Vetrofluid sealer boosts concrete strength
Independent testing by the Military Aviation Institute in Poland has confirmed a major performance breakthrough for Evercrete Vetrofluid, a concrete sealer distributed by Ecobeton UK. In pull-off adhesion tests, concrete treated with Vetrofluid achieved an average 95.2% increase in strength compared to untreated samples—offering new possibilities for both protection and structural rehabilitation.
Unusually, failure during testing occurred not at the surface but cohesively within the concrete itself, precisely at the product’s 40 mm penetration depth. This internal failure mode suggests that the bond created by Vetrofluid exceeds the concrete’s own tensile strength.
“When a treatment causes the concrete to fail internally before the bond fails, that’s the highest level of performance you can achieve,” said Jack Bienkowski, CEO of Ecobeton UK. “The measured 95% gain is likely an underestimate of the real structural improvement.”
The tests also highlighted Vetrofluid’s ability to enhance concrete durability under extreme conditions, said the company. After exposure to aggressive freeze–thaw cycles and de-icing chemicals, untreated concrete lost up to 10.8% of its compressive strength, while concrete treated with Vetrofluid recorded strength gains of up to 6.4%. This represents a swing of nearly 20% in performance under some of the most damaging conditions found in infrastructure environments.
Described by Ecobeton as a “structural enhancer” rather than a simple surface sealer, Vetrofluid is a deeply penetrating, permanently reactive treatment that waterproofs to 10 bar and is certified safe for use in high-risk zones. It can be applied to vertical, overhead, and submerged surfaces, and never requires reapplication.
“These results change the narrative,” Bienkowski added. “Vetrofluid isn’t just a shield—it actively reinforces the structure from within.”
