3. Product Description
BONE DRY provides a unique barrier
for waterproofing concrete and dense cementitious masonry products.
Whereas most other waterproofing products
develop only a surface coating, BONE DRY is designed to
penetrate deeply and become an integral part of the concrete.
BONE DRY is a water based, internal waterproofing system
which contains the same inorganics present in concrete. A proprietary
wetting agent composed of sixteen enzymes remarkably reduces the
liquid’s surface tension, which enables the BONE DRY
to penetrate deeply into the small pore diameters, filling all
the inter-connected pores and fissures stoping liquid transmission
72 hours after the BONE DRY application.
BASIC USES:
BONE DRY preserves new or old concrete.
BONE DRY hardens new concrete and retards dusting without
altering the surface appearance, texture, or bonding characteristics.
The occlusive seal formed by BONE DRY limits deterioration
of concrete and dense cementitious masonry by resisting the penetration
of acids, alkalis, oils and salts. BONE DRY is formulated
to perform against below grade hydrostatic pressure and is also
excellent as an on grade moisture barrier.
COMPOSITION:
BONE DRY is a non-toxic, (water based)
blend of inorganics which react with the natural by-products in
the formation of concrete to form an internal system of suspended
solids. These suspended solids extend throughout the concrete
filling all the capillaries, thereby creating a permanent moisture
barrier. BONE DRY is neither flammable or explosive, does
not emit any harmful fumes and does not contain heavy metals.
ADVANTAGES:
- hardens concrete, minimizing surface
dusting, pitting, spalling and hairline cracking
- inhibits water seepage and saponification
- resists acid, alkali and salt and oil
attack
- seals against seepage below grade (i.e.
from hydrostatic head)
- stops capillary action
- aids in curing new concrete uniformly,
resisting spot drying and hairline shrinkage cracking
- can be applied immediately after finishing
- prepares concrete surfaces for subsequent
applications of paint, stains or adhesives specifically formulated
for use on concrete surfaces
- as both concrete and BONE DRY
are essentially breatheable materials, a test area should be
tried before proceeding with any large areas of seamless materials
- promotes greater paint durability by
helping to resist peeling, cracking or crumbling
- increases bonding strength of latex and
poly-vinyl paints
LIMITATIONS:
- BONE DRY is formulated primarily
for concrete and other substrates containing calcium carbonate
and lime and does not effectively seal asphalt, metal, wood,
or clay products
- BONE DRY will not penetrate acrylic
or nonporous rubber based paints
- BONE DRY must be applied at full
strength to attain the desired results
SIZES:
- 5 Gallon Plastic Pails
- 55 Gallon Steel or Plastic Drums

Compressive Strength:
BONE DRY significantly increases the compressive strength
of concrete because the silicate constituent of the material reacts
with the calcium hydroxide in the concrete to form calcium silicate
hydrate.
Absorption:
The chemical reaction between BONE DRY and the free lime
and alkali within the concrete seals the small pores and hairline
cracks to impede the absorption of moisture.
Stain Resistance:
Treated concrete is noticeably more resistant to staining and
is more easily cleaned than untreated concrete.
Dusting Resistance:
Concrete treated with BONE DRY is significantly more resistant
to dusting compared to untreated concrete.
Freeze Thaw Resistance:
BONE DRY imparts an improved resistance to freeze-thaw
damage under test conditions.
Resistance to Salt Attack:
BONE DRY application to concrete imparts some resistance
to salt attack (5% NaCl solution) under freeze-thaw conditions.
Resistance to Chemicals:
Concrete treated with BONE DRY develops a high
resistance to chemical attack. This resistance is imparted by
the highly chemical resistant inorganic solids which permeate
the concrete and form a protective coating around the individual
cement particles.
Concrete treated with BONE DRY is
highly resistant to oils, grease, petroleum and non-petroleum
based hydrocarbon solvents, caustic alkalis and most of the organic
and inorganic acids.
5. APPLICATION
Preparatory Work:
No preparatory work is generally required.
Before beginning the application of BONE DRY, test the surface of the concrete to be certain that
the concrete is capable of absorbing the material. Flick some
droplets of water onto the surface in various locations. If the
water makes a wet spot within two minutes, the BONE DRY
will be readily absorbed into the concrete. On the other hand,
if the water droplets sit atop the surface for more than several
minutes, the surface will have to be prepared.
If the concrete surface is coated with heavy
wax, thick grease, oil, recently applied sealer, rubber or acrylic
paint or other impervious material, remove such materials so that
the BONE DRY can reach the surface of the concrete where
it will be allowed to penetrate into the concrete.
Hard troweled concrete will have a slick,
dense surface which may hinder the proper penetration of the BONE DRY. “Opening” such surfaces can be accomplished
by mechanical means or by etching with a mild acid solution. If
acid is used, be sure to rinse the floor thoroughly to remove
any laitance or acid solution.
Method of Application:
1. Dampen surface to be treated (do not
saturate) using a fine mist water spray.
2. Saturate the surface thoroughly with
BONE DRY at an approximate rate of 100 – 150 square
feet per gallon, depending upon pososity of the concrete.
Low pressure spray equipment, such as a
hand pumped garden type sprayer works well for medium sized areas.
For large areas, airless spray equipment is very efficient. Small
areas can be effectively treated using a spray bottle.
Brushes or rollers are not recommended because
of the low viscosity of the BONE DRY.
Do not allow the BONE DRY to pond
or puddle, as a white residue will likely form on the surface
of the concrete. Move the excess material from the low spots on
the floor to the high spots with a squeegee, mop or broom. Any
remaining material should be picked up with a wet vac or mop.
The time for additional applications can
be judged by observing the time it takes for the BONE DRY
to soak into the concrete. If the BONE DRY soaks in quickly,
generally less than fifteen minutes after application, additional
material should be applied.
3. IMPORTANT: Approximately 3 hours after
application of the BONE DRY, water dampen the treated surface
using a fine water spray mist. CAUTION: Do not flush with water
as some of the BONE DRY still on the surface may be washed
away by this action.
4. BONE DRY will not penetrate latex,
polyvinyl or acrylic based paints.
Unpainted surfaces: Generally, no surface
preparation is necessary. Before painting over BONE DRY
treated areas, the surfaces should be flushed with clear water
until the surface no longer exhibits leaching of alkali or foreign
matter.
5. For surfaces such as concrete basements,
walls and floors follow standard procedures as described above.
BONE DRY will seal against hydrostatic pressure; however,
flowing water must be stopped before application.
6. Oil, grease or acid conditions: Preliminary
cleaning of the surface is necessary before BONE DRY is
applied. Heavy deposits may require scraping, followed by thorough
cleaning with a commercial degreaser.
7. Curing new concrete: Apply BONE DRY
to the surface as soon as the concrete finishing operations have
been completed, or when the forms have been removed, saturating
the surface thoroughly. Concrete will cure slowly, producing a
hardened waterproof surface. BONE- DRY is excellent in hot or
windy weather, since it promotes uniform curing, increases density,
resists hairline shrinkage cracking and stops surface dusting.
Precautions:
BONE DRY should not be allowed to
remain on glass or aluminum.
In the event of contact, wipe off immediately
with a wet cloth or sponge.
BONE DRY should not be applied to
glazed floor or wall tile, or glazed or hard fired brick where
the glaze will prevent the penetration of the material. However,
BONE DRY may be applied over these materials if the intent
is to seal the grout joints. In such cases, after the BONE DRY
has sufficiently soaked into the grout, remove all excess material
from the surface with a wet vac, squeegee or mop. This will greatly
minimize the possibility of a white deposit or film from forming
on the tile or brick. When in doubt, apply BONE DRY to
a small test area.
BONE DRY is not recommended for use
on porous brick, pavers or tile as there is not sufficient alkali
(lime) in these materials for the BONE DRY to react with.
In most cases, white discoloration will occur on such surfaces.
BONE DRY should not be applied to
masonry structures having a mortar or grout containing a latex
binder.
BONE DRY should not be applied or
stored at freezing temperatures. 45 degree minimum surface temperature.
If freezing occurs during storage, agitate
the thawed material thoroughly to assure uniform solution.
During outside applications, care should
be taken to protect vegetation and adjacent areas from direct
spray or overspray.
