An industrial concrete sealer has one job in a warehouse, plant or distribution center: keep an exposed slab hard, dust-free and in service under forklifts, pallet jacks and constant wheel traffic. Bone Dry Li 200 Logistics is a high-solids lithium and nano silica densifying solution made for exactly that environment. It penetrates deep into the concrete, reacts inside the pores and dries clear, so there is no brooming, flushing or residue removal after application. The result is a harder, denser wear surface with increased abrasion, water and stain resistance, protection against ASR and efflorescence, and a sheen that builds with traffic.

Industrial Concrete Sealer for Exposed, High-Traffic Floors
Why Industrial Floors Need a Densifier, Not a Coating
Industrial floors fail at the surface. Open pores in the top fraction of an inch hold dust and laitance, and every wheel pass grinds that paste away. The slab starts dusting, ruts form in traffic lanes, and housekeeping crews chase a problem that cleaning cannot fix. Film-forming coatings cover the surface but add a layer that scuffs, peels and eventually has to be stripped and reapplied. A densifier solves the problem where it starts. Li 200 Logistics is not a membrane-forming product. It is intended to densify exposed concrete, turning the wear zone itself into the protection.
How Li 200 Logistics Works Inside the Slab
Li 200 Logistics uses lithium silicate and nano silica that react with the free lime in concrete to form additional calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), the same binder that gives concrete its strength. That reaction fills surface pores and microcracks and becomes a permanent part of the slab, so the protection does not wear off or need a reapplication program. Because the chemistry is lithium based, it adds no sodium or potassium alkalis to the concrete, which is why it protects against ASR and efflorescence rather than contributing to them. The product is water based, low VOC, breathable and UV stable, and it is suitable for interior and exterior exposed concrete.
Stop Dusting, Abrasion and Efflorescence
Treated slabs show increased hardness, abrasion resistance, water and stain resistance, and increased sheen. Dusting is eliminated, which means cleaner inventory, cleaner air and better traction. Slip resistance stays high: the TDS reports a static coefficient of friction (ASTM C 1028) of 1.06 dry and 0.76 wet, well above the 0.60 SCOF threshold. Li 200 Logistics is compatible with reactive and resin bond breakers, so it fits tilt-up and precast schedules without changing the rest of the specification. See the Li 200 Logistics specifications for the full attribute list.
Spray and Leave: Back Under Traffic in 2 to 3 Hours
Conventional sodium and potassium silicate densifiers make the crew keep the slab wet, scrub, flush, squeegee and haul away residue, or live with whitening. Li 200 Logistics is a one-pass product. Apply with a pump or battery-powered sprayer using a cone or wide fan tip, fully wet the slab without puddling, and keep it wet for 10 to 15 minutes. It dries clear with nothing to remove, and the floor can take traffic again once it is dry to the touch, typically 2 to 3 hours. If dust appears from heavy puddling, broom-sweep it off once dry. Spread rates are 400 to 800 square feet per gallon on hard-troweled surfaces and 200 to 400 on broom-finished concrete. Apply when ambient and surface temperatures are between 35 °F and 95 °F (2 °C and 35 °C). The installation sheet has the step-by-step procedure.
Industrial Concrete Sealer for New and Existing Concrete
On a new pour, apply Li 200 Logistics as soon as the concrete is hard enough for foot traffic. It increases compressive strength and assists in evenly curing the slab, achieving results in the same way as a curing compound, so a separate curing compound is not necessary. If the specification requires one, apply it after Li 200. When curing or insulating blankets are used, place them after the sealer is dry to the touch; if time constraints require placing them while the sealer is still wet, that is acceptable and will not adversely affect performance. On existing floors, the substrate must be clean and porous, and any existing coating must be mechanically removed before application. Either way, Li 200 Logistics is sized to your square footage, finish and traffic profile. Bone Dry can supply product only or quote application anywhere in the United States.
Tested Performance and a 25-Year Product Warranty
Li 200 Logistics carries a 25-year product limited warranty: the treated surface will remain water-resistant, dustproof, hardened and abrasion resistant for 25 years from the application date. The performance behind that warranty is documented on the TDS:
| Test | Result |
|---|---|
| ASTM C 39 compressive strength | +12% at 7 days, +16% at 14 days, +30% at 28 days vs. control |
| ASTM D 4060 Taber abrasion resistance | 29% increase |
| ASTM C 1028 static coefficient of friction | 1.06 dry / 0.76 wet |
| ASTM C 1583 pull-off strength (7 days) | 533 psi |
| Alberta B388 waterproofing performance | 70% increase |
| Alberta B388 water loss during curing | 79% reduction |
| ASTM C 666 freeze/thaw durability | 48% improvement |
| ASTM C 157 drying shrinkage | 40% reduction |
| ASTM C 672 deicer scaling (visual rating, lower is better) | 1 vs. 3 at 25 cycles; 2 vs. 5 at 50 cycles |
Li 200 Logistics is water based and low VOC, and a CDPH VOC emission test certificate is posted on the product page alongside the SDS, specifications and installation sheet. Store the product above freezing and below 90 °F; shelf life is 2 years.

Need Moisture Mitigation Under Flooring?
Li 200 Logistics is for exposed concrete that stays exposed. If your industrial floor will be covered with resinous coatings, tile, vinyl or other flooring, the slab needs moisture vapor control rather than a densifier. Bone Dry Pro is our penetrating moisture mitigation sealer for those projects, backed by a 25-year flooring replacement warranty that includes labor and material to replace the finished flooring system, adhesives and prep material. Not sure which one your project needs? See Which Bone Dry Product Do I Need?
