Potassium Lithium Silicate Densifier

About Potassium Lithium Silicate Densifier

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 surfacesADVANTAGES Penetratesinto the surface to harden and decrease the porosity of the surfaceItimproves the light reflectance and on polishing the surface results inpermanent and attractive sheenHelpsreduce damaging alkalisilica reactions ASR and protects from weathering andefflorescenceItprovides a tough protected surface that does not discolour or show pedestrianor vehicular wear marksBy reducing the pores of the surface it aids in curing of greenconcreteImprovesthe abrasion resistance of the surfaceItdoes not cause efflorescence and is more stable than sodiumIthelps in waterproofing improves 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 290 300approx Specific Gravity at 25C 125 approx002pH Alkaline VOC Content NilAPPLICATION METHODSClean 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 reactFor 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 broomFor 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 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 8 hoursPACKINGCETEXPOLISIis available in 60 kg carboy or 250 kg barrelSTORAGEWhen stored in anairtight sealed container in normal conditions has a shelf life of 12 monthsfrom date of shipment
