CETEX LCD – Liquid Curing & Densifiers not only cures the green concrete but also hardens it. When LCD is applied, it penetrates and settles in the pores or reacts with the hydroxide and oxides to produce bigger molecules which reduce the porosity of the surface. This traps the moisture of wet concrete, which aids in curing of wet concrete and makes the top layer more compact and dense thereby increases hardness and abrasion resistance of the applied surface. Mild usage of concrete can be started within 24 hours of application. This is beneficial for floors where movement is restricted during curing because of water or coating.
ADVANTAGES
- Due to early usage of surface, further work can be expedited, which saves precious time.
- No further cleaning / grinding of surface is required. It saves labour and time.
- Penetrates into the surface - it hardens and decreases porosity of treated surface.
- This traps water in wet concrete which is used for hydration / curing.
- It restricts movement of salt from concrete and deposition of salt on the surface.
- Quality and Durability of concrete surface improves due to lower salt on surface.
- It provides a tough protected long lasting surface that does not discolor.
- Improves abrasion resistance of the surface and prevents efflorescence.
- Protects the surface against scratching or peeling thus making it dustproof.
- It improves chemical and water resistance of treated surface.
- Concentrated - reduces logistic cost. One has to dilute with water before use.
- It is easy and economical to use. It saves labour, time and precious water.
