The application of Duro-Nox - a reactive, silicate type, liquid floor hardener and sealer - is ideal for this usage. Duro-Nox chemically reacts with calcium hydroxide within concrete to form silicate gels on the surface which densify, harden and seal concrete to the depth of penetration.
Nox-Crete offers a 20-year performance warranty on eligible Duro-Nox applications.
Both products offer the same benefits of gloss and slip-resistance. However, Duro-Polish Plus also contains a halogenated silicon-containing additive that provides stain repellency from both inorganic and organic containing materials. In other words, Duro-Polish Plus provides stain repellency from common stain-causing agents such as soft drinks, coffee and tea, as well as oil and grease.
To achieve an immediate high-gloss finish to a silicate-treated concrete floor, apply Duro-Polish or Duro-Polish Plus. Floors recently treated with silicate type liquid hardener and dustproofers typically provide gloss readings in the range of 15 to 25 gloss units when tested with a Horiba IG-320 meter measured at a 60 degree angle. The same floors, after treating with Duro-Polish, typically exhibit gloss unit readings in the range of 35 to 50.
