Concrete diamond polish TOPCOAT
Silicate protective sealer, clear coat for diamond polished, stained concrete.
Clear polymeric sealer, topcoat, conditioner designed to be applied over concrete that has been densified by LIQUID QUARTZ silicates and polished. Application of this product introduces additional colloidal silica to the concrete plus a thin tough clear polymeric coating that contributes to additional protection and durability. Protects against staining from spills and abrasion in high traffic areas on polished concrete.
Priced by the gallon. Packaged in 5 or 55 gallon containers.
Description
Specially formulated to be applied as a thin clear top coat finishing conditioner over polished concrete. Also recommended to bring out the color in pigmented, stained or dyed concrete giving it a slightly wet look that works perfect with exposed aggregate. This product also contributes to stain resistance of polished concrete, hence useful against mild acids that are present where food is handled. Also contributes to water repellency, stain resistance and gloss retention. Sold and shipped as a concentrate. 1 gallon of concentrate makes 3 gallons of usable product. Coverage 1500 – 2000 square feet per gallon.
- Easy to apply as a topcoat protectant over polished concrete and dyed, stained or pigmented concrete.
- Nano particle size active ingredients fill up fine pores and fine cracks that results in a smoother surface.
- Contributes to better stain resistance, water resistance, wear resistance, gloss retention.
- Shipped as a concentrate. Can be thinned with 2 gallons of water.
- Effective even when applied as a thin layer.
- Formulated and MADE IN THE USA.

Technical Data Sheet USSC's lithium concrete DENSIFIER-LIQUID QUARTZ with water repellent sealer
USSC's concrete Densifier is a formulation of penetrating lithium silicates that reacts with concrete to produce
insoluble calcium silicate hydrate within the concrete pores.
Addition of the special water repellents increases the treated surfaces performance to be more resistant to water damage and surface abrasion and also reduced dusting with less maintenance. USSC Densifier will not contribute to surface ASR ( Alkali Silicate Reaction ).
Properties
- May be applied to broom finished, steel trowelled, power trowelled or burnished concrete finishes.
- Penetrates and reacts quickly to produce better initial and ultimate hardness
- Added water repellent enhances the ability of the concrete to resist water damage and stains.
- Produces a fast surface gloss which improves with traffic and maintenance.
- Improves performance, appearance and light reflectance of new or old concrete.
- Reduces application time and costs of diamond polishing operations.
- Will not contribute to surface crazing. High lithium content combats surface ASR.
- Lithium will not absorb water or contribute to floor sweating.
- Breathable and UV stable. Will not yellow, discolor, peel or flake.
- VOC Compliant. Non flammable. Non toxic. Low odor.
- Cures quickly. Most floors can be opened to traffic within one hour of treatment.

Preparation
Protect people, vehicles, property, plants and all surfaces from the product, splash and wind drift.Use
polyethylene or other proven protective material. May be applied to freshly placed concrete after final
finishing and installation of the control joints. USSC Densifier is ideal for application to existing, cured
concrete of any age. Surfaces must be clean and structurally sound. Remove all foreign materials including
bond breakers, curing agents, surface grease and oil, and construction debris. Application may begin as
soon as prepared surfaces are dry and free of pooled water. Do not apply to surfaces that are frozen, dirty or
have standing water.
Surface & Air Temperatures : Temperatures for application should be 40-100°F (4-38°C).
Equipment : Apply with low-pressure sprayer, mop or a soft-bristled push broom.
Storage & Handling : Store in a cool, dry place. Always seal container after dispensing. Do not alter or mix with other chemicals.
Published shelf life assumes upright storage of factory-sealed containers in a dry place. Maintain
temperatures of 40-100°F (4-38°C). Keep from freezing. Do not double stack pallets. Dispose of in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
Application
TEST using the equipment and procedures selected for general application. Follow the application
instructions below to pre-test each slab. Pretesting will confirm the suitability of the surface preparation
and application procedures proposed for general application. Pre-testing will also determine the average
coverage rates to be maintained over the entire project. Let surfaces dry thoroughly before inspection and
approval. Surfaces to be treated must be clean, dry and absorbent. Confirm surface absorbency with a light
water spray – surfaces designated for treatment should wet uniformly. Do not dilute or alter.
Typical Coverage Rates : Variations in concrete quality, porosity, job site conditions, temperature and relative humidity will affect coverage rates and drying times.
Typical coverage rates are as follows:-
Freshly Placed, Uncured, Steel Troweled Concrete
- 600–800 square feet per US gallon
- 56–93 square meters per US gallon
- 15–25 square meters per liter
Cured, Steel Troweled Concrete
- 500–700 square feet per US gallon
- 46–83 square meters per US gallon
- 12–22 square meters per liter
Cured, Ground/Honed Concrete
- 400–500 square feet per US gallon
- 37–74 square meters per US gallon
- 10–20 square meters per liter
