It penetrates into the concrete and reacts with the substrate while allowing the treated surface to remain breathable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill KorTek 917 change the appearance of my concrete?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNormally, KorTek 917 does not significantly change the overall appearance of the substrate. After drying, the treatment is usually not readily visible, except the concrete has been fortified and strengthened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much coverage will I get?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage depends on the absorptivity of the substrate. Typical coverage is 100 to 400 square feet per gallon when the surface is fully saturated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes KorTek 917 require a primer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. KorTek 917 does not require a primer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes KorTek 917 require a topcoat?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A topcoat is not required. Multiple coats of KorTek 917 are compatible, although one coat is normally sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long should KorTek 917 dry?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the treated surface to dry for 24 hours to obtain maximum benefit. Keep the floor dry and restrict traffic during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan KorTek 917 be used outside?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. KorTek 917 is suitable for exterior concrete such as sidewalks and driveways, and it helps improve resistance to weathering and freeze-thaw effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan KorTek 917 be applied to damp concrete?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe substrate can be damp, but there should be no standing water or puddles. Best results are usually achieved on a dry substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dymond Coatings","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon (Pour Lid)","offer_id":43608077402202,"sku":null,"price":134.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Gallon Drum","offer_id":43608077434970,"sku":null,"price":960.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"275 Gallon Tote","offer_id":43608077467738,"sku":null,"price":4017.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/5982\/3450\/files\/dymond-coatings-kortek-917-lithium-concrete-densifier.webp?v=1783372472","url":"https:\/\/dymondcoatings.com\/products\/kortek-917-lithium-silicate-concrete-densifier","provider":"Dymond Coatings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
