densifier
Makes things denser
A densifier is a substance that increases the density or compactness of a material.
In concrete work, densifiers are chemical solutions applied to harden and strengthen surfaces by filling pores: The contractor applied a lithium densifier to the warehouse floor.
In other industries, densifiers compact loose materials like wood pellets or soil for stability and durability.
