Our sodium silicates and lithium silicates are used in concrete floor harderners. When sprayed on a concrete surface, the silicate penetrates the calcium hydroxide-saturated bleed water channels and voids where it reacts with the free lime (calcium hydroxide) to form insoluble calcium silicate hydrates. These gels increase the treated concrete surface density, strength and durability. The result is a concrete floor which is more abrasion resistant, less dusting and easier to maintain. In addition to increased protection, floors treated with silicate based floor hardeners gain an attractive, glossy sheen over time.

We recommend to try our lithium silicates since they offer clear advantages compared to formulations based on standard sodium- and potassium silicates due to their lower alkalinity and viscosity. This results in silicate based hardeners that are safer, faster and easier to apply!
