NOTE: All Materials and Procedures used in the mix designs
were in accordance or conformance to the requirements of the
American Society of Testing Materials.
3) All concrete cylinders were cast 12/10/90 (refer to mix
design), cured for 28 days and then slurry coated with
Penetron (as per standard Penetron application specification).
After coating, the cylinders were allowed to cure for an
additional 14 days.
At the end of this period the cylinders
were immersed in three (3) separate vessels containing (1)
Motor oil (10w40), (2) Diesel Fuel #2 and (3) 87 Octane
Gasoline.
4)At approximately 90 day intervals, sample cylinders were
removed and saw-cut to determine permeability of petroleum
products, while others were checked for strength and abrasion
qualities. This process continued for a period of 18 months.
Individual test results are shown in Item #2 of this report.
5)This continuous testing demonstrated the full range of
protection provided by the Penetron system. Specimen cylinders
showed no loss of strength, abrasion resistance or breakdown
due to permeability and/or exposure to the petroleu products.
6) Conclusion: Testing demonstrates that Penetron
effectively protects concrete exposed to petroleum products.
