Chemisil Plus Li is a chemically reactive lithium silicate. It changes the chemical composition of treated surfaces filling the pores and capillaries of the concrete matrix with a hard dense gel. Chemisil Plus Li has a lower viscosity than other silaceous hardeners, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the concrete. Chemisil Plus Li also does not require scrubbing to facilitate penetration, reducing labor costs. Unlike sodium or potassium silicates, Chemisil Plus Li cannot leave an unsightly white salt deposit that is tenatiously bonded to the concrete surface. Should any salts appear, they are easily removed with a light brooming or water rinse.
Uses
- Interior horizontal concrete surfaces
- Freshly poured or older, cured concrete
- Industrial, commercial or warehouse floor slabs
- Food preparation, storage and distribution centers
- Convention centers, sports facilities
- Freezers, cold rooms, walk-in chillers
- Schools, hospitals, retail outlets
Advantages
- Increases surface density and durability
- Lower viscosity for deeper penetration
- Reduces labor costs by eliminating the need to be scrubbed into the surface
- Any residue can be easily broomed or rinsed from the surface
- Reduces surface absorption of liquids yet allows moisture vapor transmission
- Resists black tire marks
- Will not peel, scratch or delaminate
- Develops satin sheen
- Naturally slip resistant
- Dries quickly for minimal downtime
- Normal life expectancy of twenty years
- Minimizes maintenance costs and labor
