Those outside the concrete industry often fail to realize what a chemically active concrete is. Concrete possesses a very high pH value, making it a highly basic substance. As a result, concrete readily reacts in the presence of even acids such as de-icing salts and even the carbon dioxide that naturally found in air.
As concrete continues to react with such substances in the process known as carbonation, its pH value steadily drops. The lower the concrete's pH gets, the more vulnerable it is to various forms of damage. Fortunately, a number of methods exist for protecting concrete against unwanted carbonation. This article will discuss three of the most common.
