Potassium Lithium Silicate Densifier

Product Description

is a premium mixed silicate It hardensa wide variety of concrete marble stone surfaces When POLISI is applied it penetrates the surface and it reacts with thefree calcium hydroxide to produce a byproduct which fills up the pores on thesurface Being bigger molecule compared to Lithium Silicate penetration islower hence more suitable for porous surfaces

ADVANTAGES                              

Penetratesinto the surface to harden and decrease the porosity of the surface

Itimproves the light reflectance and on polishing the surface results inpermanent and attractive sheen

Helpsreduce damaging alkalisilica reactions ASR and protects from weathering andefflorescence

Itprovides a tough protected surface that does not discolour or show pedestrianor vehicular wear marks

By reducing the pores of the surface it aids in curing of greenconcrete

Improvesthe abrasion resistance of the surface

Itdoes not cause efflorescence and is more stable than sodium

Ithelps in waterproofing  improves the chemical resistance of the surface

Protectsthe surface against scratching or peeling thus making it dustproof

Concentratedfor easy transportation and can be easily applied

Itcan be applied in both new as well as old constructions

Itis economical to use

APPLICATION METHODS

Clean the surface before application If there is coating on thesurface for example curing compound etc it should be removed Fill andrepair all holes cracks and deteriorated areas For best result the surfaceshould be dry to allow POLISI penetratethe pores and react

For goodresult POLISI is diluted with waterin 13 ratios It can be applied on clean surface by using a lowpressuresprayer or by spreading evenly with a softbristled broom

For Horizontalsurfaces apply enough diluted POLISIto keep the surface wet for 20 minutes If areas dry out before that applymore diluted POLISI 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 operation

Forvertical 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 solutiondisappears

Restrict usage of the treated surface for 8 hours
