Lithium Silicate Densifier for Concrete

Series 35 - Diamond Glass Densifier

Description
The 35 Series Diamond Glass Densifier is an eco-friendly, impregnating lithium silicate densifier
specifically designed to be used in the polishing of natural and cementitious surfaces. It is a
concentrated formula and dilutes with water. It can be used in both interior and exterior applications.
The Diamond Glass Densifier penetrates and protects the surface without affecting its natural
appearance. The polishing application increases the abrasion resistance while increasing the resistance
to freeze/thaw scaling, efflorescence, spalling, staining, mildew and fungi, and water intrusion. The
enhanced penetration capability with the NANO glass beads provide extended life, higher abrasion
resistance with lower maintenance requirements, reduced cleaning costs and repairs while achieving an
extremely high degree of reflection. It forms a dense, breathable, surface that will not flake or peel.
The natural reaction of the lithium silicate with the lime / calcium hydroxide of the cement close off
most of the fine capillaries in the concrete creating a highly dense, hard surface and greater light
reflection.
Uses
The 35 Series Diamond Glass Densifier can be use over stucco, granite, natural stone, limestone,
terrazzo, decorated concrete and any material made with Portland Cement as a binder. Typical
applications include concrete, polished concrete or stone flooring, countertops or any porous surface,
natural stone or cementitious product, requiring added protection or reflectivity.
Surface Preparation
Ensure the substrate is dry and free of all foreign materials such as curing agents, laitance, glaze,
efflorescence, dust, dirt, oil, grease, curing compounds, etc. that may impair or prevent penetration or
bonding.
Application
The 35 Series Diamond Glass Densifier may be applied by spray, roller or brush. NOTE: Be sure to
stir or shake thoroughly before applying. As a densifier for polished concrete it is best applied with a
pump type sprayer and applied with a microfiber floor applicator. Mix the product with 4 parts water
to 1 part Diamond Glass Densifier (one gallon container makes 5 gallons of ready to use densifier).
Surface should be evenly saturated. Do not allow liquid to puddle. Depending on surface porosity,
climate and temperature, dry time can be as much as 2 hours.
Once treated, the surface can take foot traffic after 2 hours. The surface will continue to harden over
time, reaching its maximum durability and resistance over approximately 7 days.
Use water to clean tools or equipment, no special or hazardous disposal methods are necessary.
Limitations
Do not apply when temperatures are below 40° F or above 100° F. In hot, dry, windy conditions, you
may consider lightly dampening the surface prior to applying Diamond Glass Densifier.

Coverage
Coverage can vary from
surface to surface
depending on roughness,
porosity and density of
the medium being
applied. Application
technique can also vary
the coverage. On smooth,
dense surfaces, the
coverage should generally
range from 400 to 800
square feet per gallon.
