Application

Suitable for new and old cementitious surfaces, such as concrete floors and granolithic paving.


Should not be used to renovate concrete which is already disintegrating.

Description

Liquid surface hardener, dust proofer and curing aid designed for application to concrete and other cementitious floors.


Sethard S100 is based on water-based sodium silicate treatment. Sethard S100 reacts chemically with the concrete to produce clear, dense, durable and abrasion-resistant surfaces.


Features and benefits:

  • Results in densification, as it penetrates deep and reacts to form crystals that fill the pores of the concrete.
  • Significantly improves the abrasion resistance and hardness of the concrete surface.
  • Contributes to the enhancement of the compressive strength of concrete at all ages.
  • Increases water retention by 30%, which aids in the curing process of concrete.
  • Ensures proper bonding of subsequent coatings to the concrete surface since it eliminates surface concrete salts.
  • Acts as a dust proofer for concrete surfaces.
