Sodium Silicate Concrete Floor Application

Both sodium silicate and silico fluoride solutions are applied to clean dry sound concrete floors as dilute aqueous solutions 10 to 15 per cent solids in 2 to 3 applications taking care to ensure that the solution penetrates and is absorbed into the concrete surface.

Sodium silicate concrete floor application. The size of the csh structure formed will depend on the amount of free lime and calcium present in the concrete at the time of application how much sodium silicate was applied how the sodium silicate sealer was applied and by who the density and porosity of the concrete surface the ph of the concrete present moisture and more. Silicate based densifiers keep them that way and make it a great start to safe indoor air quality in a home this is an excellent flooring option for anyone with chemical sensitivities who wants a beautiful and durable eco friendly floor in their passive solar home especially as built correctly with sufficient subfloor insulation a. Application of silicates produces calcium silicate hydrate which fills the pores to densify the concrete floors thereby decreasing the porosity and increasing the strength. Eucosil is a water based sodium silicate solution used to densify and dustproof concrete eucosil chemically reacts within concrete and becomes an integral part of the surface making treated concrete denser and easier to maintain.

Aqualon s 400 is designed to penetrate and protect the surface by reducing porosity and dusting to improve abrasion resistance and hardness. Polished concrete floors are extremely durable and non toxic. Aqualon s 400 is an environmentally friendly voc free sodium silicate concrete floor densifier hardener and sealer which works by reacting with the free lime in the concrete. Armor s2000 is a concentrated sodium silicate concrete floor densifier hardener and sealer.

The silicate application closes the surface pores and seals them while wet. It chemically reacts with the free lime and calcium in the concrete to form calcium silicate hydrate csh within the pores. Densifier sealer and dustproofer for concrete. Harden it is a water based silicate solution concrete sealer which penetrates into the pores of concrete surfaces where it can chemically react with the available lime to densify and harden the surface from within.

It is designed to penetrate and protect the surface by reducing porosity and dusting and improve abrasion resistance and hardness. The silicate or silico fluoride reacts with the small amount of free lime. A solution of sodium silicate and a curing agent can be applied to the surface of a fresh layer of concrete after the area has been covered and kept moist for 24 hours. With a penetrating sealer delivering silicate into the concrete the silicate will react chemically with the calcium free lime and various alkalis within the concrete to create more csh which increases the concrete s strength.
