A pump up sprayer is used to apply a lithium silicate densifier to a newly poured concrete floor.
Lithium silicate concrete densifiers.
To harden concrete this penetrating treatment reacts chemically with the free lime in concrete to produce calcium silicate hydrate within the concrete pores making the concrete stronger and more durable.
Normally when calcium hydroxide comes to the surface of fresh concrete it reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide producing carbonation calcium carbonate.
Concrete densifiers are silicate sealers of a sodium potassium or lithium carrier designed to densify harden dustproof and increase the abrasion resistance of concrete.
They chemically react with the free lime and calcium below the concrete surface to create a permanent calcium silicate hydrate barrier within the pores.
Surecrete s ld1800 concrete lithium densifier a liquid concrete hardener provides a clean safe economical stand alone finished concrete floor.
The reaction is greater when the concrete humidity is high and when bleeding is prolonged.
Lithium silicate concrete densifiers are fast acting silicate sealers used to increase the strength and density of the concrete.
That can be at the 200 or 400 grit resin level.
