The Basics of Hard Concrete Densifier

Hard concrete densifiers are widely being used to chemically seal, harden and dustproof the concrete surfaces. These materials react chemically with the hydrated cement to densify the concrete surface permanently over a number of months. You will see impressive reaction when chemical floor hardeners are applied and the power scrubbing is done. Regardless of the type of chemical floor hardeners you choose, it's important to understand their features and benefits they are offering, such as reduced dusting, higher gloss impression, and a longer life expectancy of the concrete floor. Early on, people were skeptical when it comes to densifiers. After all, how could this clear liquid that had the appearance of water change the properties of concrete? What Are Hard Concrete Densifier The densifiers are water based chemical solution that first works by penetrating into the surface of the concrete which comes in contact with calcium hydroxide and produces calcium silicate hydrat

Use Floor Hardeners To Get The Perfect Polished Surface

Have you ever visited a warehouse and observed a shiny gray floor, when you observe closely  the surface looks like concrete. When you enquire around you are told that it is concrete but what they call the finish is Polished Concrete. What is polished concrete?

It hardens the surface a
