    Default Sealing Concrete Floor in Spain

    I have just laid concrete floor and want to seal it to cut the dust.
    I may tile it later but at the moment want to leave it untiled but need a sealer that will be OK to lay tiles on later.
    As it is in a holiday home I will seal it when I come over but can't have any chemical smells so need a water based silicon type I can brush or roller on and leave a day to dry.
    Please help with a trade name available in Spain
    regards
    JTL

    If you are going to tile it in the not too distant future, why are you wanting to seal it temporarily if it is not a daft question?

    Water based silicone type sealant? Wouldn't use that, as it concievably could compromise adhesion later on. Check regular acryllic dispersion primers instead, the type you dilute with water. Can't you just use a tarp or something instead? Will the place be used while you're not there?

    There is a product that you might be able to use it harderns and seals concrete floors . you dilute with water you have to flood cover floor and leave for at least 24 hrs and make sure the floor doesnt dry. We use this product to seal newly laid terrazzo tiles and also be used on concrete "Lapidolith" at the moment i cant find the price ill look later but approx £60 for 25 ltrs you can purchase this at Conren ltd

    Most Acrylic primers are known as Fixatine in Spain and any good paint shop will stock it but dont know why you are bothering if you are going to tile it later.

    Tiling may not be done for a long time (years) and from experience with a garage floor in UK I dont want dust to tread around the house

    You could use an epoxy primer then I suppose.
