I talked to technical support at BASF about hardening my concrete after it poured. They recommended that I apply:

And then:

http://www.master-builders-solution...masterprotect/1863?Product=MasterProtectH1001

Has anybody used this process?

Some of their products use to be know as kure-n-seal. I've looked at a lot of threads on this topic. My shop will not have a lot of traffic, but will be used for car/tractor etc. maintenance. I expect fuels, hydraulic fluid etc. and dust. I care more about functionality than looks. I think this looks like a good way to go, any experience or comments on these products or any others will be appreciated.

BASF makes lots of great products. Or at least they make them better �� (please tell me someone else remembers those commercials). I would use a good lithium densifier followed by a stain blocker with silane. I'm sure they can help. We can too, as can legacy and others.

I was thinking I might get feedback on the specific products I listed. I've been looking around for a long time and I'm getting ready to make a purchase.

Does anybody have any experience with the products I've listed above?

Thank you.

Never heard of them.
But I am not in that business.
(maybe a densifier?)
Just curious, if you can't find any info, why not use a vendor/product here that you can get all of the info you want?
Pretty sure Justin @Garageflooring would have a similiar product.

I'm convinced from my research these are good products. First hand experience would be great in helping me make a decision.

Ok, I'm not getting much on MasterKure. What about the other guys on here. I'm buidling a 40x60 shop that I want to treat the floor. The way it looks is not as important as function.

I will be working cars and tractors in the shop. Some of it will be wood shop. Hydraulic fluid, brake fluid, etc. along with some welding splatter will come in contact with the floor. The wood shop will be dusty.

Ideas? I'm ready to purchase.

I would use TL37 densifer followed by TL40 conditioner and stain guard. That is simply going to protect and harden the concrete with no aesthetic value at all -- which is what I assume you want based on prior posts.

We have the full product data sheet on our site. http://www.garageflooringllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/TL37.pdf

TL37 is a lithium based densifier. You definitely want to go that route. TL40 is a conditioner and stain guard with Silane.

Sounds great, do people add color with this type of treatment? Why or why not?

No. This is not a 'finish' it is a densifier and a conditioner that's. It to say that people don't use it as part of a grind and polish over stain... Just saying it does not directly take a colorant.

I've read how to apply. Are there any experiences that are not in the directions that will be helpful?

I might have the opportunity to apply products before any of the structure is started. Are there any problems applying in the open air? Would it be better to apply in the evening to slow the product from drying?

Assuming you are not doing grind and polish simply use a garden sprayer and apply TL37. Wait for it to try then apply TL40

Is grind and polish something done on a new pour? Any benefits to grind and polish on a new floor?

Thanks for the quick responses. You're really helping me here.

It is basically a system where densified concrete is ground with finer and finer grit and polished / waxed. A lot of people love it, but I personally cant see where it would be cost effective on a DIY basis unless you had easy access to all the equipment.

Here is a 7 minute video on it

MeNeed:
If you are referring to the big box stores and how they make the new floors appear to be polished. They , generally, are not polished. It is a finishing process backed up with densification and burnishing. They also touch the floors up with Diamabrush polymer tools or have a team come in and burnish from time to time.

The legend is they don't have to do anything to the floor. The legend would be wrong. They do maintain them as needed.
