Permanent shine for polished concrete - permanently protected and sealed. Simply apply, no rinsing or scrubbing required, until the concrete is fully densified. Guaranteed durability, backed by 20 year performance warranty.
CERTI-SHINE CLEAR enhances the natural beauty of polished concrete and produces a wear-pattern free, shine retentive, decorative polished concrete floor. Certi-Shine Clear is a potassium silicate that rapidly penetrates without scrubbing and rinsing. Simply apply redistribute and re-apply until the concrete no longer absorbs and is fully densified. Once absorbed, Certi-Shine Clear reacts with the free lime and calcium hydroxide in concrete, producing a permanent chemical reaction that hardens, densifies and tightens the concrete surface. A fully densified polished concrete floor is the foundation for a stain-free floor. By adding both Certi-Shine Fixative and Certi-Shine Finish Coat Ultra, polished concrete will then resist motor oil, food acids and oils along with a variety of other typical hazards for polished concrete. All three Certi-Shine products, Certi-Shine Clear, Certi-Shine Fixative and Certi-Shine Finish Coat Ultra, must be used when installing a Certi-Shine Clear FSR or Certi-Shine MicroStain FSR floor.
Use Certi-Shine Clear HB when densifying and polishing soft or very porous concrete. This material is a high solids product that allows the pores to be plugged in one or two coats. After the Certi-Shine Clear HB has plugged up the concrete, apply the Certi-Shine Clear until the floor is fully densified to rejection.
Grind open the concrete and bring up to a scratch-free honed surface. Clean and allow to dry. When the concrete is clean, dry and water absorbent, the concrete is ready for Certi-Shine Clear to be applied.
Net Coverage Rate: 200-300 sq. ft./gallon. Apply in thin coats depending on the porosity of the concrete. The goal is to densify the concrete to rejection
