Concrete Densifier

Concrete densifiers are chemical hardeners which are applied to concrete floors and substrates. They are designed to help reduce dusting and help make the surface less permeable to unwanted liquids.

What are the different concrete densifiers?

The three main concrete densifiers available are sodium silicate, potassium silicate and lithium silicate. All three of them contain the common mineral silicate which is the main element that is required to produce the chemical reaction within the cement. The sodium, potassium and lithium are the chemical elements which are used to transport the silicate molecule into the concrete. The differences between the three are the molecular size and a number of silicate molecules that they can transport. The lithium is the most reactive of the three because the lithium ion is larger than the sodium ion which means it can stabilize more silica in a liquid form.
