SURTREAT
Restoration and protection of historical buildings, stone and masonry statuary and monuments using SURTREAT proprietary chemical materials.
Environmental Deterioration - Chemical Deterioration
The deterioration of historically important monuments and structures is an ongoing and accelerating problem.
Primarily the deterioration is promoted and accelerated by the influx of pollutants in the environment producing deleterious mostly acidic chemical compounds which attack and destroy chemical bonds allowing more inert components to separate and "weather" away.
SURTREAT Holding, LLC is the manufacturer and applicator of the advanced chemical materials for the protection of stone and cement composite materials.

Chemical Deterioration - Chemical Protection
As the deterioration of masonry and stone monuments and structures is chemical in nature the restoration process must involve a chemical solution to properly restore and protect the original properties of the substrate.
It is necessary to recreate and solidify internal chemical bonds of the substrate to make them more inert and resistant to chemical/acid attack.
Once the internal bonds are restored and strengthened it is also important to establish that future water ingress carrying contaminants into the structure is restricted and any other possible way of ingress is prohibited.

Mechanism of SURTREAT Chemical Protection
SURTREAT formulations penetrate the surface of porous materials in vapor or liquid form to combine with structure components. The result is the formation of new chemical structures within the substrate to produce stronger more chemically resistant surface which prevents water intrusion as well as penetration of extraneous chemicals including air born pollutants
In general upon application SURTREAT materials penetrate completely and do not exist on the structure surface thus allowing restoration without altering structure appearance. SURTREAT is not a sealant in the conventional sense of the word.
