Pentra-Sil - Lesa Pentra Floor

Pentra-Sil
(NL) HD+C
®
Type I Class A & B
Surpasses ASTM C309 Moisture Retention Requirement
Hardener, Densifier
and Cure
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Pentra-Sil (NL) HD+C is a water-based, clear, dissipating membrane-forming curing
compound, hardener and densifier that surpasses ASTM C-309 Liquid Membrane –
Forming Compounds for Curing Concrete moisture retention requirements. This single
component application forms a tougher, abrasion resistant surface compared to
traditional methods requiring post-densification (28 days later). Excellent for commercial
and industrial concrete floors that need long-term protection against heavy wear and
abuse, moisture, dirt and grime buildup. This earth friendly / bio based compound
contains no solvents and has a VOC content<100g/L making it compliant in all regions of
the United States.
This patent pending, all-in-one lithium formula is applied to fresh concrete slabs
immediately after finishing operations are complete. The unique chemistry forms a film
on the surface, restricting the amount of water that can evaporate from the concrete
while at the same time allowing the lithium silicate component to penetrate and react
with the free-lime and unhydrated cement particles to improve both the curing and the
hardening characteristics. This product also provides substantial benefits over solventbased or older water-based curing technologies because it does not need sunlight to
dissipate and will begin to breakdown within 14-28 days eliminating the cost associated
with cleaning hard-to-remove curing compounds.

KEY BENEFITS
• Meets actual ASTM C-309 moisture retention
• Cost effective one step curing and hardening
• Easy auto-scrub final cleanup
• Contributes to LEED EQ credit 4.2
IMPORTANT NOTES
Meeting ASTM C-309 is important. Preventing the floor from damaging effects of spills
and stains or hard-to-remove curing compounds is important too. Our new all-in-one
does both, eliminating up to 4 steps vs. traditional post hardening methods.
Typically densifiers take too long to dry if applied at the recommend application rate,
making them difficult to apply before curing. Either they are applied at lower than
recommended application rates prior to conventional curing in order to get the curing
compound applied in time or they are applied post curing, usually after 28 days, when
extensive and expensive cleaning is required to remove curing resins and staining. A
post-curing hardener application can also require chemical stripping and cleaning,
pressure washing, or even light sand blasting to prep the floor for proper densifier
application. With Pentra-Sil (NL) HD+C, the slab is densified and protected during
construction, and the final cleanup is much easier, leaving the owner with a better
looking slab at turnover.
ADVANTAGES
• Cures, Hardens and Densifies in a single application immediately after finishing.
• E
asy to apply, ready to use liquid can be applied by either the concrete finishing
contractor or sub-contractor.
• S aves money and time reducing costly labor steps in application, cleaning and post
re-applications.
• D
oes not need sunlight to dissipate and will begin to breakdown within 14-28 days
reducing costs associated with curing compound removal.
• N
on—soluble / Non-expansive Lithium will not absorb water or cause the floor to
sweat (Surface Sweating Syndrome).
• M
inimizes hairline cracking, dusting, spalling, and other surface defects common to
improperly cured concrete.
• P
rovides improved resistance to chemicals, oil, grease, de-icing salts, and abrasion
during construction.
• Provides an attractive sheen that enhances the natural appearance of concrete.
• Easy 1-step curing and hardening application.
• Permits easy cleanup and housekeeping ... reduces floor maintenance costs.
• Minimizes excessive shrinkage, thermal cracking, dusting and defects.
• Can be employed as an anti-carbonation coating
• Will not contribute to surface crazing or surface ASR.
• Reduces alkalinity and efflorescence

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing (DO NOT DILUTE)
Stir thoroughly prior to use. Do not thin or dilute. Do not over agitate with compressed
air or recirculating pump. Application equipment must be clean and free of foreign
materials.
PLACEMENT
Apply Pentra-Sil (NL) HD+C immediately after all surface water has disappeared and
surface cannot be marred and after the cuts have been completed. Remove all dust and
dirt prior to applying the Pentra-Sil (NL)HD+C. Application of Pentra-Sil (NL) HD+C too
early or too late can affect the overall curing performance. Use low pressure spray, roller
or brush. Apply uniformly without puddles. Spray in a uniform coat pattern and try not
to overlap coats which can cause darkening. Recommend terminating at saw cuts
DO NOT OVER APPLY OR APPLY SECOND COATS
Apply the product at a rate of 400-600 sq.ft./gal. Use a low pressure sprayer to apply
a uniform layer on the surface. Do not puddle. Allow 1-2 days to completely dry
before traffic. The product will begin to dissipate after 1 week. After 28 days use
an autoscrubber, black pads, and water to remove any remaining cure material. If
additional shine is desired apply a coat of Pentra-Finish (Li) followed by Burnishing with
an 800-grit pad.
