Concrete chemistry – Concrete densifier
Using silicate densifiers has many benefits beyond providing a superior finish and strengthening the concrete. Unlike other surface treatments and water repellants, the silicate penetrates the concrete, changing the molecule structure. The increased abrasion resistance makes concrete surfaces treated with a densifier ideal for high-traffic areas. The smoother concrete surface also makes polishing a high sheen easier and makes the floor easy to clean and maintain. The reduced porosity contributes to the longevity of the concrete. The last benefit is that the concrete’s chemical reaction within the concrete is ongoing. This reduces dusting and continually increases its strength.
Concrete densifier and chemical hardener
Description
GRANITEX concrete densifier and chemical hardener compound is a water-based, ready-to-use, clear silicate liquid, formulated with chemically reactive raw materials to harden and dustproof concrete. This waterborne solution, when properly applied, offers substantial improvement in abrasion and chemical resistance and will significantly improve the durability of the concrete surface when compared to untreated concrete. GRANITEX penetrates into the concrete surface, a chemical reaction takes place, producing a byproduct that fills in the pores of the concrete. GRANITEX also solidifies the concrete, eliminating dusting and pitting.

Technical information and instructions:
Protective agent for concrete and stone surfaces, forming a water-repellent and gloss-enhancing coating.
HydroSeal 81C is a hydrophobic, transparent surface protection agent designed to create a non-wettable concrete or stone surface. HydroSeal 81C penetrates the concrete surface and forms a monomolecular layer. It complies with the requirements of standard EVS-EN 1504-2 for hydrophobic impregnation agents.
