DensiCrete
DensiCrete is a unique Zero VOC sodium silicate concrete sealer in an aqueous solution with proprietary wetting and dispersion agents. due to its unique formulation, has the following key characteristics:
- Penetrates Deeply into Concrete Matrix
- Prevents Carbonation
- Significantly Reduces Freeze/Thaw Deterioration
- Inhibits Rebar Corrosion Activity in Concrete
- Cleans Concrete Inside and Out
- Seals Concrete

|
- Densifies Concrete
- Increases Compressive Strength & Flexure Strength
- Zero VOC’s and NSF Approved
- Accelerates Curing Process
- Displaces Salt, Oil and Acid from Inside Concrete
- Extends the Life of Concrete

DensiCrete Tests:
- ASTM C-42 Compressive and Flexure Strength
- Compressive: 29% increase to 4,740 PSI
- Flexure: 28% increase to 543 PSI
- ASTM C-666 Freeze Thaw - Test stopped at 300 cycles
