Dustproofer Hardener - Hardening and Dustproofing Concrete Surfaces - Biokil Crown

Biokil Crown Dustproofer Hardener

Concentrated Silicate Solution for Hardening and Dustproofing Concrete Surfaces

Biokil Crown Dustproofer Hardener is a concentrated silicate solution designed for direct application to concrete surfaces. It effectively hardens and dustproofs the surface, making it suitable for both internal and external use. The fast-acting formula leaves a residual surface to prevent further dusting and helps prevent bloom/efflorescence.

Key Features & Benefits

• Surface Hardening: Enhances the durability of concrete surfaces by hardening the top layer.
• Dustproofing: Reduces dust generation from concrete floors, improving cleanliness and safety.
• Efflorescence Prevention: Helps prevent the appearance of bloom/efflorescence on treated surfaces.
• Fast Acting: Quickly penetrates and reacts with the concrete surface for immediate results.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for new and old concrete/cement-based floors, screeds, and paving in factories, garages, and domestic dwellings.
