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 alkali-silica reactions (ASR) and protects from weathering andefflorescence
• Itprovides a tough protected surface that does not dis-colour 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 1:3 ratios. It can be applied on clean surface by using a low-pressuresprayer or by spreading evenly with a soft-bristled 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 wet-on-wet 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.
