CONCRETE HARDENER

DERMAFIER is a lithium based colloidal penetrating densifier that is used in the polish concrete process as well as enhancing concrete surfaces.
DermaFier creates a breathable, filmless membrane by filling pores of concrete to increase abrasion resistance, improve surface strength and control ASR. The penetrating treatment stops liquid moisture but allows a reduced vapor permeability to make a breathable, protective surface. DermaFier is highly reactive with no residue to rinse away. When used properly DermaFier will fill pores, microcracks and increase surface hardness for permanent protection.

MIXING AND APPLICATION:

For soft concrete: soft concrete could be low psi, over watered concrete, concrete with too much air entrainment. One way to check is if it is easy to scratch. For this type of concrete, mist the surface with water, then apply the first coat of DermaFier at a ratio of 4-parts water to 1-part DermaFier. Wait a few minutes, until the wet look flashes, and apply a second coat diluted at 1 to 1 ratio with water. The first coat will penetrate more deeply into the moist concrete surface. The second coat will fill the pores and
react to close the surface.

For medium to hard concrete:

Usually interior slabs that have been power troweled. Apply 1 coat at a 1 to 1 ratio with water.
In either case, do not let DermaFier puddle on surface. If pudding does occur, immediately use a roller or boom to eliminate puddles.
