Consolideck Concrete Hardener/Densifiers Achieve NSF Registration

NSF International, a public health and safety certification company, recently registered PROSOCO's lithium-silicate hardener/densifiers as being approved for use in food-handling and processing areas.

NSF International has registered Consolideck LS (lithium-silicate) and Consolideck LS/CS hardener/densifiers for finished concrete flooring in its Nonfood Compounds Registration Program.

NSF Nonfood Compounds Registration assures inspection officials and end users that formulation and labels meet appropriate food safety regulations.

The registration means that NSF International has reviewed the hardener/densifiers' formulas and found that when used as directed, they meet standards for health and safety - for both applicators and those who will be living and working on LS and LS/CS hardened/densified concrete floors. These products underwent a formulation review and label review to verify that they can be used in and around food establishments.

The formal registration will help when health-issue questions come up about the use of LS and LS/CS on floors in kitchens, grocery stores, cafeterias, food-processing areas, and other places where people are concerned about the indoor environment, according to Dwayne Fuhlhage, PROSOCO's regulatory affairs director.

Health department inspectors look for and recognize NSF Registered products when inspecting these facilities.
