Description

Arkitight L is a liquid floor hardener, applicable to old concrete floors with low cement content or that are inadequately cured and starting to dust. A deep penetrating sodium Silicate solution, it is used for sealing friable concrete and masonry surfaces, increasing the top surface density and abrasion resistance of floor substrate. For new concrete surfaces, it helps to seal the floor against grease, oil and chemical spillage.

Characteristics:
- Deep-penetrating liquid hardener
- Protects and strengthens the concrete surface
- Improves surface density, abrasion, and chemical resistance
- Excellent dust-proofing property

Surface Preparation:
Concrete surfaces should be well cured and free from dirt, dust, oil, grease and foreign matters. Any unsound substrates, cracks, and pot-holes should be made good with the appropriate SKK filler product. Concrete is highly susceptible to uprising moisture, which can decrease the effectiveness of any coating system. Installation of a water-proofing membranes is mandatory to prevent glitches in the dynamics of any coating system. Smooth concrete surfaces may have to be chemically cleaned or mechanically scarified to provide bonding keys before the coating can be laid. Etching neutralizes the alkaline surface and provides a better bond. It also helps remove salt deposits or laitance that can occur on concrete surfaces.
Masonry and Mortar Substrate Masonry surfaces may peel due to efflorescence, where soluble salts are present. It is therefore essential to treat the surfaces free from dirt, dust, oil, grease and foreign matters. Environmental determinants like humidity can also cause — structural or superficial cracks with mortar. Restoration work should be carried out to amend these problems prior to the application of paint. If efflorescence is also evident, it must be removed before repainting. Remove all flaking or chalking paint from the damaged area by wire brushing or sandblasting. If surface is very porous, apply SK Floor Filler, an epoxy resin-based cementitious conditioner to mend the surface.
