Sodium Silicate Floor Coating

It is designed to penetrate and protect the surface by reducing porosity and dusting and improve abrasion resistance and hardness.

Sodium silicate floor coating. Silicate densifiers are in the most simple of terms liquid glass that you spread on floors to fill and seal the pores. The kaolin serves simply as a compatible high temperature coloring agent. Our mission is to provide highest quality titanates and silicates to our buyers across the globe. Sodium and potassium silicates in aqueous solutions have physical and chemical properties that are useful in bonding and coating applications.

The sodium silicate however is the high temperature adhesive. It penetrates deep into the substrate where it chemically reacts to form a calcium silicate hydrate barrier within the pores that reduces increases the strength and density of the concrete by up to 45. It chemically reacts with the free lime and calcium in the concrete to form calcium silicate hydrate csh within the pores. In this application the sodium silicate 60 70 is typically mixed with kaolin 40 30 an aluminium silicate mineral to make the sodium silicate glued joint opaque.

Sodium silicate formulas have been around since the 1950 s and were initially used as concrete floor hardeners. Today because of their economical nature many concrete manufacturers and distributors claim sodium silicates to be effective waterproofers. The liquid will penetrate and harden leaving you with a shiny surface that is able to repel but not always stop stains from household contaminants and spills. Aqualon s 400 is designed to penetrate and protect the surface by reducing porosity and dusting to improve abrasion resistance and hardness.

These coatings are known as silicate mineral paint. When applied as a thin layer on or between surfaces of other materials the silicate solution dries to form a tough tightly adhering inorganic bond or film. 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. Armor s2000 is a concentrated sodium silicate concrete floor densifier hardener and sealer.

Sodium silicate solution is a clear water soluble premium sodium silicate concrete hardener that assists in the curing hardening and dust. 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.
