1. DESCRIPTION
GOODCRETE concrete sealer is the advanced economical, hardener and densifier for concrete. CS treatment deeply penetrates and reacts with the concrete to produce insoluble calcium silicate hydrate within the concrete pores. Surfaces treated with GOODCRETE CS will resist damage from water, surface abrasion, eliminate dusting and simplifies maintenance. GOODCRETE CS should be used where the specification calls for just a hardened floor with or without burnishing and no grinding or polishing is required. Typically this product would be used on new slabs either at the time of placement or after a wet cure, chemical cure or after 28 days of curing or construction. GOODCRETE CS can also be use on a previously densified floor where sodium or potassium was used at one time and the surface is starting to dust or deteriorate.
2. BENEFITS
Excellent Penetration
GOODCRETE CS contains a highly reactive lithium catalyst, which achieves a more efficient penetration into the floor surface and triggers a much faster and more complete reaction with the concrete than traditional sodium silicate.
Hardening
The GOODCRETE CS solidifies the component parts of the concrete into one solid mass, increasing the density, toughness, hardness and substantially increasing the abrasion resistance and durability of the concrete surface. Smooth steel troweled surfaces develop a marble-like finish and sheen. The GOODCRETE CS treated concrete has been
compressively tested 38% harder after 30 days
than fully cured untreated concrete. And will not peel or flake.Greater Abrasion Resistance Concrete floors treated with GOODCRETE CS will significantly improve abrasion, in comparison to conventional sodium or potassium hardeners.
Eliminates Dusting
In ordinary concrete, tiny particles of dust are pushed to the surface through an upward force called hydrostatic pressure, resulting in efflorescence, which leads to dusting. GOODCRETE CS eliminates efflorescence and prevents dusting making concrete easy to maintain.
Reduces or Eliminates ASR
(Alkali Silicate Reaction) due to high lithium content. High concentrations of sodium or potassium salts, which will contribute to surface crazing and surface ASR, are not present in GOODCRETE CS. Lithium will not absorb water or contribute to floor sweating.
Reduces Tire Marks
The rough, uneven texture of natural concrete causes tires to abrade, adding to their wear. A concrete floor treated with GOODCRETE CS will make the entire surface smooth, preventing this abrasion and leaving minimum tire marks on the floor.
Improves Condition of Old Floors
As concrete ages, surface stress, delaminating, curled cold joints, and other problems can arise. C2liquid hardeners/densifiers combined with our customized grinding and polishing technique can remove the top surface layer of the old concrete and strengthen the floor, increasing its impact and abrasion resistance.
Little or No Production "Down Time"
Cures quickly. Floor can be put into service
immediately after the application process is complete.
Due to the cleanliness of the process and the lack of
toxic or hazardous chemicals, floors can often be serviced while the plant is in full production.
Cost Effective
v GOODCRETE CS is easy to apply, up to 100m2/man per day, this efficiently save the expensive labor cost.
v After one time application, GOODCRETE CS can give permanent, all-sided improvement and protection of the floor's performance, appearance and light reflectance, whatever new or old. Thus, greatly deduce the costs of maintenance and repair.Environment FriendlyGOODCRETE CS is a water-based solution, it is odorless, colorless, non-toxic, non flammable, non-mutagenic & carcinogenic, complies with all known national, state and district AIM VOC regulations(safe in food preparation areas), fast drying, easy to apply.

Variations in concrete quality, porosity, job site conditions, temperature and relative humidity will affect coverage rates and drying times.Typical Coverage RatesCalculate Target Coverage Rate by testing a small section of the prepared surface using instructions found below.Calculating Specific Target Coverage Rate1. Prepare the test section in accordance with"Surface Preparation". Surfaces must be clean, dry and absorbent. Confirm surfaceabsorbency with a light water spray -surfaces designated for treatment should wet uniformly.2. Add 3.5L of GOODCRETE CS to a clean, pump-up sprayer fitted with an adjustable spray3. tip.Lightly apply according to "Application Instructions" steps #1-7 for the appropriate floor type. Repeat as necessary to determine correct rate of application.4. Measure the test area to establish the Target Coverage Rate per liter.Drying Time30 min. to 1 hour depending on weather conditions and concrete porosityFreshly Placed, Uncured Steel Troweled Concrete1) Saw cut control joints after final surface preparation.2) Clean concrete of saw debris or any dirt or residue.3) Using a low-pressure sprayer fitted with an adjustable spray tip, apply a single coat of GOODCRETE CSat a rate that covers the surface but does not produce puddles. Treated surfaces should stay wet for 5-10 minutes following initial application. Uniformly spread the product in a thin layer using a microfiber pad. The microfiber pad should be pre-moistened with GOODCRETE CS prior to use. Treat porous areas that dry in less than 5-10 minutes with additional GOODCRETE CS.4) Using a squeegee, water rinse or automatic floor scrubber, collect and remove after 15 minutes all residues, which do not penetrate. Failure to remove excess material may result in extended dry times and a dry powder residueresulting from liberal application of CS.5) Let treated surfaces dry thoroughly, typically 30 min. to 1 hour. Remove any dried powder residue from the surface using a stiff broom,6) power sweeper or floor scrubbing machine.7) Immediately apply the specified curing compound or initiate the specified curing procedure.8) Once dry, burnish to a high gloss finish using high-speed burnishing equipment fitted with C2HeatTM burnishing pads. Additional coats may be applied and burnished depending upon concrete porosity and desired finish.Cured, Steel Troweled Concrete1) Remove all dirt, debris, or curing compounds. Allow clean surface to dry.2) Confirm surface absorbency with a light waterspray. Make sure that prepared surface is uniformly wet and in hot, dry weather, lightly pre-wet the concrete with fresh water. Allow any standing water to evaporate.3) Follow steps 2 - 7 as described in "Freshly4) Placed, Uncured Steel-Troweled Concrete" for completion.Cured and Ground/Honed Concrete1) Grind or sand and level the concrete surface with an orbital floor machine, floor sander or diamond grinding machine equipped with a 50 to 200 grit sanding screen, diamond discs or diamond abrasive pad depending upon desiredexposure and size of the aggregate. Vacuum dry2) grinding equipment is preferred. Wash off or vacuum all sanding dust and debris and allow floor to dry.3) Follow steps 2 - 7 as described in "Freshly Placed & Uncured Concrete" for completion.Cured and Polished Concrete1) Follow steps listed above for Cured and Ground/Honed Concrete.2) To achieve desired finish, use progressively finer diamond discs and continue grinding from3) 800 to 3000 grit.4) Remove all dust and debris.5) For immediate and enhanced shine, burnish or6) buff the dry concrete surface in both directions using a burnisher fitted with C2HeatTM burnishing pads or an orbital floor machine equipped with a black, red or white pad. This is a dry buffing operation.Please Note: GOODCRETE CS is compatible with wet or dry grinding and polishing operations. The above procedures for polished and highly polished concrete may be customized by an experienced contractor to complement his grinding or polishing operation.9. CLEAN UPClean tools and equipment with fresh water.Immediately wash with water over sprayed glass, aluminum, or other surfaces.FINAL RESULTS The concrete surface is ready to use when dry. Smoothand hardened concrete surfaces should demonstratereduced water absorption, a satin sheen, and slightcolor enhancement upon drying. Maximum waterresistance and hardness will develop over 7 days. Surface sheen will increase with time and maintenance.10. MAINTENANCEDo not use acidic cleaners to maintain treated floors. Though GOODCRETE CS will improve the stain resistance of concrete some acid concentrates andacidic foods may etch and leave a residual stain if left on the surface. Clean up all spills quickly to minimize any possible damage. All sealers, both penetrating and coatings will only slow down the staining process.Spills must be cleaned up in a timely manner.Daily removal of surface dust and debris with a microfiber pad or dry dust mop will help maintain the desired appearance. Regular maintenance cleaning will improve surface shine. To refresh gloss surface, dry buff periodically with high-speed burnisher.Please Note: If additional protective treatments or surface coatings are desired, please consult GOODCRETE Co. or its local representative forRecommendations.RECOMMENDATIONSThe GOODCRETE CS recommendations for surface preparation and product application must be followed. Consult GOODCRETE Co. or its local representatives regarding applications in extreme weather conditionsAll loose construction debris and foreign materials must be removed from the area to be treated using a dry broom. All curing compounds, coatings, and paint, wax, embedded soiling, rust, grease and oilmust be removed to allow penetration.Always establish grinding starting point for every project.Confirm surface absorbency with a light water spray. If surfaces selected for treatment do not wet uniformly, additional surface preparation may be needed.Thoroughly neutralize and rinse acid stained concrete before applying GOODCRETE CS.Wastewater generated by wet grinding or polishing procedures should be collected and disposed of properly.For subsequent coating applications, perform proper surface preparation and consult the coatingmanufacturer for more instructions.The instructions for diamond grinding and polishing are guidelines and do not supersede those of the concrete polishing contractor.
