Ashford Formula™
Concrete Densifier & Surface Hardener
*Polygel is an authorized manufacturer of Ashford Formula under license from Curecrete Distribution, Inc.*
Ashford Formula is a chemical concrete densifier that penetrates the concrete and strengthens the top surface from within. It reacts with the concrete to permanently densify the surface, improving hardness, durability, and long-term performance.
First developed in 1949, Ashford Formula is recognized as the original concrete densifier and has been used on concrete floors worldwide for over 75 years. Unlike coatings or surface sealers, Ashford Formula becomes part of the concrete itself. There is no film or membrane that can peel, chip, or wear away over time.
KEY BENEFITS
- One-time application with permanent results
- Permanently densifies and strengthens concrete
- Improves surface hardness and abrasion resistance
- Reduces dusting and surface wear
- Develops a marble-like sheen overtime
- Creates a surface that is easier to clean and maintain
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- Ashford Formula is the ideal solution for any facility seeking exposed concrete as a durable finished floor — requiring no coatings, no recoatings, and no repeated applications or installations. Typical applications include some of the most demanding environments in industry:
- Data Centers
- Warehouses and distributions centers
- Manufacturing facilities
- And many more
- Unlike temporary surface treatments such as epoxy coatings, tile, carpet, or paint — which wear, peel, and require costly replacement cycles — Ashford Formula permanently densifies and hardens the concrete itself, delivering a finished floor that lasts the life of the slab
HOW IT WORKS
Ashford Formula penetrates the concrete and reacts chemically with the cementitious components. This reaction forms crystalline structures that fill pores and voids within the slab, resulting in a denser and harder surface.
The treated surface becomes:
- Harder
- More abrasion resistant
- Dustproof
- Easier to maintain
- Gloss with regular foot traffic and use
APPLICATION
Ashford Formula can be applied to new or existing concrete surfaces. The substrate must be clean and bare, with all coatings removed. Apply using a flood coat method and work into the surface to ensure proper penetration. Watch the application video
Typical coverage rate: Approximately 200 ft² per gallon (5 m²/L) depending on surface conditions. A single application is sufficient to permanently densify the concrete surface.
