Consolideck® Nonfood Compounds Program Listed R2 CONCRETE FLOORING PRODUCTS Registration #142260 LS/CS® Consolideck® LS/CS® provides an advanced alternative to conventional sodium or potassium TYPICAL TECHNICAL DATA silicate surface hardeners. This penetrating silicate FORM , colorless, treatment reacts with the concrete to produce odorless liquid insoluble calcium silicate hydrate within the SPECIFIC GRAVITY 1.05 concrete pores. LS/CS® is appropriate for freshly pH 11.0 troweled “green” concrete, or existing floors of any age and renders concrete floors dustproof. WT/GAL 8.6 lbs Unlike conventional hardeners deposit ACTIVE CONTENT 6% high concentrations of sodium or potassium salts, TOTAL SOLIDS 6% Consolideck® LS/CS® will not trigger or contribute to surface ASR (Alkali Silicate Reaction).
