Start an inquiryA penetrating sealer that becomes part of the concrete.
Xile DPS is a water-based inorganic silicate sealer that reacts with concrete at depth, forming permanent calcium-silicate-hydrate bonds inside the capillary network. No film, no fade, no re-application cycle.
Plate 01 — Substrate 
What the chemistry does, measurably.
- 01
10–30 mm
Depth of penetration
Most surface coatings sit within the top 1 mm. Xile DPS works through the capillary network of the slab itself.
- 02
+ 20–30 %
Compressive-strength gain
Measured on treated substrates. The silicate reaction densifies the matrix from within.
- 03
800 °C
Thermal stability
Thermal stability of the cured silicate bond. The performance envelope organic and hydrophobic sealers cannot enter — foundries, steel processing, power generation, high-temperature industrial floors.
- 04
One coat
Single application
No primer, no topcoat, no recoat cycle. Water-based; compatible with standard low-pressure spray or roller equipment.
Polished commercial slab with exposed aggregate — the surface condition under which the four figures above were measured.
Xile DPS doesn’t sit on concrete.
It reacts with it.
Concrete is porous. Every slab contains an internal network of capillaries and free calcium hydroxide left over from the curing process — the same calcium hydroxide that conventional sealers sit on top of and eventually fail against.
Xile DPS is a low-viscosity solution of silicate chemistry in water. On contact with concrete, it penetrates the capillary network and reacts with free calcium hydroxide to produce calcium silicate hydrate — the same mineral phase that gives cured concrete its strength.
The reaction product is permanent, inorganic, and indistinguishable from the concrete matrix it forms within.

Specified where concrete has
to last longer than the warranty.
- 01
Bridge decks & transportation infrastructure
Protects reinforcing steel from chloride ingress driven by road salts and marine exposure.
- 02
Parking structures & elevated decks
Densifies the wearing surface and resists freeze-thaw cycling without trapping moisture below a film.
- 03
Water & wastewater facilities
Inorganic chemistry suitable for environments where organic sealers break down or leach.
- 04
Industrial slabs & warehouse floors
Increases abrasion resistance under forklift and pallet-jack traffic; remains stable at elevated operating temperatures.
- 05
Commercial & institutional slabs
Polished-concrete densification and long-cycle dust control in schools, hospitals, and public buildings.
- 06
Uncontested envelope
High-temperature operating environments
Foundries, steel processing, power generation — applications where organic and hydrophobic sealers degrade or burn off, and where Xile’s 800 °C thermal envelope matters.

Not every sealer fails.
The ones that do, fail the same way.
| Dimension | Film-forming acrylic, polyurethane | Hydrophobic silane, siloxane | Xile DPS inorganic silicate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Coats the surface | Repels water at the surface | Reacts within the capillary network |
| Service life | 2–3 yrs before re-application | 5–7 yrs before beading loss | Permanent once reacted |
| Traffic performance | Wears under abrasion; shows tire marks | Not load-bearing; cosmetic-only on floors | Densifies the substrate itself |
| Thermal envelope | Degrades at elevated temperatures | Limited above ~150 °C | Stable to 800 °C |
| Re-coat cycle | Required every 2–3 yrs | Required every 5–7 yrs | Single application |
| Substrate impact | Reduces vapor breathability | Neutral | Increases compressive strength +20–30 % |
Conventional sealers treat the surface. Xile DPS changes the slab.
Our position
We publish our penetration depth, our compressive-strength gain, our thermal envelope, our coverage rates, and the conditions under which Xile DPS is not the right specification.
Most of those numbers are widely claimed in this category. They are rarely published.
Durability in concrete is a materials-science question, not a marketing one. The answer shows up in numbers, or it doesn’t show up at all.
