Why are Convergent’s products lithium-based?

Benefits of Lithium in Concrete Treatments:

• Lithium’s smaller molecule size allows deeper, more even penetration and reaction, resulting in consistently better protection from staining, scratching or wear issues
• Lithium silicate creates an insoluble bond in concrete that is more durable and abrasion resistant than the soluble bond created from other silicate technologies
• It forms a protective surface layer that is breathable, scratch, and abrasion resistant
• Lower pH creates a calmer, more complete reaction in the surface, increasing performance
• This element does not contribute to ASR or sweating slab syndrome, and it helps mitigate efflorescence
