Lithium Silicate Concrete Densifiers
The reaction is greater when the concrete humidity is high and when bleeding is prolonged.
Lithium silicate concrete densifiers. A pump up sprayer is used to apply a lithium silicate densifier to a newly poured concrete floor. They chemically react with the free lime and calcium below the concrete surface to create a permanent calcium silicate hydrate barrier within the pores. Generally you should apply ls lithium silicate densifier during the honing phase of concrete polishing. Normally when calcium hydroxide comes to the surface of fresh concrete it reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide producing carbonation calcium carbonate.
Most commonly used on warehouse floors in conjunction with a floor machine to polish and add a shine. That can be at the 200 or 400 grit resin level. Lithium silicate concrete densifiers are fast acting silicate sealers used to increase the strength and density of the concrete. Cmw 8000 moisture vapor barrier is a clear colorless spray applied penetrating lithium potassium silicate blended system designed to stop concrete floor coatings and floor coverings from de bonding due to hydrostatic vapor pressure coming up through a below grade concrete slab on grade slab and elevated deck slabs.
