For freshly placed concrete, the silicate concentrate with 30 % active content is diluted with water at 1:2 and sprayed ahead of the power trowel, after which it is trowelled into the surface. The manufacturer positions it as a modern alternative to dry-shake hardeners. The impregnation gives up to 30 minutes of extra trowelling time and reduces moisture evaporation (ASTM F1869). Work is carried out at +4…+35 °C.

Data from the manufacturer’s technical data sheet. The coating system, number of coats and quantity are selected for your project on request.
Lithium polysilicate impregnation for dustproofing and hardening concrete in workshops, warehouses and car parks; Taber abrasion resistance rises by 20–50 %.
Oil-based impregnation with a 'wet look' effect for polished floors in retail halls, workshops and decorative interiors.
Water-based impregnation for low-grade concrete, cement-sand screeds and terrazzo floors; the surface becomes 1.5–2 times stronger.
Lithium cleaner for routine cleaning of polished and ground concrete and terrazzo hardened with LITSIL products.
Industrial solvent for removing curing compounds, sealers, adhesives, oils and bitumen from concrete, free of methylene chloride.
Aqueous solution of potassium and lithium silicates for low-grade concrete and cement-sand screeds that makes the surface 1.5–2 times stronger.
