Bodily fluids, laboratory chemicals, and aggressive cleaning agents? Healthcare concrete needs protection
When New Maitland Hospital was under construction, the project team needed concrete floors that would remain hygienic, durable, and moisture-controlled for decades—despite exposure to bodily fluids, laboratory chemicals, and aggressive cleaning agents.
The Solution: AQURON 2000 MEDI+
The construction team specified AQURON 2000 MEDI+, a breakthrough colloidal nano silica hydrogel treatment that transforms concrete performance from within.
Unlike surface coatings, AQURON 2000 MEDI+ uses colloidal nano silica particles that penetrate up to 150mm deep into the concrete matrix. Through a hydrogel reaction, these nano-particles permanently seal the concrete's porosity, creating an impenetrable barrier against moisture and contaminants.
Key Performance Benefits
Permanent Hygiene Protection - The colloidal nano silica hydrogel prevents urine, blood, laboratory substances, and cleaning chemicals from penetrating the concrete. This protection never needs reapplication—even when floor coverings are changed.
Superior Moisture Control - The hydrogel reaction immobilizes moisture within the concrete, allowing direct-stick flooring installation immediately and eliminating costly construction delays.
One-Time Application - Provides curing equal to 14 days of water curing while delivering permanent protection, saving time and money during construction.
Safe & Sustainable - Zero VOC content, no crystalline silica, and potable water approved. Extends concrete service life, reducing environmental impact.
Proven in Healthcare
New Maitland Hospital joins John Hunter Hospital, Nepean Hospital, Gosford Hospital, and numerous aged care facilities protected by this technology. With Health Infrastructure NSW specification approval and over 10,000 structures treated across 25 years, colloidal nano silica hydrogel represents the future of concrete protection in critical healthcare environments.
