To help maximize the durability of a design and have it remain sustainable, Hard-Cem provides construction professionals with an award-winning integral hardener.
Added to a concrete mix directly, this admixture uses proprietary technology to increase the hardness of the concrete paste and reduce fine and coarse aggregate exposure. That in turn increases the concrete’s ability to resist degradation and wear from erosion and abrasion, making it capable of lasting twice as long as regular concrete in harsh environments. It does all this without the need for time-consuming surface applications like liquid hardeners or health hazardous applications like dry shake hardeners.
It’s a hardener free of volatile organic compounds that can be applied to any type of concrete slab, whether it’s vertical, horizontal, or entirely unique. So design teams and builders can have the optimal durability and sustainability their project needs.
