How to strengthen and dust-proof a concrete floor? What to choose - Teknoser Sodyum liquid silicate colorless hardener or Teknobond 300 low-viscosity epoxy primer?

Concrete floors that are dusty, crumbling, absorbing moisture and starting to collapse are one of the most common problems faced by owners of garages, warehouses, industrial plants, workshops and commercial establishments. Most often, the choice arises between two effective solutions, these are:

• Liquid silicate colorless hardener and deduster for concrete Teknoser Sodyum

• Low viscosity epoxy primer for concrete surfaces Teknobond 300

Both options are professional and versatile solutions, but are used for different tasks. Later in the article, we will consider both options and compare the materials with each other so that you can make an informed decision and decide on the right material for strengthening and dusting a concrete floor.  

Teknoser Sodium — liquid concrete hardener and deduster

Teknoser Sodium is a liquid silicate concrete hardener that:

• penetrates deeply into the pores of concrete
• strengthens the concrete surface
• dusts concrete floors
• reduces water absorption
• increases surface wear resistance

 How does Teknoser Sodium liquid concrete impregnation work?

Immediately after applying Teknoser Sodium impregnation , a chemical reaction begins with the concrete body. The crystals of the liquid hardener penetrate deep into the pores of the concrete, thereby compacting the structure of the concrete surface and “closing” the pores of the concrete from the inside.

When to choose Teknoser Sodium liquid colorless hardener

• If you need to strengthen and dedust concrete without applying a finish coat

• If you want to strengthen and protect the concrete floor in the garage, basement, warehouse, technical room

• When an old or weak cement screed has started to collapse

So, if you are looking for the simplest possible coating option to get matte concrete without dust, a stronger and more moisture-resistant concrete floor, without a film on the surface - choose Teknoser Sodium .

Teknobond 300 epoxy primer - strengthening and preparing concrete floors for coating

Teknobond 300 is a low viscosity epoxy primer that:

• penetrates deeply into concrete

• strengthens and dedusts the surface

• makes concrete waterproof

• significantly increases adhesion with epoxy and polyurethane coatings

• reduces concrete absorption and overconsumption of finishing coatings

Key difference:  Teknobond 300 is not just a concrete hardener and dust remover, but a professional base for finishing coatings.

When to choose Teknobond 300 epoxy primer

• Before painting a concrete industrial floor with epoxy paint

• When the surface needs to be prepared for polyurethane or bulk coating

• Maximum adhesion of concrete to the finish coat is required

• When it is important to reduce paint or self-leveling floor consumption

By reducing the absorption of the concrete surface after applying Teknobond 300 low-viscosity epoxy primer , the consumption of epoxy and polyurethane coatings is significantly reduced, and the paint applies evenly and densely. 

Teknobond 300 primer can also be used as a stand-alone coating if a hard, dust-free and waterproof surface is required.

Teknoser Sodium vs Teknobond 300 - a brief comparison

So, if you just need to dedust and strengthen concrete, choose Teknoser Sodium liquid impregnation .

But, if painting or industrial coating is planned, you need Teknobond 300 epoxy primer .

Both solutions are correct if you need to strengthen, dedust, and protect a concrete floor from water and moisture. The difference lies in further operation and tasks.
