LithSeal SC Green Conscious Product

Lithium silicate concrete sealer/densifier

LithSeal SC is a top-quality lithium silicate sealer, densifier, and hardener designed for concrete surfaces. It effectively penetrates and chemically reacts with cured concrete to form a durable calcium silicate hydrate within the concrete pores. This process enhances the surface by making it more breathable, reducing porosity and dusting, decreasing water permeability, and improving abrasion resistance. Unlike other sodium silicate products, LithSeal SC does not leave a whitish residue, maintaining the natural appearance of the concrete.

  • Efficiently reduces application costs through a simple, one-step, low-pressure spray application.
  • Suitable for achieving architectural finishes without contributing to Alkali Surface Reaction (ASR) and avoiding the white residue common with other silicate products.
  • Significantly reduces dusting, porosity, and water permeability while improving abrasion resistance, light reflectance, and gloss.
  • Offers deeper penetration than conventional silicates.
  • Usable both indoors and outdoors, maintaining breathability.
  • Quick drying, ready for traffic within an hour for most floors.
  • Applicable to new or existing concrete floors.
  • Environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
  • Requires only a single, low maintenance application.
  • USDA accepted for a range of concrete floor classes including super flat floors.

Application

Surface Preparation

  • Ensure cleanliness: Surface must be free of cures, bond breakers, oil, dirt, grease, or debris.
  • Cleaning: Use SpecChem Orange Peel citrus cleaner followed by a neutral pH detergent and a thorough water flush.

Mixing and Application

  • Mixing: No mixing required.
  • Application: Apply with a low-pressure sprayer and a fan tip.
    • Spread uniformly with a soft broom or microfiber applicator.
    • Keep the surface wet for 15-20 minutes.

Placement Procedure

  • Material application: Saturate the surface, addressing porous areas that dry quickly.
  • Excess material removal: After drying, remove any powdery residue with a stiff broom, power sweeper, or floor scrubbing machine.

Finishing/Curing

  • Curing: LithSeal SC is fast-curing and ready for traffic within one hour.
  • Final shine enhancement: Achieve by buffing or burnishing with specific cleaning pads.
