How it works
The product is a clear liquid based on non-
hazardous metal silicates and wetting agents.
When the product is mixed with water and
applied to the floor, the solution penetrates the
concrete, reacting with lime and other soluble
particles to form granite hard crystals, leaving a
permanent, hard wearing surface. Surface dust
levels are considerably reduced for easier floor
maintenance and cleaning.
