Lithium polysilicate are silicate sealers used that widely to increase the strength of the concrete. It chemically react with the free lime and calcium below the concrete surface.
Advantages of Lithium polysilicate are as below.
– Lithium polysilicate is considerably more alkaline, raising the pH of the surface concrete and reducing the possibility of alkali-silica reaction.
– Lithium silicate easily penetrates into concrete because of its low viscosity, and hence harden concrete properly.
– Lithium polysilicate improves concrete abrasive resistance, surface strength, longevity and durability.
– Lithium polysilicate leaves no residue to clean up provided that the correct amount is applied.
– Lithium polysilicate improves protection against staining and freeze-thaw cycle damage.
– Lithium polysilicate can be applied to the concrete surface quickly and easily.
– Lithium polysilicate is highly reactive, so it reacts with concrete easily.
– Lithium polysilicate can be used to decorate concrete surfaces.
