Colloidal Silica DensifiersColloidal silica is up to1000 times less caustic than silicates, makingit safer for workers to handle and safer to use near other finishedsurfaces. Any application residue is non-toxic.Application of colloidal silica densifiers are easier and moresimplified; and unlike some silicates, there is no overnight curingrequired – speeding up project times.There is no disposal of hazardous material – reducing environmentalimpacts and health risks.No hazardous waste
Colloidal Silica Densifier ApplicationApplication simply involves applying the densifier via a spray-pumpapplicator and reapplying as needed to keep the surface wet for 15minutes.After the slab is allowed to dry for approximately one hour, it isready for polishing to a high reflective shine.Overnight waiting is not required,consequently eliminating theextra transportation-related energyconsumption of returning to thejobsite common when using silicatedensifiers.
