Bone Dry Products

What Bone Dry Products does

Bone Dry Products, Inc. is a Kenosha, Wisconsin-based specialty construction chemicals manufacturer founded in 2000 by James K. Gourley Jr. The company develops and sells proprietary concrete moisture mitigation products — sealers, surface preparation solutions, surface coatings, and admixes — built around a permanent penetrating concrete sealer technology that reacts with free lime and alkali within the slab to create a waterproof barrier beneath, rather than on top of, the concrete surface. Its product portfolio includes the Bone Dry Pro System (a bundled commercial solution with a 20-year warranty), Bone Dry Original, Bone Dry Plus (with antimicrobial protection), Pro Admix (a colloidal nano-silica MVER admixture), EM Coating (FDA 21 CFR 117.1390-approved for food contact), and a range of prep and ancillary products; the company reports over 100 million square feet of concrete sealed across 40+ states since founding.

The company serves commercial and residential end-markets across healthcare, education, government, retail, automotive, food production, religious facilities, and general contractors, with primary commercial emphasis on concrete sealing for new hospital, university, public-sector, and retail projects. Its go-to-market combines direct e-commerce and phone sales (262-694-9748) for SMB/residential customers, quote-based Bone Dry Pro System packages for large commercial jobs, and in-house nationwide application crews for enterprise installations. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from approximately $45 (Concrete Degreaser) to $975 (Corrosion Inhibitor) per container, with complete system packages priced per project with free freight to contiguous US job sites. LEED-compliant and VOC-free positioning differentiates the products against epoxy alternatives that Bone Dry prices approximately 70% below.

Core offering

Bone Dry Products manufactures and sells a proprietary line of concrete moisture mitigation sealers, surface preparation products, coatings, and admixes. Their flagship Bone Dry Pro System is a complete moisture mitigation package combining penetrating sealers with primers, sprayers, and adhesives, sold direct to contractors and facility owners across commercial and residential markets. For large commercial jobs, the company also dispatches in-house application teams nationwide and provides quote-based bundled packages with on-site technical oversight.

Product overview

Bone Dry Products is a concrete moisture mitigation solutions provider offering a comprehensive portfolio of penetrating concrete sealers and related products. The core offering centers on the Bone Dry Pro System—a complete moisture mitigation package that combines sealers (Bone Dry Pro, Original, Plus), preparation products (Etch-A-Crete, Concrete Degreaser, Corrosion Stop), surface coatings (EM Coating, Pro Gyp-Cap, Li 200 Logistics), and admixes (Pro Admix, Corrosion Inhibitor). The products work together as a system: prep products open concrete pores, penetrating sealers create permanent waterproof barriers within the slab, and surface coatings provide additional protection. The company manufactures the first permanent penetrating concrete sealer with a 20-year warranty, and has expanded to offer 25-year warranties on certain commercial products. All products are VOC-free, water-based, and designed for both commercial and residential applications.

Broad incumbents

• Ardex Americas: Ardex is a long-standing specialist in substrate preparation and moisture-mitigation systems (e.g., Ardex MC). Closely comparable product category (penetrating moisture control plus epoxy alternatives) and overlapping healthcare/education/retail end markets.
• Sika AG: Global construction-chemicals major with a leading concrete moisture-mitigation and floor-prep portfolio (e.g., Sikafloor, MBT-equivalent systems). Comparable to Bone Dry across target segments (commercial concrete, healthcare, retail) but at vastly broader scale with epoxy and urethane alternatives that compete head-to-head.
• ICP Construction (Innovative Chemical Products): ICP Construction markets specialty coatings and sealers (e.g., Mapei-adjacent brands acquired over time, plus Pli-Dek). Competes in commercial concrete floor systems and sealers, with a broader coatings distribution footprint.
• Mapei Corporation: Mapei offers Planiseal and related moisture-mitigation/epoxy systems widely used in commercial flooring. Direct competitor to Bone Dry Pro on commercial moisture-mitigation bids, with greater distribution and project-spec support.
• Euclid Chemical: Euclid Chemical supplies concrete admixtures, sealers, and moisture-control products (e.g., Euco Diamond Hard, Vapor Lock). Comparable on the admix and sealer portfolio and overlapping on commercial-construction spec-ins.
• Henkel (Loctite/Flexkrete): Global adhesives/sealants giant whose Loctite/Flexkrete lines include construction sealers and moisture-mitigation products. Broad incumbent adjacent to Bone Dry's sealer category; competes for the same commercial bids with greater brand and channel resources.

Direct peers

• W. R. Meadows: Family-owned US specialty chemicals maker focused on concrete sealers, moisture mitigation, and waterproofing products sold through construction distributors. Most structurally similar to Bone Dry: similar size, similar channel (direct + distributor), similar product set (seal-A-Crete, Indurosil).
• PROSOCO: PROSOCO manufactures concrete and masonry sealers, including penetrating products (e.g., Consolideck, Sure Klean) used in commercial flooring and architectural concrete. Direct comparable on chemistry (penetrating sealers) and target buyer (architects/contractors).
• ChemCo Systems: Specialty formulator of concrete moisture-mitigation coatings (e.g., CCS Epoxy Pensl) and sealers. Comparable niche specialty-chemical positioning, targeting flooring contractors on similar commercial bids.

Emerging players

• KreteTek Industries (KreteDefender): Maker of KreteDefender concrete sealers and moisture-control systems marketed to contractors and homeowners. Smaller-scale direct competitor in penetrating concrete sealers, with greater residential focus than Bone Dry.
