Hermetix Densifier
- Chemical Family
- Silica
Hermetix Densifier is a colloidal silica-based densifier for concrete polishing systems that transform ordinary concrete surfaces into exceptionally durable, attractive, colorful floors. The concrete surfaces benefit from the Hermetix Densifier, displaying an attractive floor finish with exceptional durability. Hermetix Densifier is recommended for concrete floors where beauty, durability and use of environmentally friendly materials are important. Concrete surfaces treated with Hermetix Densifier achieve stunning visual and functional rejuvenation transforming them into colorful and expressive wear surfaces.

- Features
Abrasion Resistant, Durable, High Capacity of Penetration, High Hardness, Stain Resistant; The colloidal silica in Hermetix is suspended in an aqueous base and stabilized electrostatically.; It is a concentrated mono dispersion with particle sizes ranging from approximately 5 to 100nm in diameter.; The very-very fine particle size distribution in Hermetix allows for rapid surface penetration and the irregular variations in the surface area make rapid bonding with calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] in the concrete possible.

- Advantages
Hermetix has more reactive sites, so it goes to work quickly, within 1 - 2 minutes.; No brooming or working of the material is required.; It penetrates deeply and reacts more efficiently.; No overnight curing is required.; No caustic gel to scrub off; nothing to dispose off; the only residue may be a small amount of safe powder that can be vacuumed off during the polishing phase.; No whitening potential.; Non-hazardous; zero VOC.; Low pH (~8.7) and safe to handle.; Does not trap free, migrating moisture in the concrete slab.; Increases floor reflectivity, helping to reduce facility lighting and energy needs.; Fills the pore structure of the surface layer, making it denser and harder.; Increases stain and abrasion resistance.
- Weathering
- No adverse effect to ultraviolet light.
- Composition
- Amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO² )
- Maintenance
After completing the application of Hermetix the installer should provide the owner with maintenance instructions.; The floor treated with Hermetix needs to be cleaned regularly Hermetix cleaner.; Frequent and continued use of this treatment ensures satisfactory long-term performance.; Good housekeeping practices, such as regular mechanical sweeping, scrubbing and wet mopping will increase the life expectancy of the flooring surface.
- Installation
Use 1 part Hermetix to 4 parts of potable water.; Apply with the pump sprayer to saturation, a maximum rate of 500ft² per gallon.; Let the floor dry, for approximately one hour, and commence with the polishing/burnishing process.

- Substrate Requirements
On or below grade installation must have an efficient vapor barrier under the slab (min. 10 - 15 mil).; Moisture vapor transmission must be less than 3lb per ASTM F1869 and less than 80% RH per ASTM F2170 unless Duraamen moisture mitigation system is used.; Remove all sealers, paints, wax, coatings, floor coverings and their mastics as well as any surface contaminants such as oil or food spills.; Non-moving cracks and control joints must be routed, cleaned and filled with Përdure EJF.; Concrete surfaces to be polished require a hard steel trowel finish (3 passes)during placement.; Minimum compressive strength of concrete 3500psi.
