Liquid Potassium Silicate Concrete Hardener | Penetrating Densifier & Sealer
Liquid potassium silicate for concrete, a high-performance liquid hardener that permanently enhances the surface hardness, wear resistance and dust resistance of concrete through deep chemical reactions. It is a colorless or slightly yellow semi transparent to transparent liquid with hygroscopicity. It has a pH value between 11-12 and a relative density between 1.16-1.45 (20 ℃).
Appearance and Packaging
This is a colorless or slightly yellow semi transparent liquid with hygroscopicity.
It is usually packaged in ICB barrels or 200-liter plastic barrels.
The core advantages and features of liquid potassium silicate for concrete
1.Potassium silicate specifically for concrete can enhance its hardness and wear resistance:
The C-S-H gel formed by potassium silicate and concrete significantly increases the surface density and hardness of the concrete, enabling it to withstand frequent forklift and heavy machinery traffic. The wear resistance is improved several times, greatly extending the service life of the ground and reducing maintenance costs.
2.Potassium silicate can permanently prevent dust from concrete floors.
Potassium silicate bonds the loose particles in concrete through chemical reactions and permanently seals the pores. It creates a highly clean, dust-free environment, meeting the cleanliness requirements of warehouses, garages, workshops and other places, and saves cleaning costs.
3.Potassium silicate endows concrete floors with excellent chemical corrosion resistance and weathering resistance:
The reaction products of potassium silicate have better chemical stability and UV resistance. It can effectively resist mild chemical erosion, and its performance is not affected by sunlight exposure, making it particularly suitable for outdoor environments such as parking lots and squares.
4.The impermeability performance of potassium silicate enhanced concrete floor:
The dense surface can effectively resist the penetration of oil, water and other liquids. Stains are less likely to penetrate, making daily cleaning and maintenance extremely convenient, and keeping the floor looking as good as new for a long time.
5.The ground after construction can be polished to a charming luster:
After mechanical grinding and polishing, the surface of potassium silicate concrete can present a luster ranging from satin to high gloss.
Application scenarios of liquid potassium silicate for concrete surface treatment
| Industrial flooring | logistics warehouses, production workshops, distribution centers, heavy equipment areas. |
| Commercial and public spaces | large shopping malls, supermarkets, parking lots, airports, and schools. |
| Outdoor venues | Open-air parking lots, squares, pedestrian walkways (with more stable performance). |
| Applicable base surfaces | new and old concrete, terrazzo floors, and diamond sand wear-resistant floors. |
Guide for the Use of liquid potassium silicate for concrete hardener
1.Base surface treatment (key step): Thoroughly clean the ground and use a diamond grinder for grinding, opening up the pores of the concrete and removing the weak layers.
2.First application: Spray or roll this product evenly onto the surface of the floor, maintaining a continuous moist environment for 20 to 40 minutes to allow the material to fully penetrate.
3.Second application: After the first coat has been fully absorbed, apply the second coat as needed.
4.Cleaning the floor: Use a scraper or a floor cleaning machine to remove any remaining substances from the surface.
5.Fine polishing: Use resin grinding discs (ranging from 100# to 3000#) for multiple rounds of grinding and polishing to achieve a glossy finish.
6.Maintenance: People can walk on it within a few hours after the construction is completed, and it can bear weight after 24 hours.
