PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Afzir’s concrete hardener takes center stage by deeply penetrating the concrete surface. As it permeates, it seeks out metal ions, including calcium and magnesium, initiating a chemical reaction that forms robust calcium silicate crystals. These crystals act as a formidable barrier, both voluminous and insoluble in water.
The resulting crystal formation greatly enhances the concrete’s resistance to pressure and wear, simultaneously obstructing the infiltration channels through which water would otherwise permeate. With each application, Afzir’s hardener imparts a lustrous sheen to concrete floors, elevating their aesthetic appeal.
This cutting-edge hardener acts as a shield, effectively safeguarding your concrete floors against a multitude of environmental and user-related factors. From the constant movement of people and vehicles to potential structural and non-structural damage, Afzir’s hardener ensures your concrete surfaces remain resilient and unyielding in the face of adversity.
Choose Afzir’s Lithium Silicate Densifier for Concrete and experience the transformation of your concrete surfaces into robust, visually stunning features that stand the test of time.

- Understand the product: Familiarize yourself with the specific Lithium Silicate Densifier you’ll be using.
- Communication with engineers/designers: Collaborate closely with project stakeholders for proper application.
- Surface preparation: Ensure a clean and contaminant-free concrete surface before application.
- Adhere to manufacturer guidelines: Follow instructions on application methods, dosage rates, and curing times.
- Schedule and coordination: Plan application to align with the project schedule and coordinate with other trades.
- Safety measures: Prioritize safety by providing ventilation and using appropriate PPE.
- Documentation and reporting: Maintain detailed records of application details for reference.
- Training and education: Ensure contractors are trained in proper handling and application techniques.
Preparation of the substrate:
- Ensure the surface is clean and free from contamination, oil, applied components, or foreign materials.
- Identify and repair any cracks, filling them with grout if necessary.
- Restore the final surface finish.
- Wash the surface and remove excess water.
- Allow the surface to dry and withstand traffic load without damaging the concrete.
Mixing:
- LSD™ Concrete Surface Hardener is ready-to-use, so gently stir before application.
Installation: - Apply LSD™ concrete hardener by spraying or using a roller/brush on the desired surface.
- Work until the hardener starts to gel or become sticky, then moisten the surface and continue working for another 10 to 15 minutes.
- Once the surface gels or becomes slippery, rinse with water and dry. Repeat this process after 30 minutes.
- Ensure the hardener is properly immersed in the concrete.
- Apply additional layers if the surface is absorbent.
Cleaning:
- Clean brushes, tools, and equipment, and spray with washable water immediately after use.
Safety:
- Adhere to standard precautions for chemical products during transportation.
- Avoid eating or smoking while working and wash your hands after work or during breaks.
- Use a protective mask to guard against airborne particles.
- Wear gloves to prevent skin inflammation and safety glasses to protect the eyes.
- Use clothing, gloves, and glasses resistant to chemical environments.
- In areas with poor ventilation, use a suitable breathing apparatus.
- Familiarize with Specifications: Understand project requirements and specifications for the densifier.
- Pre-Application Inspection: Assess the condition of the concrete substrate before application.
- Adherence to Manufacturer Guidelines: Follow instructions for application method, dosage rates, and curing times.
- Uniform Coverage: Ensure even application of the densifier across the surface.
- Penetration Assessment: Monitor and evaluate the depth of densifier penetration into the concrete.
- Drying and Curing: Follow recommended drying and curing times while controlling environmental conditions.
- Performance Testing: Conduct tests to verify densifier effectiveness against specified requirements.
- Documentation: Maintain detailed records of application details and test results.
- Communication with Stakeholders: Collaborate with project stakeholders and keep them informed.
- Continuous Monitoring: Regularly assess densifier performance and address any issues that arise.
