Bone Dry Pro Sealer
Bone Dry Pro Sealer offers permanent moisture protection for large-scale concrete structures. This ASTM C309-certified solution creates a chemical vapor barrier that prevents mold growth and flooring failures. Ideal for hospitals, warehouses, and industrial facilities, it includes a 25-year warranty against moisture-related damage. The penetrating formula strengthens concrete while allowing immediate flooring installation.
Bone Dry Original
Original Bone Dry provides cost-effective moisture mitigation for residential concrete. Its penetrating formula waterproofs basements and garage floors while preventing dusting and cracking. Compatible with wood, tile, and carpeting systems, it requires no grinding for new concrete. The non-toxic solution offers 35+ years of proven performance with minimal surface preparation.
Bone Dry Plus
Bone Dry Plus combines moisture protection with active antimicrobial defense. Designed for moisture-prone environments like food production facilities, it prevents bacterial growth in concrete pores. The sealer maintains surface appearance while extending structural lifespan. Meets USDA criteria for food safety with continuous protection throughout the product's lifetime.
Driveway Sealer
Specialized formula for outdoor concrete surfaces including driveways and sidewalks. Resists freeze/thaw damage and salt penetration while maintaining slip resistance. Lasts the lifetime of the concrete with single-application coverage of 250-300 sq ft/gallon. Preserves surface aesthetics without creating glossy residues.
Block Wall Primer
Alkaline-forming primer for CMU block walls and porous concrete. Reacts with Bone Dry sealers to create permanent moisture barriers in foundation walls. Prevents mold growth between block joints while improving structural integrity. Recommended for basement walls and retaining structures with high water exposure risk.

Questions
How do I determine if my concrete moisture issues stem from humidity or a faulty vapor barrier?
Place a plastic sheet on the dry floor and leave for 48 hours. Moisture beads under the sheet indicate vapor barrier issues; none suggests humidity problems.
Can Bone Dry sealers be applied over existing coatings?
No. Existing coatings must be removed first. Bone Dry products require direct contact with concrete surfaces to penetrate effectively.
What safety precautions are required when applying Bone Dry products?
Use chemical goggles, gloves, and respirators. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and aluminum surfaces. Flush immediately with water if exposed.
How soon can flooring be installed after applying Bone Dry Plus?
With Quick Dry additive, flooring can typically be installed 6 hours after application, significantly reducing project timelines.
What environmental benefits do Bone Dry products provide?
VOC-free formulas extend concrete lifespan, reduce replacement needs, and qualify for LEED credits through low-emitting materials compliance.
How do Bone Dry sealers compare to epoxy alternatives?
Bone Dry products cost up to 75% less than epoxies, require no mechanical preparation, and provide permanent protection without surface film formation.
