Pentra-Sil (H) is the preferred Nano-Lithium® densifier for freshly placed concrete and tilt-up construction slabs. It can also be used on existing concrete surfaces and cementitious overlays. This fast-drying, reactive formula provides maximum hardening to improve abrasion resistance and reduce dusting with a simple, one-coat application. If desired, curing compounds can be applied directly on top of the treated surface once it is dry.
Pentra-Sil (H) creates an extremely hard surface that is dense yet breathable. When applied to new concrete, it penetrates up to ¼ inch (7mm) where it reacts to form insoluble calcium-silica-hydrate, making concrete more water, stain, and abrasion resistant for easier maintenance and a longer life. The treatment leaves no film, reduces application time and cost, and allows most curing compounds to be more easily removed. This easy-to-use, water-based solution requires no rinsing and is VOC compliant.
Key Benefits Easy application, no rinsing required Penetrates, no film to lift or peel off Bond-breakers can be applied directly on top for tilt-up construction applications Reduces efflorescence and surface sweating Does not contribute to surface ASR, or surface crazing Compatible with integrally colored concrete, stains and dyes Curing compounds are more easily removed with scrubbing Resists stains and dusting, making concrete easier to maintain VOC compliant, may contribute to LEED points (IEQ credit)
