If you are trying to simply stop the concrete from disintegrating, Silacote will not help much, nor will other types of paint. The deterioration sounds like concrete spawling which is due to moisture in the surface that freezes and thaws and breaks up the surface of the concrete. Our GBS Penetrating Concrete Sealer will block moisture intrusion which will prevent spawling. Because it seeps 3-4 inches into the concrete, it fills all the tiny pores and actually strengthens the concrete from within. It also prevents efflorescence and dusting. One gallon covers 200 SF when saturated properly. This could take 3-4 coats and must be applied to clean, dry, unsealed concrete ideally in temperatures above 55 degrees for several days.
