Prior to 2015, the Minnesota State University in Mankato had eliminated two of its three dining halls, leaving 2,700 students to fight for space in a single facility originally designed to accommodate 1,800. In September 2015, the University began construction on a brand new dining facility expected to serve 3,000 students. Dining facilities like these are naturally exposed to frequent food and liquid spills, which can seep into concrete substrates, causing mold and bacterial growth beneath floor coverings.

Bone Dry Pro
Bone Dry Protects Cafeteria Floor from Mold and Odor
The contractors building this state-of-the-art facility turned to the concrete moisture mitigation specialists at Bone Dry to keep the substrate dry. Bone Dry Pro was used to properly seal and protect the cementitious substrate beneath floor coverings including carpet, tiling, VCT, and LVT.
Bone Dry Pro with Antimicrobial Protection
Bone Dry Pro gave the building contractors what they needed to seal the facility’s concrete flooring. Our deep penetrating concrete sealer, Bone Dry Pro, creates a unique vapor barrier deep in the structure to prevent moisture from leaching through and surfacing. Bone Dry Pro keeps surfacing moisture in check, preventing a whole host of problems caused by water trapped between the concrete and the floor covering: adhesive failure, mold growth, and substrate damage among them. Bone Dry Pro is the product trusted by industry professionals, and its 25-year replacement warranty includes labor and material to replace the finished flooring system, adhesives, and prep material.
The antimicrobial additives in Bone Dry Pro prevent organic growth resulting from kitchen and cafeteria spills, and the Quick Dry additive saves time for project managers by dramatically reducing the curing duration.
