Pentra-Sil (H) is a Convergent Nano-Lithium densifier for freshly placed concrete, tilt-up slabs, and existing cementitious surfaces.
Pentra-Sil (H) from Convergent is a Nano-Lithium densifier for freshly placed concrete, tilt-up slabs, and existing cementitious surfaces. The one-coat, no-rinse spray hardens the slab, cuts dusting, and improves water, stain, and abrasion resistance without a film. It can go down right after finishing, stays wet 20 minutes, and bond-breakers can go on top for tilt-up. Same material in a 55 gallon drum.

What is Pentra-Sil (H)?
It is a Nano-Lithium densifier from Convergent for freshly placed concrete, tilt-up slabs, and existing cementitious surfaces. One coat, no rinse, no film.
How does the 5 gallon pail compare with the 55 gallon drum?
The chemistry is the same. This page is the 5 gallon pail. The 55 gallon drum is the other pack of the same material.
Can it go down on wet, newly finished concrete?
Yes. It is the time-of-placement hardener. On machine-troweled concrete it may be applied immediately after finishing, after joints are cut and cleaned, or anytime after. Keep the surface wet 20 minutes.
Can a bond-breaker go on top?
Yes. The datasheet states bond-breakers can be applied directly on top for tilt-up. Curing compounds can also go on the treated surface once it is dry.
Is (H) the same as Pentra-Sil (HD)?
No. (H) is the time-of-placement densifier. (HD) is a different high-solids densifier for existing slabs and polishing. They are not sizes of each other.
