Hardeners & Densifiers

CETEX FCD Fast Curing & Densifiers not only cures the green concrete but also hardens it. When FCD is applied, it penetrates and settles in the pores or reacts with the hydroxide and oxides to produce bigger molecules which reduce the porosity of the surface. This traps the moisture of wet concrete, which aids in curing of wet concrete and makes the top layer more compact and dense thereby increases hardness and abrasion resistance of the applied surface. Mild usage of concrete can be started within 24 hours of application. This is beneficial for floors where movement is restricted during curing because of water or coating.

Concrete Finishing Aid is colloidal silica based finishing aid which improves workability for better finish of concrete surface. When CFA is applied on the surface, amorphous silica adds lubrication to the cement paste and increases the hydration of cement, resulting in higher strength and lower porosity.

CETEX LSH is a silicate based solution designed to harden a wide variety of cementatious surfaces. When LSH is applied, it penetrates the surface and it reacts with the free calcium hydroxide to produce a by-product, which fills up the pores on the surface.

Lithium Densifier is concentrated & premium nano-lithium based densifier / hardener for cementatious surfaces. It is safer, faster and easier to apply. It penetrates deep in the concrete to produce insoluble calcium silicate hydrate within the concrete pores. The increased surface hardness imparted by LD drastically improves abrasion resistance, reduces liquid penetration and dusting and simplifies maintenance. ADVANTAGES No scrubbing. No flushing. No wastewater. By reducing the pores of the surface, it aids in curing of green concrete. Can be applied on any uncoated concrete or mortar finishes in both new as well as old constructions. Treated surface is breathable, but seals micro-channels against chemical attack that cause corrosion. Helps reduce damaging alkali-silica reactions (ASR) and protects from weathering and efflorescence. Penetrates deep into the surface to improve hardness, compressive and flexural strength of surface. Provides better abrasion resistance than conventional hardeners. Reduces application time and costs of diamond polishing operations. Though it improves gloss and hardness, it does not reduce slip resistance. Treated surface is breathable, UV stable and maintains natural appearance. Produces a fast permanent surface gloss which improves with traffic and maintenance. Makes the surface better looking and dust-proof. Will not yellow, discolour, peel or flake. Cures quickly. Treated surface can be used within one hour of treatment. VOC content is nil, thus helps earning LEED points in green building. is concentrated. Hence economical for transport. Non-flammable. Non-toxic. Low odor. Reduces maintenance, cleaning costs and repairs. It is economical to use.

CETEX LPD is potassium silicate based, which hardens a wide variety of cementatious surfaces. When LPD is applied, it penetrates and reacts with the free calcium hydroxide to produce a Calcium Silicate, which fills up the pores on the surface. This aids in waterproofing and anti-carbonation treatment of concrete surface. ADVANTAGES Penetrates into the surface to harden and decrease the porosity of the surface. This restricts the passage of water through the pores. This helps in curing of wet concrete and water proofing of set concrete. It improves the light reflectance and on polishing the surface results in permanent and attractive sheen. It provides a tough protected surface that does not discolor or show pedestrian or vehicular wear marks. Improves the abrasion resistance of the surface. It is more stable and has lower efflorescence compared to than sodium based compounds It improves resistance of the surface against various gases and liquid chemicals . Protects the surface against scratching or peeling thus making it dustproof. Concentrated for easy transportation and can be easily applied. It can be applied in both new as well as old constructions. It is economical to use.

When LSH is applied, it penetrates the surface and it reacts with the free calcium hydroxide to produce a by-product, which fills up the pores on the surface. ADVANTAGES Penetrates into the surface to harden and decreases the porosity of the surface. It improves the light reflectance and on polishing, the surface results in permanent and attractive sheen. It provides a tough protected surface that doesnt discolour or show pedestrian / vehicular wear marks. Improves the abrasion resistance of the surface. It improves the chemical resistance of the surface. Protects the surface against scratching or peeling thus making it dustproof. Ready to use and can be easily applied. It can be applied in both new as well as old constructions. VOC content is nil, thus helps earning LEED points in green building earning. It is economical to use.

CETEX DLD is direct to use premium Nano-Lithium Silicate based densifier / hardener for cementatious surfaces. It is safer, faster and easier to apply. Being the smallest form of silicate it penetrates deep in the concrete to produce insoluble calcium silicate hydrate within the concrete pores. The increased surface hardness imparted by DLD drastically improves abrasion resistance, reduces liquid penetration and dusting and simplifies maintenance.

CETEX DLPD is potassium silicate based, which hardens a wide variety of cementatious surfaces. When DLPD is applied, it penetrates and reacts with the free calcium hydroxide to produce a by-product, which fills up the pores on the surface. This aids in trapping the moisture of wet concrete, which aids in curing of wet concrete.
