What is LS guard?

What is LS guard?

LS Guard® is a copolymer formulation that improves the surface sheen and stain resistance of conventional concrete, hardened concrete or cement terrazzo floors. Consolideck® LSGuard® protects and enhances the color intensity of integrally colored and color stained concrete.

What does concrete Densifier do?

A concrete densifier is a liquid chemical spread evenly across the floor that penetrates the top surface layer of concrete. Its purpose is to fill the porous holes formed from water evaporation during the curing process, similar to how water fills the pores of a sponge.

Should I use a concrete Densifier?

The use of densifiers is beneficial to nearly everyone involved in the process, from project owners to contractors to applicators. Owners will enjoy a more wearable, abrasion and stain resistant surface that reduces dusting and permeability while being easier to clean, resulting in reduced maintenance costs.

Can you paint over densifier?

Hi, you can paint, stain or dye after applying the L3000. I would avoid applying the L3000 after applying paint, stain or dye. Applying the L3000 first will ensure that you don’t end up with a visible white surface residue. Also, the L3000 won’t be able to penetrate a paint coating.

When should you densify concrete?

Answer: While polishing concrete, you want to densify after your 200 grit and before 400 grit typically, although we have customers that densify after 400 grit. If the floor is ‘soft’, you may even want to add an additional densification step earlier in the process to harden the floor.

Can you put sealer over densifier?

There are sealers which may be used after the application of a concrete densifier. A few manufacturers now have concrete densifiers that also contain sealers for a 1-step application. The sealer’s longevity is tied directly to the wear and tear on the concrete surface.

Can you stain concrete after densifier?

With medium-hard concrete densifier can usually be applied around the 200 to 400-grit range. Timing varies when it comes to applying densifier to concrete that will be dyed or acid stained. When using dyes the dye can be applied after the densifier because they will penetrate easily due to their solubility.

How do you remove concrete Densifier?

The removal of old concrete sealer can be done in one of two ways: mechanical or chemical. The mechanical way involves using some kind of tool to physically grind, sand, or blast away the sealer. This method can be noisy and damaging to the concrete.

Will concrete dusting ever stop?

If so, you may have a problem with concrete dusting. The good news is that dusting of a garage floor can be reduced in many cases and sometimes stopped completely depending on the severity and the solutions that are applied.

Is a concrete Densifier the same as a sealer?

Densifiers are not the same as sealers. They may help improve the stain resistance, but will not compare to a soak-in or topical sealer. Densifiers do not behave or perform in the same fashion as topical, epoxy (or other polymer) coatings.

What does lsguard do for concrete?

Ideal for application to standard gray or colored concrete, LSGuard protects and enhances the color intensity of integrally colored and color stained concrete. Consolideck LSGuard provides a long lasting, high gloss finish that eliminates the need for floor waxes, liquid polishes and conventional resin based coatings.

What is LSLs concrete sealer?

LS is a premium concrete flooring sealer, hardener and densifier that improves performance, appearance and light reflectance of new or old concrete. Treated surfaces resist damage from water and surface abrasion, are easy to maintain and require no waxing.

What is consolideck lsguard?

Consolideck LSGuard provides a long lasting, high gloss finish that eliminates the need for floor waxes, liquid polishes and conventional resin based coatings. LSGuard will not trigger or contribute to surface ASR (Alkali Silicate Reaction).

What is LS CS concrete hardener?

LS/CS is a penetrating silicate treatment that hardens, densifies and dustproofs concrete flatwork. Unlike conventional hardeners, it does not have to be scrubbed or flushed. Simply spray LS/CS on the surface and spread it out with a microfiber pad.
