First cut with Densifier allows you to grind and densify floors at the same time, making wet concrete floor grinding, polishing and ride on power – trowel polishing jobs faster, easier and more efficient.

The use of Prosoco First Cut with Densifier (C2 Grind Aid with Densifier) eliminates the need to wait for floors to be cleaned and dry before you densifier and allows a wet grinding application to process up to 40% faster than previously possible.

All Preparation Equipment is your number 1 stop shop when it comes to concrete floor polishing, preparation and grinding equipment. Being Australia’s sole distributor of the Crete colors International (Prosoco / Consolideck) chemical brand we work closely with builders, contractors and architects to ensure the very best result on every concrete flooring project.

C2 Grind Aid (Consolideck® First Cut) with Densifier is a waterbased blend of surfactants and silicates applied to the concrete surface prior to and during wet grinding.

The formulation is specially designed to penetrate and react with concrete, leaving a harder and denser surface after grinding. By minimizing scratches, First Cut with Densifier reduces the amount of time spent with each metal and lower grit resin-bound diamond tooling, shortening the overall project timeline and extending the life of the diamonds.

Using a special blend of surfactants, First Cut with Densifier lifts concrete slurry solids away from the surface, suspends them and clears the path for the diamonds. This keeps the slurry solids from interfering with the ability of the diamonds to remove the concrete surface, increasing efficiency. First Cut with Densifier combines the technologies of surfactants and silicates to perform as both a grinding aid and concrete hardener.

Advantages of C2 Grind Aid with Densifier

• Minimizes scratches created during lower grit diamond tooling steps.
• Ideal for power trowel polishing.
• Penetrates and reacts quickly to harden the surface.
• Makes post-grinding clean up easier.
• Lifts and suspends slurry solids away from diamond tooling, allowing for faster bulk removal of concrete surface during grinding.
• Increases efficiency.
• Reduces labor and tooling costs.
• Extends the life of diamonds and shortens the project timeline.
• Works well on new or existing concrete.
• Treated surfaces are easier to maintain.
• VOC-compliant. Non-flammable. Non-toxic.

Limitations of C2 Grind Aid with Densifier

• For use with wet-grinding only.
• Do not allow concrete to dry during process.

All Preparation Equipment distributes concrete floor finishing and polishing chemicals across Australia to both contractors and builders who do these applications.

C2 Grind Aid (Cosolideck First Cut) with densifier, is a new product originally released through PROSOCO, and distributed through All Preparation Equipment has been designed with YOUR TIME in mind!

Creating a significant cut to time from the grinding and polishing process, C2 Grind Aid eliminates a single step by doing 2 processes in one in a wet grinding application.

The new product makes the grinding and polishing process more efficient by moving the slurry solids away from the diamond tooling, while also densifying the concrete. This allows contractors to grind and densify floors at the same time, eliminating the need to wait for a floor to be clean and dry before densifying. As a result, contractors can cut up to 40% of time out of the entire process.

• First Cut with Densifier can be used with traditional walk-behind grinders or power-trowel machines.
• Ready to use with no dilution needed, and works on new or existing concrete.
• Easy to apply with a low-pressure sprayer.
• VOC-compliant, non-flammable and non-toxic.
• Available in five-gallon containers.
• First Cut with Densifier, a new product from PROSOCO, cuts significant time out of the grinding and polishing process by combining two steps into one for wet-grind applications.
• The new product makes the grinding and polishing process more efficient by moving the slurry solids away from the diamond tooling, while also densifying the concrete.

• First Cut with Densifier can be used with traditional walk-behind grinders or power-trowel machines.
• This most recent addition to the Consolideck line of concrete flooring products is in response to the growing popularity of using power-trowels for grind-and-polish jobs over the last few years.
• “We’re constantly monitoring industry trends so we can develop products to help our customers stay as efficient and competitive as possible,” says Nick Savage, leader of PROSOCO’s Consolideck Concrete Flooring Group.
• “Power-trowels are designed for speed,” he says. “We have already heard from many contractors who are completing polishing jobs much faster due to the ability to densify while grinding, and not having to wait for the floor to be cleaned and dry.”
• Because First Cut with Densifier moves slurry solids generated from wet-grinding away from the machine, it allows the tooling to function more efficiently.
• “It’s making your diamonds more effective,” Savage says. “When you’re wet-grinding, you end up just spinning on top of slurry and the diamonds are never engaged with the slab. First Cut with Densifier moves the solids away from the tooling and also makes for easier disposal.”
• William Saunders, outside sales rep for Bledsoe Rentals, a distributor in the Kansas City area, said his customers appreciate the easier disposal and a more efficient process made possible by First Cut with Densifier.
• “It makes things easier to clean up when we’re wet-cutting because the slurry is not sticking to the slab,” he says. “The production rate with this product over just plain water will probably be anywhere from 20-25% more productive because the diamond is actually hitting the ground.”
• First Cut with Densifier is ready to use with no dilution needed, and works on new or existing concrete. Easy to apply with a low-pressure sprayer, it’s VOC-compliant, non-flammable and non-toxic. First Cut with Densifier is ready to order today in 5-gallon containers.
