KingHard S200®
Liquid surface hardener, dust proofer and curing aid for concrete surfaces.
Overview
KingHard S200 is a liquid surface hardener, dust proofer and curing aid designed for application to concrete, mortar, plaster, terrazzo, and other cementitious floors. KingHard S200 is based on water-based sodium silicate treatment which penetrates deep in the surface resulting in the densification of the concrete. KingHard S200 reacts chemically with the concrete to produce clear, dense, durable and abrasion-resistant surfaces. KingHard S200 penetrates the concrete surface neutralizing the alkalis and driving them to the surface to be washed away during application and stopping the efflorescence and lime or alkalis leach.
Applications
- KingHard S200 is recommended for new and old cementitious surfaces, such as concrete floors and granolithic paving. It should not be used to renovate concrete which is already disintegrating
- Typical applications include Factories
- Warehouses
- Garages
- Cold stores
- Food processing plants
- Industrial Plants
- Shopping Malls
- Parking lots and driveways
Advantages
- Densification of the concrete surface, as it penetrates deep and reacts to form crystals that fill the pores of the concrete
- Significantly improves the abrasion resistance and hardness of the concrete surface
- Contributes to the enhancement of the compressive strength of concrete at all ages
- Increases water retention, which aids in the curing process of concrete
- Provides a clear finish that does not affect the natural look of the original masonry or concrete surface
- for concrete surfaces

| UV resistance, 50 hr | No changes observed exposure Ensures proper bonding of subsequent coatings to the concrete surface since it eliminates surface concrete salts. Enhances the ease of cleaning and removing oils, greases and other surface contaminants. Controls hairline cracks in new concrete. Equipment can be cleaned with water only; thinners are not required. Compatible with most types of coatings since it is silicone free. Acts as a dust proofer, as it reacts with the salts in the concrete surfaces preventing the release of concrete dust through the pores on the surface. Nontoxic, noncombustible and nonflammable. Complies with LEED requirements for VOC. MAINTENANCE Scrub the floor on a regular basis. The abrasion polishes the floor and gives it a glossy sheen. The densification process will be accelerated if there is plenty of water and regular detergent scrubbing. To clean the floor, use a detergent with a pH of 8.5 –10.5 that is free of acids, sulfates, and hydroxides. The appearance of the surface will be dulled if you use an acidic cleanser or sweeping agents. Clean up spills as soon as possible. If left in touch with the floor, very concentrated acid can etch the surface. If coloured foods like mustard and grape juice aren't removed immediately, they can leave a stain. Keep a good oil emulsifier on hand to clean oil, grease, or fats. It is not necessary or suggested to wax or coat with other products.

Usage & Packaging
KingHard S200 is available in 25 litre jerrycan and 200 litre drums. Coverage may vary with the application method, surface conditions, and porosity. KingHard S200 is not a surface retarder. Do not apply during the final troweling operations as dis-colour
coverage is 4 - 7 m²/ litre per coat. Where two coats required to ensure maximum densification; the second should be applied after 2 - 3 hours of applying the coat.
life is 1 year when stored under cover, out of direct and protected from extremes of temperature. to comply with the recommended storage may result in premature deterioration of the or packaging
