Lythic® Densifier is a 99.5% pure silica densifier that is quick-reacting, residue-free, and safer than traditional metal silicate densifiers, offering time and cost savings while effectively hardening and densifying surfaces, including low lime and cementitious overlays.
Contact UsLythic® Densifier is the faster, safer, easier densifier. It is quick reacting, residue free, and pH less than 10, meaning you save time and money without sacrificing safety or effectiveness. Other densifiers rely on reactive metal silicates while Lythic® Densifier is a 99.5% pure silica. This allows Lythic® Densifier to be spray applied and react within 10 to 15 minutes. Lythic® Densifier even works on cementitious overlays and other low lime surfaces where traditional densifiers would not. When it is done reacting, there is no whiting or residue to remove or scrub off. Lythic® Densifier provides all the densification, hardening, and permeability benefits of traditional densifiers with a fraction of the effort. Lythic® Densifier XL offers the same benefits with a larger particle for faster build up when burnishing and repairing soft slab surfaces.
Lythic® Densifier increases these sustainable benefits with our eco-friendly Lythic® Densifier. Conventional densifiers based on silicates and siliconates are highly caustic – in the range of pH 10.5-12 – making them dangerous to handle. Sodium and potassium silicates form a chemical slurry byproduct that requires disposal as a hazardous material. Lythic® Densifier has low pH in the range of 9.5-10, so it is safer to handle. It does not leave a dangerous residue and there is no hazardous disposal. Lythic® Densifier has zero VOCs and contains no harsh chemical solvents.
Reactive Colloidal Silica is produced from abundant raw materials and utilizes a clean manufacturing process that does not release pollutants into the environment. It is an inert substance and does not pose a high risk to health when exposure occurs at low levels.Lythic® Densifier improves energy efficiency of construction, too. Most Lythic® Densifier products are shipped as concentrates to reduce transportation energy consumption. Lythic® Densifier eliminates the overnight curing of sodium silicate, possibly reducing job-site transportation energy. Installation of a Lythic® HardWear floor instead of diamond polishing can also substantially reduce energy consumption by high-voltage grinding and polishing machinery.
