Yeah, there's only one silicate product down here which is highly promoted in general flooring, I believe it came from the US. It's certainly being pushed as a cure-all for moisture problems. Most adhesive/mitigation manufacturers are highly dismissive of it. That said, there are some concrete coatings producers who warranty over it. Good luck to them.

Of course the adhesive/mitigation manufacturers are highly dismissive of it. It is a competitive product to the standard mitigation systems. When QUALITY products of this nature are PROPERLY used, there is no need for the several dollar a square foot mitigation systems. Do you really think the mitigation manufacturers are going to sing the praises of such a product?
