Concrete Shield™ Potassium/Lithium Concrete Densifier is a ready-to-use, water-based silicate densifier designed to harden, dustproof and improve the abrasion resistance of new and existing concrete. Its potassium and lithium silicate blend penetrates the concrete surface and reacts with calcium hydroxide to form a denser, harder surface, making it ideal for polished concrete floors, warehouses, factories, garages and other high-traffic concrete areas.

Concrete Shield™ Potassium/Lithium Concrete Densifier is designed to increase the hardness, durability and abrasion resistance of concrete surfaces while reducing surface dusting.
The potassium and lithium silicate blend penetrates into the concrete and reacts with available calcium hydroxide to form additional calcium silicate hydrate within the surface structure. This reaction helps densify the concrete rather than forming a topical coating.
Concrete Shield™ Densifier is particularly suited to polished concrete systems, where progressive densification helps produce a harder surface capable of developing a higher-quality polished finish. It can also be used as a surface hardener and dustproofing treatment on industrial and commercial concrete floors.
Suitable for new or existing concrete, Concrete Shield™ Densifier can be used in warehouses, factories, workshops, retail areas, car parks, garages and residential polished concrete floors.
For premium polished concrete systems and later stages of the grinding process, consider Concrete Shield™ Premium Lithium Densifier.
Potassium and Lithium Silicate Blend
Apply Concrete Shield™ Densifier as an undiluted coat. Coverage is about 5–8 m² per litre, depending on how porous the surface is. To help absorption, scrub the product into the concrete with a stiff-bristle broom or floor scrubber for at least 30 minutes. Keep scrubbing until the surface feels slippery or the product thickens. Next, lightly mist the surface with water, then work the product in again for 10–20 minutes. Rinse the floor thoroughly afterward. Use a squeegee and wet vacuum to remove any excess product. Avoid letting the product pool or gather in spots, as this can cause problems.
For very porous or broom-finished surfaces, a second coat may be needed. Apply it 2–4 hours after the first coat dries.
Spray the densifier between grinding steps. For best results, apply it once during the first grinding and again during the last. Do not apply the densifier during polishing.

It penetrates concrete and reacts within the surface to increase hardness, improve abrasion resistance and reduce dusting.
A ready-to-use, water-based potassium and lithium silicate blend for hardening and densifying new or existing concrete.
Potassium/lithium densifiers combine two silicates for effective concrete hardening. Lithium densifiers are often used in premium polished concrete systems and later polishing stages.
Yes. It can be used on new or existing concrete that is clean, suitably prepared and able to absorb the densifier.
Yes. It hardens and densifies the surface, making it ideal for use during concrete grinding and polishing systems.
Yes. Hardening and densifying the concrete surface helps reduce dusting from weak or friable concrete.
No. A densifier reacts within concrete to increase surface hardness. A sealer provides additional surface protection against water, staining or contaminants.
Typical coverage is approximately 5–8 m²/L, depending on the porosity and condition of the concrete.
Yes. It is suitable for interior and exterior concrete surfaces requiring increased hardness and reduced dusting.
