DENSI-SHIELD 200
Water-based densifying solution to enhance the hardness and durability of natural stone surfaces.
Description
DENSI-SHIELD 200 is a premium, ready-to-use, water-based densifying system designed to strengthen and harden natural stone surfaces. Applied after grinding at 200 grit, it penetrates deep into the stone, increasing its density and durability without altering its natural appearance. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications. Multiple applications may be required for softer stones. While it enhances stone strength, regular maintenance is recommended. Ensure proper ventilation and surface preparation before application for optimal results.
FAQs
What is Densi-Shield 200 used for?
Densi-Shield 200 is a water-based surface densifier that strengthens concrete, reducing dusting and improving durability.
Can I use Densi-Shield 200 on any stone type?
Yes, but softer stones may require multiple applications for best results.
Is Densi-Shield 200 a sealer?
No, it is not a sealing product. Regular cleaning of treated surfaces is recommended.
Is Densi Shield 200 suitable for high‑traffic commercial areas?
Densi-Shield 200 is engineered to penetrate deep into stone surfaces after grinding at 200 grit, chemically consolidating and hardening the substrate without altering its appearance. This densifying action significantly enhances surface abrasion resistance and reduces dusting, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic commercial environments such as hotel lobbies, retail walkways, and busy office corridors where long-term durability is essential.
What is the recommended curing time after applying Densi Shield 200?
Once applied to a clean, porous stone surface under proper ventilation, Densi-Shield 200 typically dries to the touch within 1–2 hours and can withstand light foot traffic after approximately 4–6 hours. Full chemical reaction and maximum hardness develop over the next 24 hours, at which point the treated area has achieved its optimal density and durability.
Can Densi Shield 200 be used on previously sealed surfaces?
No. Because Densi-Shield 200 functions by penetrating the stone’s capillaries and reacting in situ, any existing film-forming sealers or impregnators must be completely removed prior to application. Only a bare, unsealed stone substrate will allow the densifier to penetrate and bond effectively.
Is Densi Shield 200 safe for use around plants, pets, and pool areas?
Densi-Shield 200 is a water-based, low-VOC formulation that leaves no harmful residues once fully cured. When applied according to instructions and allowed the full 24 hours to develop, it forms a breathable, inert barrier that poses no known risks to surrounding vegetation, household pets, or pool water chemistry. To avoid any chance of runoff, do not expose treated surfaces to rain or irrigation water until the curing period has elapsed.
