Pentra-Sil

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Pentra-Sil® (NL) Concrete Chemical Hardener, Sealer and Densifier is a patented
Nano Lithium™ surface treatment that both penetrates and seals by reacting
chemically to the concrete surface forming a clear, dense, durable and hard
inorganic topical surface layer that is breathable, abrasion-resistant, and
extremely hard. It is excellent for concrete floors needing long-term protection
against heavy wear and abuse, moisture, dirt and grime buildup, as well as
protection against alkalinity and efflorescence (salt residue.) Pentra-Sil®(NL) is a
colorless, odorless water-based solution that is V.O.C. compliant and
environmentally safe to use.
KEY BENEFITS
Penetrates deep inside the concrete capillaries chemically reacting with the free
lime forming a permanent insoluble bond with the concrete.
Forms a protective surface layer that is breathable, dense and abrasion resistant.
Creates a stronger, more impenetrable, and better-looking finish (satin – glossy)
that is dust-proof, resistant to staining and deterioration.
Reduces maintenance, cleaning costs and costly repairs.
UNIQUE CHEMISTRY
Pentra-Sil®(NL)’s unique reactive chemistry forms an insoluble bond with the free
lime forming an extremely strong Tri-calcium silicate compounds that bind
together micro particles (lime and fine aggregate) forming a non-expansive gel
that rapidly cures into inorganic cement that is stronger, more durable than the
cement itself. Pentra-Sil®(NL)’s unique atomic structure (Particle Size) and lower
viscosity to conventional treatments provides superior penetration within the
capillary channels providing a more consistent and uniform cure. The patented
Advanced Nano Lithium™ (NL) technology will not absorb water or effect
alkalinity and is suitable for both interior and exterior applications on new or
existing concrete.
Treated surfaces maintain the sheen even against pedestrian and traffic wear and
regular maintenance. Floors last longer and cost less to maintain and aesthetically
look better over time. In fact, the surface sheen increases with age and regular
maintenance from a satin to a glossy clear finish.
ADVANTAGES
• Molecular size of Lithium provides for deeper penetration more
permanent protection.
• Non-soluble / Non-expansive Lithium will not absorb water or cause the floor
to sweat (SSF).
• Will not scratch or peel.
• Chemically reacts with concrete to produce insoluble calcium silicate hydrate
making it harder and less permeable.
• Reduces dusting for cleaner and safer environments.
• Easy one coat application. No water wash required.
• Can be applied on fresh, newly toweled concrete and tilt-up construction slabs.
• Curing compounds can be applied on top of treated surfaces to provide ultimate
hydration without discoloring or whitening the surface.
• Does not contain sodium or potassium salts that may contribute to surface crazing,
efflorescence, and surface ASR.
• Provides high reflectivity (surface sheen) that beautifies concrete and holds up to
heavy traffic and improves aseptically over time.
• Treated surfaces require no waxing and provide immediate sheen that improves
over time with normal wear and maintenance.
• Water based, contains no solvents, low order. Low VOC content, < 50g/L.
• Permanent and durable surface resists marks, improves traction, and helps prevent
waterborne containments for staining.
• Makes concrete easier to clean, creating an environment that is less susceptible to
the proliferation of harmful bacteria.
• Prevents efflorescence and the leaching of lime.
• USDA approved for incidental food contact.
• Extends the life expectancy, and integrity of the floor lasting longer than other
floor sealer, hardener, or densifier technology.
• Little or no downtime.
