Abstract: A method for cutting or otherwise removing material from an inorganic substrate (e.g., a substrate formed from a cementitious material, such as concrete, or stone, etc.) includes applying an aqueous solution that includes a hardener/densifier to the inorganic substrate and/or to a removal element (e.g., a saw blade, an abrasive wheel, a grinding disk, etc.), the inorganic substrate or material removed from the inorganic substrate as the removal element removes material from the inorganic substrate. A system for removing material from an inorganic substrate includes a removal element and an aqueous solution that includes a hardener/densifier.

Abstract: A technique for protecting joints in pavement structures includes applying a hardener/densifier to one or more surfaces that define a joint in a pavement structure and, optionally, to portions of one or more surfaces that are located adjacent to the joint. One or more other compounds, such as hydrophobic materials, water-resistant materials, anti-scaling compounds, anti-wear compounds, multi-functional blended compositions and the like, may also be applied to the surfaces that define a joint and/or to portions of one or more surfaces that are adjacent to the joint. A seal may also be formed in a joint in a pavement structure. Joints that have been protected in accordance with teachings of this disclosure are also disclosed.
