Armadillo D (Dustproof)

ARMADILLO D is a proprietary blend of silica (Si) polymers that penetrate concrete surfaces to provide increased abrasion resistance and will eliminate dusting caused by brittle or damaged concrete. The Silicate compounds present in ARMADILLO D each play a unique role in densifying concrete. The silicates in ARMADILLO D chemically react with calcium hydroxide (also known as portlandite) in the surface to produce calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) – the primary strength-providing portion of concrete paste. Portlandite is a soft, porous mineral that is subject to carbonation and chemical attack, so replacing it with the much stronger CSH is a major benefit of ARMADILLO D.  The ultimate result is a concrete floor that is harder and exceptionally dense which equals long-lasting protection and durability. ARMADILLO D is water based. It generally dries tack free in 2 to 4 hours.
