Concrete Densifier NS: Nano Silica for stronger concrete floors
Do you have a concrete floor that feels soft, dusty or wears out quickly? A strong, even and dust-free floor requires the right treatment – and that’s where a concrete densifier comes into play. Concretedensifier NS Advanced Nano Silica from Betongimpregnering.se is designed to penetrate deep into concrete surfaces, react chemically with the cement matrix and create a much denser, more durable floor. By combining the densifier with a grinding and polishing system, you can achieve higher abrasion resistance, increased surface hardness and better shine. In this guide, we’ll go over what densifiers are, how nano-silicate works and how to get the most value from Concretedensifier NS.

🛒 View ProductConcrete densifiers are products that chemically treat the concrete surface to increase its density and durability. This type of treatment is often used in industrial environments and garages where the floor is exposed to heavy traffic and dust formation. By choosing the right densifier, you can extend the life of your floor and reduce the need for maintenance over time.
What is a concrete densifier?
A concrete densifier is a chemical activating agent that reacts with the cementitious matrix of the concrete. The result is a significantly denser surface with fewer pores, increasing abrasion resistance and reducing dust production. Concretedensifier NS Advanced Nano Silica acts as an ultimate consolidator, hardener and dust sealer that penetrates deep into the surface and progresses to a hard, durable finish when used in the right combination with grinding and polishing steps. This product is often used as a pre-treatment before surface treatment or coating, especially in garage and industrial floors where durability is crucial.
When choosing a densifier, it is important to consider the current condition of the floor, the load and the desired finish. The densifier is not a universal substitute for proper surface finishing or repairs; it enhances and extends the life of a concrete surface that already has the basics right. By combining densification with the right grinding and polishing routines, you will achieve maximum gloss, higher DOI readings and a longer life for your concrete floor surface.
How does nano-silica densification work?
Nano-silica acts as a very small-scale filler and activator that penetrates into the pores of the concrete. When it reacts with the cement matrix, new covalent bonds are created, making the surface extremely dense. The benefits include:
- Increased abrasion resistance and wear resistance
- Higher surface hardness and more even reflection of light (gloss)
- Tightness that reduces dust and dirt absorption
- Improved DOI reading for surface treatments
Using Concretedensifier NS together with a proper grinding and polishing system allows you to achieve even better results compared to densification alone. This combination drives a compact, smooth and durable surface that withstands heavy traffic and chemicals better over time.
It is common to use the densifier in several stages: first penetration and consolidation, then surface finishing with polishing and possibly sealing depending on the use of the floor. A well-executed process can lead to improved color neutrality, less dust and a longer lifespan for the entire floor system.
When is Concretedensifier NS the right choice?
If your floor is exposed to high traffic, dusty conditions or needs to improve wear resistance in connection with grinding and polishing work, Concretedensifier NS is a strong option. The product is particularly useful when you want to achieve higher abrasion resistance and better surface durability without having to replace the floor covering. Thanks to the advanced nano-silica technology, you get a deep penetrating protection that not only prevents dust but also provides a more durable surface against wear. Use in the right sequence together with grinding and polishing systems to maximize the result.
For best results, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions and perform a test on a small area before full application. With the right methodology, Concretedensifier NS can contribute to a significantly more durable floor with improved aesthetics and function.
Step-by-step: application and care
- Prepare the surface: remove dust, grease and loose particles. The surface should be dry and free from previous coatings.
- Apply the densifier evenly according to the product instructions. Allow to react and penetrate before proceeding.
- Perform sanding and polishing steps according to planned surface finish and gloss requirements. Use appropriate polishes to achieve desired appearance.
- Any dust binding: finish with dust binding treatment or protective layer as needed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a densifier and a surface treatment?
A densifier strengthens the internal structure of the concrete and reduces the pore volume, which increases wear resistance and reduces dust. Surface treatments provide additional protection and aesthetics to the surface. In combination, the result is often a longer lifespan and better appearance.
Do I always need densifier before polishing?
Not always, but in many cases, the densifier improves the durability of the floor and makes the polishing work more effective by providing a harder surface to work on.
How long does it take to dry/number of days before coating?
Drying and curing times vary depending on substrate, temperature and ventilation. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations in advance and test a small area before full application.
Can I use Concretedensifier NS in garage floors?
Yes. Garage floors exposed to vehicle loads and chemicals benefit greatly from the increased wear resistance and dust binding that the densifier provides.
Closing thoughts
