Crete Colors Technology

All concrete hardeners and thickeners on the market today generally provide three main benefits:
Surface hardening
Stopping pollen
Surface sealing
These benefits are due to the chemical reaction between the actual silicate/silicate, cement and calcium hydroxide (free lime) in the concrete.

When the reaction takes place, crystals are formed that fill the empty pores in the milky concrete, creating a hardened and compacted surface.

Lithium silicate evenly penetrates into the tight finish of mechanically trowelled, smooth concrete, ground and polished concrete, "broom" finished or hand trowelled. This is possible due to its small molecular structure.

In contrast, sodium silicate is much larger and has difficulty penetrating more compacted floors evenly.

Lithium silicate will react evenly, filling all empty pores, with no inconsistencies or weak spots on the surface.

Sodium- or potassium-based hardeners will react unevenly, so they will leave weak spots on the surface, which will eventually damage these areas and cause dusting.

Lithium silica reacts with the calcium hydroxide in the concrete to form stable tricalcium silica structures that are insoluble, providing greater density and resistance to abrasion, dusting and wear. 

In contrast, the single structure of sodium silicate creates the possibility of deterioration, dusting and attack on the surface.

A concrete surface that has been hardened and compacted through consistent and deeper penetration will provide increased hardness, abrasion resistance, long-term durability and a dust-resistant surface, making the surface easy to clean and maintain.

The lower viscosity and alkalinity allows C² lithium hardeners to achieve deeper and more complete penetration.
This creates a denser, firmer bond, leaving far fewer unreacted calcium hydroxide molecules with a wider distribution of lithium particles during absorption.

Benefits

littler particles
Smaller lithium particles make the reaction more uniform and consistent, creating a denser surface.
On the other hand, sodium and potassium thickeners react inconsistently and irregularly, leaving clusters of calcium hydroxide, over-reacted and unreacted, scattered over the surface of the concrete, causing weaker, irregular binding.

This forms the basis of a potential problem if moisture penetrates the concrete substrate, initiating an alkali silica reaction (ASR).
Crete Colors Technology C² lithium hardeners react with calcium elements in concrete, building strong and very stable silicate structures, maximizing and extending the reactivity of lithium.
C² lithium hardeners also react with the calcium hydroxide covering the substrate to form complex tricalcium silicate compounds that retain moisture.

These compounds block micropores in the concrete, virtually eliminating moisture absorption into the concrete substrate. Although these reactions are typical of most surface thickeners, C² lithium hardeners react more fully and uniformly than sodium and potassium.
C² lithium hardeners do not absorb water like sodium or potassium and are less soluble in water. This makes the concrete more water-resistant.
concrete without ASR
C² lithium hardeners do not cause cracking or micro-cracking and do not form a silica gel that seals the surface of the concrete, like sodium and potassium hardeners.
concrete without ASRCrete Colors Polska's lithium hardeners prevent or reduce alkali silica reactivity (ASR).
Silica in the aggregates reacts with the bases in the hydrated cement to form a gel that expands when water is introduced.

This reaction creates tremendous pressures that cause cracks in the concrete (spider web), which lead to accelerated deterioration of the surface protective layer.

These cracks and microcracks allow water to penetrate the substrate, causing corrosion of reinforcing steel, freeze-thaw damage and other problems. C² lithium hardeners will help keep moisture away from the substrate and prevent chemical reactions between alkalis, silica and moisture from occurring. ASR reactions will not happen without water.
ASR concrete cancer
Sodium and potassium hardeners directly contribute to the ASR problem due to the very nature of adding potassium and sodium to concrete.
C² lithium-based hardeners, using a refined and proprietary formula, are potassium- and sodium-free.

C² thickeners deliver lithium components to the concrete substrate as opposed to potassium and sodium.
All C² Lithium products are safe for the planet.

Why Lithium?

C² liquid hardeners/thickeners are silica-rich chemicals that react with the calcium hydroxide in the concrete to fill pores, strengthen and harden the top wearing layer.
Crete Colors Polska liquid hardeners/thickeners are more durable than topcoats. Durable impregnation of the floor surface can be achieved for the life of the concrete with a single application.
Your floor can be put into service immediately after the application process is complete. Because of the cleanliness of the process and the absence of toxic or hazardous chemicals, floors can often be serviced while the plant is in full production mode.
C² liquid hardeners/thickeners also contain a highly reactive lithium catalyst that helps achieve much greater penetration of the floor surface and results in a much faster and more complete reaction with the concrete.

As concrete ages, surface stresses, delamination, undermined expansion joints and other problems can occur. C²'s liquid hardeners/thickeners, combined with our customized grinding and polishing technique, can remove the top layer of old concrete and strengthen the floor, increasing its resistance to impact and abrasion.
Most flooring systems, including tile and linoleum, require aggressive scrubbing to maintain a clean environment and nice appearance. Surfaces coated with C² liquid hardeners/thickeners are well compacted to reduce stains and do not require waxing or stripping to maintain gloss.
Even the finest unprotected concrete floors deteriorate relatively easily under industrial traffic conditions. Floors treated with C² liquid hardeners/thickeners will significantly improve wear resistance.
The polished floor, although shiny, does not create a slippery floor.
The reflective properties of the compacted floor surface increase the illumination of objects. The increased ambient lighting will reduce energy bills, as well as be aesthetically pleasing.
In ordinary concrete, fine dust particles are pushed to the surface by an upward force called hydrostatic pressure, which causes efflorescence. The efflorescence leads to dusting. Crete Colors Polska products eliminate efflorescence and prevent dusting in just one application.
The rough, uneven texture of natural concrete causes tire abrasion, increasing wear and tear. A concrete floor protected with C² liquid hardeners/thickeners will make the entire surface smooth, preventing abrasion and leaving minimal tire marks on the floor surface. Normal cleaning can easily remove these surface blemishes.
VOC-free. Utilizes existing floor surfaces, eliminating coatings and targeting sustainable construction, making it friendly to any LEED project.
