Description
Logistics floors take the hardest life in construction — forklifts, pallet jacks, rack loads, and thousands of wheel passes a day. Li 200 Logistics is a high-solids lithium and nano silica densifier that turns the wear surface of exposed concrete into a harder, denser, dustproof cap. Spray it, leave it, and it dries clear — no brooming, no flushing, no residue removal.
Same traffic, different floor. Li 200 Logistics hardens the wear zone and builds sheen instead of dust. · Tap to enlarge
Untreated vs. treated: what the diagram shows
On untreated concrete, wheel traffic abrades the surface paste, causing dusting, rutting, and micro-cracks — the slab dusts, wears, and stains. A floor treated with Li 200 Logistics develops a densified wear zone of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) at the surface: the sheen builds with traffic instead of wearing away, and the densifier dries clear with nothing to remove.
Spray and leave
Conventional sodium and potassium silicate densifiers make you work for it: keep the slab wet, scrub, flush, squeegee, and haul away the residue — or live with whitening. Li 200 Logistics is a one-pass product. Fully wet the slab, let it dwell 10–15 minutes, and walk away. It penetrates deep, dries clear with nothing to remove, and the floor is back under traffic in 2–3 hours.

Application timeline: Li 200 vs. typical sodium/potassium densifiers
A typical sodium or potassium silicate densifier requires five stages: apply, keep wet and scrub, flush and squeegee, remove residue, then reopen — extra labor and residue disposal. Li 200 Logistics is spray-and-leave: spray to fully wet for 10–15 minutes, it dries clear with no removal, and the floor takes traffic again in 2–3 hours. No brooming, no flushing, no residue. The high-solids lithium + nano silica formula dries clear at 400–800 sq ft per gallon on hard-troweled surfaces (200–400 on broom-finished concrete) — one pass, one crew, done.
What it does for the slab
| Function | What it means on the floor |
|---|---|
| DENSIFIES | Reacts with free lime to fill surface pores with C-S-H and increase compressive strength |
| HARDENS | Abrasion resistance built for forklift and heavy wheel traffic — less wear over time |
| DUSTPROOFS | Eliminates dusting — cleaner inventory, cleaner air, better traction |
| RESISTS | Improved water and stain resistance on the wear surface |
| PROTECTS | ASR / efflorescence protection — lithium chemistry adds no sodium or potassium alkalis |
| SHINES | Dries clear; sheen builds naturally with traffic and burnishing |
How it works

How it works: C-S-H fills the pores
At the wear surface, untreated concrete has open pores holding dust and laitance, and wheels grind the paste away. Li 200’s lithium silicate and nano silica react with free lime in the concrete to form calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), filling the pores and building a hard, dense wear cap that is permanently part of the slab — a chemical reaction, not a coating.
The top fraction of an inch is where a floor lives or dies. Li 200 Logistics penetrates that wear zone and reacts with free lime to grow calcium silicate hydrate — the same binder that gives concrete its strength — directly inside the surface pores. The high-solids lithium and nano silica blend delivers more reactive silica per gallon, and because it becomes part of the slab, the protection doesn’t wear off, peel, or need reapplication programs.
Versus typical sodium/potassium densifiers
| Li 200 Logistics | Typical Na/K densifier | |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry | High-solids lithium + nano silica | Sodium or potassium silicate |
| Application | Spray and leave — one pass | Keep wet, scrub, flush, squeegee |
| Residue | None — dries clear | Whitening risk; mechanical removal |
| Coverage | 400–800 sq ft/gal hard-troweled; 200–400 broom-finished | ~200 sq ft/gal typical |
| Alkali load (ASR) | Protects against ASR / efflorescence | Adds sodium/potassium alkalis |
| Fresh concrete | Best applied to fresh pours — aids even cure | Typically applied after cure |
| Warranty | 25-year product limited warranty (water-resistant, dustproof, hardened, abrasion resistant) | Often conditional on branded maintenance products |

Application

Application steps
- Prep — clean, porous concrete; existing coatings mechanically removed; fresh pours hard enough for foot traffic.
- Spray — fully wet the slab, no puddles.
- Leave — keep wet 10–15 minutes; dries clear.
- Traffic — floor back in service in 2–3 hours.
Good to know: apply by fully wetting the slab and avoid puddling; if dust appears on the surface from heavy puddling, broom-sweep it off once dry. Shield adjacent finished surfaces from overspray, which may discolor them. Li 200 Logistics is compatible with reactive and resin bond breakers. On fresh pours it aids even curing and a separate curing compound isn’t necessary — but if your spec requires one, apply it after Li 200.

FAQ
What is Bone Dry Li 200 Logistics?
A high-solids lithium and nano-silica densifier for exposed concrete floors in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and retail. It reacts with free lime in the wear surface to form additional C-S-H, hardening and dustproofing the floor while it dries clear.
How much does Li 200 cover?
400 to 800 square feet per gallon on hard-troweled surfaces; 200 to 400 on broom-finished concrete. Send us the square footage and traffic profile and we will size the order.
How is Li 200 applied?
Spray to fully wet the slab and avoid puddling. Keep it wet for 10 to 15 minutes. It dries clear with no brooming or removal required; if dust appears where it puddled heavily, broom-sweep it off once dry. Allow the slab to be dry to the touch (typically 2 to 3 hours) before resuming traffic.
How soon can forklift traffic return?
In 2 to 3 hours.
Should Li 200 go on a new pour or after the slab cures?
It is best applied to fresh pours, where it aids even curing and a separate curing compound is not necessary. If your specification requires a curing compound, apply it after Li 200. Existing floors take it too; the substrate must be clean and porous, with any existing coatings mechanically removed first.
Does it change how the floor looks?
No. Li 200 dries clear and leaves the concrete with its natural matte look; there is no film to wear through in traffic lanes.
How is Li 200 different from sodium or potassium silicate densifiers?
Sodium and potassium silicate densifiers leave a residue that has to be scrubbed and flushed off the floor. Li 200 leaves nothing to remove: spray, let it soak, and it dries clear.
What warranty comes with Li 200?
A 25-year product limited warranty stating that the treated surface will remain water-resistant, dustproof, hardened, and abrasion resistant for 25 years from the application date.
