Fresco ColorsEarthquakes Will Not Collapse Your Bridge or Any Concrete Structures
Environmental impacts such as salt, acid rain, and carbon dioxide can cause concrete bridges to deteriorate by decreasing the pH and undermining the protection of reinforcement steel. Earthquakes can also contribute to the destruction of concrete structures that have lost their physical strength. Fresco products can help preserve and strengthen concrete by penetrating the structure, increasing the pH, preventing the formation of rust and cracks, and returning its original strength.
