The Durable Protection of Concrete Floors

When it comes to long-term protection of concrete floors, durability, ease of application, and environmental safety are key. Tech-Dry’s research and development team—led by Dr Ren Kebao—has achieved a breakthrough using nanotechnology to create a high-performance impregnating concrete treatment that densifies the substrate while forming a water- and oil-repellent barrier.

Unlike traditional surface coatings such as epoxy or acrylic, which are prone to peeling, flaking, and abrasive wear, Tech-Dry’s lithium silicate densifiers penetrate deep into the concrete. This means the base concrete becomes the final surface—eliminating delamination and preserving the natural look while enhancing performance.

Why Specifiers Are Switching to Impregnating Treatments

For architects, builders, and facility managers, choosing the right concrete floor treatment has long been a challenge. Surface coatings may offer short-term protection, but they often degrade unevenly, require frequent reapplication, and pose environmental concerns due to solvent-based formulations.

Tech-Dry’s densifiers offer a smarter alternative. These treatments:

• Penetrate deeper than sodium or potassium silicates
• Reduce efflorescence and moisture-related staining
• Require only one coat for full effect
• Allow faster application and quicker return to service
• Produce no caustic wastewater—eliminating disposal issues

Performance Benefits That Last

Once applied, the densified concrete surface offers:

• Increased abrasion resistance and dust-proofing
• Enhanced slip resistance and safety
• Resistance to mould, water absorption, and food-based staining
• Non-toxic, non-flammable, low-odour formulation
• VOC compliance with no harmful vapours
• No yellowing, peeling, or discolouration over time

The final surface can be polished or burnished to achieve a smooth, glossy finish—ideal for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
