In 2025/2026,The State of Louisiana investigated the use of Pavix, to reduce snow and ice buildup on various bridges across the State. The benefits of Pavix over untreated bridge decks was reported to have allowed for 4-5 hours of working time as the storm started. Snow and ice were removed easily and Pavix applied decks were snow and ice free 1.5-2 days sooner than untreated decks.” And “we will be using more Pavix!"

Overall, CHEM-CRETE® PAVIX® CCC100 provided improved safety, easier application, and efficient installation, making it a practical and effective alternative to traditional sealers. ~ 2026 TexDOT

The State of West Virginia bridge deck sealer of choice is PAVIX and here is why – Pavix is Safe for our workers. Quicker dry times and traffic opening. We estimate it’s performance at 3X’s that of other sealers. It effectively penetrates and seals smaller cracks, preventing corrosion of our reinforcing steel.

Dave and Kathy of DeSoto, Iowa had this to say about Pavix: We always struggled with a damp basement and basement walls. In 2017 we applied Pavix CCC100 and within a week, noticed a recognizable difference in moisture and humidity. In fact our dehumidifier went from pulling a gallon a day of water, to not even a gallon per week!

" I wanted to thank you again for your recommendation of your MarinaSeal Product for our sea wall project. I was skeptical at first that 10 gallons was going to cover our 300' x 3' sea wall, but we finished with just over a gallon left. Marina seal was dirt simple to apply. Truly a clean bucket, a roller with 3/8" nap, and a little time made for an easy application. MarinaSeal is as easy to paint on as water." Residential seawall protected with MarinaSeal. "We live on

(2025) State of Louisiana DOT, treats multiple bridge decks, citing delay in frost formation.

(2024) Northern Iowa 10k sf finished floor poured, using MCE. Product chosen in lieu of sub-base vapor barrier system, saving thousands of dollars.

(2024 MCE) Iowa DOT uses MCE and Pavix, in a two year study of performance for implementing in Iowa bridge decks.

(2025 Pavix) Testing has been completed on ice adhesion, confirming a Pavix treated surface will significantly reduce the formation of surface ice! “Testing in Freezer chamber at 5*F, 15*F and 30*F, consistently showed that when using acetate, or brines, on a Pavix treated surface, improvement and extension of time, in ‘time to freeze’ occurred.”

PAVIX…and ASR ICC Group is happy to share that in recent Independent lab tests, Pavix was shown to reduce the effects of Alkaline Silica Reaction (ASR) when sprayed topically, by 23% !!! Compare this to a commonly used Silane, THEY WILL NOT COMPARE. What does this mean for you? This means that NOT only - …are you protecting concrete from water and moisture ingress. …are you protecting against de-icing agents and contaminants. …are you helping prevent to eliminate pop-ou

One of the primary benefits of the Crystal Technology is its ability to seal hairline cracks up to 1/16th inch as this picture illustrates. Using a Crack Comparator, this crack was approximately .010” in width. Pavix CCC100 was sprayed directly over the crack with about 3” overspray and as you can clearly see, water isn’t penetrating at all. Even on a rainy day, same Pavix CCC100 treated crack, moisture is on the surface while the remaining untreated slab is completely satura

Wet conditions can cause mold and mildew growth in concrete. This growth usually occurs in damp or shaded areas that do not receive a lot of sun or heat. Concrete, with all its sponge like porosity, is a great breeding place for mold. Wet humid weather with warm temperatures only aggravates the condition.
