Consolid S is a blend of silicates in water solution with low viscosity and therefore high penetration properties. It can penetrate to a depth of several centimetres and when dried, it improves the cohesion of cementitious surfaces. Consolid S is ready-to-use and need not be diluted.
Product Description
Field of Application
· Deep consolidation of cementitious substrates with an unstable surface or with poor mechanical characteristics;
· Consolidation of cementitious screeds which tend to have a crumbly surface due to hydration defects or a lack of binders;
· Impregnation and anti-dust primer on cementitious surfaces.

COVERAGE / CONSUMPTION
The consumption of CONSOLID S depends on the porosity and absorption of the surface. Typical consumption is between 400 and 600 gr/m².
Application Procedure
Preparation of substrate
The substrate must be dry, clean, free of oils, varnish, leveling compounds and other materials which might prevent from penetration.
Preparing the product
Ready to be used.
Applying the product
Pour the Consolid S on the surface with a sprinkler or pump and distribute it evenly with a broom, brush, or roller until it is completely absorbed. Very friable or porous substrates may need more than one coat, in which case wait until the previous coat is dry. Do not allow pools of excess Consolid S to accumulate because they form a shiny anti-adhesive film. To prevent the film from forming, sprinkle sand over the last coat of Consolid S and remove the excess sand when dry. Proceed with levelling or installation of flooring after making sure the surface is dry. Drying time varies with the amount of product used, and ambient temperature and humidity. The recommended application temperature is from +5°C to +35°C.
