There have been many attempts over the years to fix cracks rather than the expensive alternative to removing concrete and repouring. Despite all the efforts concrete crack repair remedies didn't always work due to flaws of product capabilities.

The Next Generation of Repair Products

The evolution of concrete products has been learned from coatings. For example acrylic sealers are the most inexpensive coating and have been used for years to protect concrete surfaces. They led to the use of epoxies and urethanes that have been the standard industrial coatings for decades. Variations have been produced. However these products are simple chemical combinations with little variance.

In recent years polyurea and polyaspartics have been developed that are complex chemicals that when combined produce unique results. Polyureas have the unique ability to "wet" into concrete. What this means is that when applied to a porous cement surface they actually absorb into the pores like water soaks into a sponge rather than sticking to a surface like a piece of tape as is the case with epoxies. When the polyureas cure they become part of the concrete.

So polyureas are now the top of the pyramid of coating and repair product evolution.

Features of Polyaspartics and Polyureas

As mentioned polyureas will absorb into a porous cement surface. Polyaspartics are added to polyureas which will increase or decrease the cure time depending on the situation. This is extremely unique in the hands of an experienced applicator. The combination can be adjusted depending on the temperature and climate. In a hot weather climate like Florida the cure time can be slowed while in Minnesota the cure time can be increased. This has opened up new markets and opportunities for coating applicators. For instance a garage floor can be resurfaced in a day with a result that would take 3-4 days for a result superior to an epoxy.

For commercial and industrial floors the result is more profound. The rapid cure capabilities enable an applicator to apply a high performance coating without the business having to shut down. This saves the business money and opens up a new opportunity for an applicator.

Polyureas as a Concrete Crack Repair Product

Concrete is one of the most used commodities on the planet and always cracks. Until recently crack fillers lacked a few critical components preventing them from performing. First they are typically too thick to flow to the bottom of the crack. Cracks are seldom straight. A four inch thick cracked slab might have a dog leg part way down. If the crack filler is too thick it would stop at the first angle. The problem is that cracks are like vents for moisture vapor. If the crack is not filled to the bottom moisture vapor will travel up the crack and work real hard to push weakness out of the way.

The second major issue is for crack filler to cure below the surface and frequently a damp surface. Moisture vapor that travels upwards through a crack will make the porous walls of the crack damp. Crack fillers don't have a chance. They usually stay wet and never cure. For years it's always been thought that what you can't see can't hurt you.

Imagine all the millions of dollars worth of crack filler worldwide that doesn't work. Polyureas have solved that problem. Keep in mind that all polyureas are not the same. However they can be thin enough to be poured into a crack and flow all the way to the bottom. As mentioned earlier they have the ability to wet into concrete so when filled into a crack they are absorbed into the walls and become part of the slab.

Amazing but true that they have the ability to cure below the surface and are activated by moisture. Finally they can flex with movements in the floor. Not only are they an extraordinary crack repair product but polyureas can be used to repair flaws in the surface. In fact polyureas are being used to fix floors that look like they have no hope.

The Growing and Changing Sport of Girls Hockey

Younger boys and girls hockey teams are becoming more popular each year. There was a time when this was not the case, especially with the girls hockey teams. Young ladies did not, as a rule, tend to enjoy the aggressive play that is associated with this game, but the times have changed. There are more females enjoying this fast-paced game today than ever before.

And why shouldn't they? With the proper coaching and training this sport can be as safe as any other sport. The benefits that it offers for both physical and mental activities are well known. Without a doubt, this is a sport that requires quick movements, concentration, focusing skills, team spirit, and the need to make fast decisions. All of that is good, and all of it can help build character in a child regardless of gender.

Often, however, it isn't the child who stands in the way of a young lady joining a girls hockey team but the other adults in hockey. This only makes sense given the amount of violence that we so often see the professional players conducting upon one another. But again, with the proper coaching and training, violence does not become an issue. In fact, a good coach will not stand for violent behavior from any of his or her players. This helps to build good character and helps the child to learn to vent frustration in a more civilized way.

On the upside, young boys and girls hockey teams are a great place to socialize and meet new friends. Any sport that requires self-discipline will also help the child to grow in a mature and thoughtful way. The physical requirements for this sport are such that no part of their little bodies will lack exercise. And as stated above, the mental skills can be very rewarding to them as they grow and become better at the game.

One issue that many parents are faced with in the beginning is where to get reliable and useful information concerning the sport. Some of the issues that parents have to become informed on are such things as how to pick a good team for their child and what equipment is needed for the sport in relation to the position the child wants to play (for example, a goalie needs special equipment as compared to a player). Other issues might be proper nutrition before, during, and after a game and injuries-what are the most common injuries and how to best avoid those injuries. These are just a few of things parents want to know about before they sign the consent form.

The problem, of course, is where to find all of this information. Thankfully, there is a free website that has been developed to answer these questions for parents. It also contains information for coaches, managers, and officials. The information is all very easy to understand and the site is easy to navigate.
