Traditional sodium silicate densifiers provide cost-effective concrete hardening solutions by penetrating deep into porous substrates and reacting with calcium hydroxide to form calcium silicate hydrate gel. This chemical reaction fills concrete pores, increasing surface density and abrasion resistance while reducing dusting. Ideal for basic warehouse floors and industrial applications where economy is paramount. While effective for hardening, sodium-based systems may contribute to efflorescence in certain conditions. Application creates dust-proof surfaces with improved wear resistance, though requiring longer drying times compared to newer technologies.
