Potassium Densifier

About Potassium Densifier

is potassium silicate based which hardens a wide variety of cementatioussurfaces When LPD is applied itpenetrates and reacts with the free calcium hydroxide to produce a byproductwhich fills up the pores on the surface This aids in trapping the moisture ofwet concrete which aids in curing of wet concreteADVANTAGES Penetratesinto the surface to harden and decrease the porosity of the surfaceThisrestricts the passage of water through the poresThishelps in curing of wet concrete and water proofing of set concreteItimproves the light reflectance and on polishing the surface results inpermanent and attractive sheenItprovides a tough protected surface that does not discolour or show pedestrianor vehicular wear marksImprovesthe abrasion resistance of the surfaceItdoes not cause efflorescence and is more stable than sodiumItimproves the chemical resistance of the surfaceProtectsthe surface against scratching or peeling thus making it dustproofConcentratedfor easy transportation and can be easily appliedItcan be applied in both new as well as old constructionsItis economical to usePROPERTIESTotal Solids Content 29 percent approx Specific Gravity at 25C 125approxpH Alkaline VOC Content NilAPPLICATION METHODSClean the surface before application If there is coating on thesurface for example curing compound etc should be removed Fill and repairall holes cracks and deteriorated areas For best result the surface shouldbe dry to allow LPD penetrate thepores and reactFor good result LPD isdiluted with water in 13 ratio It can be applied on clean surface by using alowpressure sprayer or by spreading evenly with a softbristled broomForHorizontal surfaces apply enough diluted LPDto keep the surface wet for 20 minutes If areas dry out before that applymore diluted LPD In hot dry orwindy conditions dampen concrete before application to prevent flash drying Remove any dried powder residue using a stiff broom powersweeper or floor scrubbing machine For immediate enhanced shine buff orburnish the dry concrete surface in both directions using an orbital floormachine or burnisher equipped with an appropriate polishing pad This is a drybuffing operationForvertical surfaces apply from the bottom up For maximum penetration anddesired coverage rates a wetonwet application is recommended retreat withinthree to five minutes after initial application Repeated applications shouldbe made until the surface remains moist for a minute or so before solutiondisappearsRestrict usage of the treated surface for 12 hoursPACKINGCETEXLPDis available in 60 kg carboy or 250 kg barrelSTORAGEWhen stored in anairtight sealed container in normal conditions has a shelf life of 12 months
