Scofield - Formula One Lithium Densifier

Concrete must be at least 7 days, and preferably 28 days old. Surfaces must be dry and clean of all prior sealers, curing compounds, oils, or other foreign materials that might prevent penetration. If used as a first stage densifier or dye-lock for concrete polish work, grind to the desired aggregate exposure ending with 80 to 200 grit tools. Use brooms or vacuums to remove all grinding dusts, loose concrete laitance, and powders, or the densifier may permanently adhere them to the surface.

Distribute product with a pump garden sprayer to fully saturate the surface. Surfaces should remain wet 5 to 10 minutes. Work material into the surface with a broom, mop, or sponge to ensure product penetrates into substrate pores and microcracks. Take care not to create lap marks as they cannot be removed once the product has dried. If too much material has been applied, and it is puddled after 30 minutes, dilution and removal with a wet vacuum is recommended.

When the first application is dry to touch, a second coat can be applied to maximize densification properties. If used as a polishing aid, wet polishing can begin when dry to touch.

Coverage will depend upon method of application, surface porosity, age, moisture, absorption characteristics and the texture of the concrete. Coverage on flat finished concrete is typically 200–400 ft2/gal (4.9–9.8 m2/L). Old or soft concrete will require more material. Slabs ground to expose hard non absorptive aggregates will take less material.
