reactive silicate hardener/densifier and dustproofer for concrete
LS/CS is a penetrating silicate treatment that hardens, densifies and dustproofs concrete flatwork. Unlike conventional hardeners, it does not have to be scrubbed or flushed. Simply spray LS/CS on the surface and spread it out with a microfiber pad. LS/CS will not trigger or contribute to surface ASR (alkali silicate reaction) and will dustproof freshly troweled “green” concrete, or existing floors of any age.
FEATURES
- Penetrates and cures quickly to produce better initial hardness.
- Most floors can be opened to traffic within one hour of treatment.
- Non-flammable. Non-toxic. Low-odor.
- Tested and conforms to California Collaborative for High Performance School Indoor Air Quality standards.
- Use can contribute to LEED® for Schools points (EQ Credit 4).

OVERVIEW
Consolideck® LS/CS provides an advanced alternative to conventional sodium or potassium silicate surface hardeners. This penetrating silicate treatment reacts with the concrete to produce insoluble calcium silicate hydrate within the concrete pores. LS/CS is appropriate for freshly troweled “green” concrete, or existing floors of any age and renders concrete floors dustproof.
Unlike conventional hardeners which deposit high concentrations of sodium or potassium salts, Consolideck LS/CS will not trigger or contribute to surface ASR (Alkali Silicate Reaction).
