How to protect the floor in a damp industrial area
The problem of humidity and other adverse factors in production halls is urgent in many factories and other industrial institutions. Even monolithic structures such as concrete floors suffer from dampness, dust, and mechanical damage, and many owners are thinking about how to protect them from moisture. Today we will talk about the Teknoser Lityum concrete hardener, which will help solve the problem of dampness and other operational nuances.
What is a Teknoser Lityum hardener?
The hardener is a special water—based liquid that penetrates deep into the pores of the material and, forming a special film, protects the surface and many adverse factors. Teknoser Lityum belongs to the group of lithium silicate materials, the molecular structure of the liquid consists of microcrystals that cover the pores of concrete. In practice, such a substance is simply applied to a layer of fresh dried concrete and does not require finishing.
Advantages of Teknoser Lityum Concrete hardeners
Due to the special crystal structure, the material has a number of advantages:
- it forms a special film that protects concrete from the harmful penetration of moisture, which significantly increases the durability of the floor structure
- the wear resistance of the surface, which increases significantly, provides protection from mechanical damage
- by enveloping the concrete surface, the hardener prevents the appearance of cracks
- the composition eliminates the formation of dust on the concrete coating, so if you encounter dusting of concrete, the hardener will perfectly solve this problem
- despite the enveloping properties, the material remains vapor permeable, which means that condensate will not form in an industrial room
- the glossy coating obtained after applying the composition does not require finishing
- the simplicity of application — using a spray gun in one layer — allows you to cope with the task even for a person far from construction
- since the material has a water base, washing floors in the workshop will only increase the wear resistance of the coating
How the hardener is applied
Before applying a layer of hardener, the surface must be cleaned of oils, drying oils, paints and other substances. The ideal solution is to cover fresh, recently filled concrete surfaces that have already dried with a sealant. Pre-wet concrete floors, then apply the composition using spray guns in one layer, level the liquid with an ordinary roller. After drying, the concrete coating is completely ready for operation.
