Abstract
Penetrating sealers show great promise for protecting concrete roads from the negative impacts of deicing salts. However, there are many different sealers on the market that work using disparate principles and chemical compositions. Iowa DOT funded laboratory and field testing to better understand how to select the right sealer for a specific application and to determine the best way to evaluate a sealer’s effectiveness. The result was a set of testing methods that will support county and municipal engineers as they identify which sealers can cost-effectively improve the longevity of concrete surfaces by helping compensate for mixtures at risk for early deterioration
