The Ashford Formula is the original concrete densifier that chemically reacts with concrete to permanently densify, harden and strengthen the surface. This chemical reaction creates a dense, abrasion-resistant surface that can withstand the abuse of heavy machinery and equipment traffic, and ensures a durable concrete floor that is durable for a lifetime. No other concrete densifier has floors that are still in use after 75 years.

Concrete densification involves a chemical reaction between the densifier and calcium hydroxide in the concrete, producing calcium silicate hydrate. This compound fills the concrete pores, making the concrete denser, less permeable, and more resistant to moisture and chemical penetration. The Ashford Formula’s unique formulation ensures long-lasting protection for high-traffic and industrial environments.
The Ashford Formula is a concrete densifier that effectively locks in salts that cause dusting, not only keeping floors clean, but preventing dust from settling on finished goods and machinery, while significantly reducing maintenance costs.
A concrete densifier is a chemical hardener that penetrates the concrete surface, reacting with the material to form crystals that fill the pores and increase surface density. This process significantly improves the concrete’s resistance to wear, dusting, and chemical damage. The Ashford Formula has been the industry standard for decades, trusted by professionals worldwide.
Rather than coating the surface with temporary coatings that eventually wear with time and require repeated removal and re-installation, the Ashford Formula grows new crystals in the concrete permanently.
These crystals fills in the natural pores and voids in the concrete and provides a dense, hard surface that is strong, resistant to wear, dustproof and easy to clean. The concrete is densified internally and inorganically – for a lifetime. There is nothing to wear off the surface, nor is there anything to replace.
Application of Ashford Formula/ retroplate approximately 1000m², Allow to dry for 2 to 3 hours.
(New concrete) Finished without footprints after expansion joints are drawn
(New/old concrete) Spray the Ashford formula / RetroPlate with a watering can.
Once a flood coat has been achieved, the material should be agitated with fine-bristled brooms to help it penetrate the surface of the concrete.
The material should dwell on the surface for a minimum of 30 minutes and become gel-like or slippery.
It is necessary to fog or mist the floor with water to keep the Ashford Formula/ Retroplate in a liquid state for the entire 30-minute period.
Its become gel-like or slippery.
When the Ashford Formula/ retroplate turns slippery after the 30-45 minutes has elapsed, it can be flushed away with water. Allow to dry for 2 to 3 hours.

No. The Ashford Formula/ RetroPlate is a chemically-reactive liquid hardener and densifier. It protects the surface of the concrete not by coating it, but by increasing the density and durability of the wearing surface. Once the Ashford Formula/ RetroPlate has penetrated the concrete and reacted with it, there is no Ashford/ RetroPlate left. What remains is a crystalline-densified version of the concrete that was there in the first place. There is no coating, film or membrane to scratch, wear, or peel.
The higher the Forklift Trucks goes, the more it will lean if the floor is not flat.
The continuous strain on the forklift’s components, including joints and bearings, can result in significant damage and have a substantial impact on maintenance costs.
