SS Harden X

Lithium Hardener/Sealer/Densifier
EQ Credit 4: low-emitting VOC-compliant materials

PRODUCT DATA SHEET

SealSource International, LLC manufactures this premiere hardener/sealer/densifier with the most
cuttingedge technology in the industry. The lithium silicate formulation of SS Harden X creates
greater density by reacting with the calcium hydroxide in the concrete to form stable, insoluble tri
calcium silica structures. This superior densification process ensures maximum resistance to dusting,
abrasion,bacteria,andchemicalattack.
SS Harden X is sprayed evenly over the area to be treatedthere is no need to flush the surface or
removeanddisposeofanyexcessmaterialafterinstallation.Treatedsurfacesnotonlymaintaintheir

INTERPRETATION
SS Harden X products do not significantly alter the friction qualities of the surface they are
applied to. All standard methods for accident prevention must be used in situations where
tractionisofconcern.
