Reduces porosity
Reduces porosity of concrete surface and improves chemical and stain resistance. Steel troweled concrete floors treated with the Ashford Formula also take on a permanent and attractive marble-like sheen. The longer these floors are subjected to cleaning and traffic, the better they look. Floors treated with the Ashford Formula also have fewer tire marks from forklifts and other equipment. If tire marks do occur, they can be easily removed.
Green? We've always been!
