Consolideck BD1 for Type 1L Cement Mixes
Consolideck BD1 is a blend of silicates specifically formulated and tested to provide superior performance on Type 1L cement mixes. Ideal for use on steel-troweled or burnished concrete floors, this penetrating, economical treatment reacts with the concrete to quickly create a harder, denser surface.
Consolideck BD1 is appropriate for freshly troweled “green” concrete, or existing floors of any age and renders concrete floors dustproof. Unlike conventional hardeners which deposit high concentrations of sodium or potassium salts, Consolideck BD1 will not trigger or contribute to surface ASR (Alkali Silicate Reaction).
Consolideck BD1 is safer and easier to apply than conventional sodium silicate hardeners.
Features & Benefits
