Industrial Surface Treatments
Industrial Surface Treatments (IST Products)
UCC is a certified installer of IST (Industrial Surface Treatments) products, offering advanced concrete sealant systems that penetrate the substrate to form a durable, integrated protective matrix.
What Is IST?
IST is a family of sealant formulations engineered to infiltrate concrete surfaces. Once fully cured, these treatments enhance the concrete’s inherent properties rather than forming a separate coating layer.
Key Benefits
-
Enhanced Corrosion Resistance — improved protection against acids, caustics, and solvents
-
Increased Chemical & Water Repellency — reduced permeability and surface saturation
-
Greater Abrasion Resistance — better durability under mechanical wear
-
Zero Delamination Risk — because the treatment is infused into the concrete, it won’t separate, peel, or contaminate
The diagram below illustrates how the IST treatment penetrates and bonds with the concrete substrate in comparison to other methods.
Fast, Effective Application
UCC’s trained crews can install IST across thousands of square feet within 72 hours, enabling rapid return to service with minimal disruption.
Performance Comparable to Coatings
After treatment, the concrete surface’s finish—and its durability—rivals that of epoxy or urethane floor systems, but with added integration into the substrate for long-term stability.
