What is a 4500?
The 4500 can also be used as a primer on poured concrete substrates before using a concrete sealer. In addition to making the concrete stronger, the 4500 acts as a bonding agent to increase the adhesion of the subsequent sealer.
What is Siloxa 8500?
The Siloxa-Tek 8500 is a water-based penetrating sealer that leaves a natural finish, meaning it will not change the look or appearance of the concrete.

What is concrete made of
At its most basic level, it is a composite material created from a mixture of aggregate (crushed stone and sand), Portland cement, and water. While many may think of concrete and cement as interchangeable terms, they are, in fact, different materials altogether - cement is merely one of the ingredients used to make concrete.
Can concrete be made stronger
Although concrete appears strong, every substrate is different based upon many factors including the water/cement ratio, the coarse/fine aggregate ratio, temperature and curing of concrete. The quality of concrete is judged largely on the strength of the concrete. Concrete’s compressive strength is measured in PSI -pounds per square inch.
What is a densifier
Concrete densifiers are products that help increase the density of concrete slabs. While the name is obvious, a densifier is substance applied to the surface of concrete in order to fill pores and increase surface density. They are chemical solutions designed to improve surface hardness and density.
How densifiers work
During hydration, approximately 20 percent of a concrete mixtures Portland cement is converted to lime, which has no structural value in concrete. However, concrete densifiers react with the lime to form calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) crystals, the same type of mineral compound that acts as the binder in concrete and imparts strength.
