Euclid Ultrasil DC9 is a water based silicate solution used to densify and cure concrete. It chemically reacts with the concrete surface to enhance hydration of portland cement, helping the concrete reach its design properties. Ultrasil DC9 becomes an integral part of the concrete, resulting in floors that are denser, more durable, and easier to maintain. Ultrasil DC9 may be applied to both freshly placed or existing concrete.
Euclid UltraSil DC9 is a water-based silicate densifier and cure designed for interior hard-troweled concrete floors. It reacts chemically with the concrete surface to enhance hydration of portland cement, helping concrete achieve its design properties while producing a denser, more durable, and easier-to-maintain floor. UltraSil DC9 can be applied to freshly placed or existing concrete and dries clear without changing the appearance of the surface.
