Pure Guard keeps public concrete hardscapes cleaner than competitors
- LOCATION: ATLANTA, GA
- DATE APPLIED:
- SUBSTRATE: CONCRETE
- PRODUCT USED: PURE GUARD
- APPLICATION METHOD: HVLP SPRAYER
- SITE DESCRIPTION: PUBLIC WALKWAY WITHIN STADIUM
THE CHALLENGE
Truist Park (formerly Sun Trust Park) is home to the Atlanta Braves in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia. Our partners at CleanWell Services reached out to us to help find a solution for keeping the stadium’s public walkways and the stadium clean after games. High foot-traffic, food stains, and pollutants from rainwater and high humidity make cleaning a large public space difficult and costly. During the pandemic, cleaning efforts and budgets were reduced, leaving spaces vulnerable to dirt and stain buildup.
THE SOLUTION
Recognizing the benefits of both photocatalytic self-cleaning and long-term protection, Armus Pure Guard's transparent formulation was chosen to deeply penetrate the concrete to form a robust barrier while maximizing the efficacy of sunlight-driven decomposition of organic matter and stains, ensuring both aesthetic and functional longevity.
IMPLEMENTATION
- Surface Preparation: The exterior concrete hardscape was power washed and allowed to dry.
- Application: Pure Guard was applied directly to the concrete using an HVLP sprayer to the point of rejection and allowed to dry.
3 months POST-APPLICATION RESULTS & evaluation
3 months post-application, Pure Guard’s efficacy can still be seen. The sun-exposed location facilities that continuous photocatalytic properties of Pure Guard. Sunlight triggers the breakdown of surface-bound organic molecules, preventing subsequent staining and soiling. This continuous self-cleaning process preserves the concrete’s integrity and visual appeal over time.
