Low pH colloidal silica compositions for application to concrete
A composition for hardening concrete that has a pH of less than 10, and may have a pH of 8 or less. Thus, the hardening composition may be free of or substantially free of alkaline materials. The hardening composition is water-based and includes silica particles and stabilizer, which may be present on portions of the surfaces of the silica particles. The stabilizer may be aluminum-based (e.g., it may comprise alumina, etc.). In use, the hardening composition is applied to the surface of concrete, either alone, with curing compounds, or as part of a polishing process. Any residue that remains on the treated surface may simply be swept, blown, or sprayed away.
