HARD-CEM is engineered to provide concrete with superior hardness and improved durability for demanding construction projects. HARD-CEM is unique in its ability to enhance the integrity of air-entrained and non air-entrained concretes. HARD-CEM is a unique concrete hardener developed for ready-mix and pre-cast concrete application. Unlike surface applied hardeners which are labor intensive, problematic for quality control and unsuitable for air-entrained concrete, HARD-CEM is added to the concrete mix during the batching operation. HARD-CEM is the only hardener of its kind that can be utilized in air-entrained concretes.
Standard ASTM abrasion tests have shown HARD-CEM to reduce the mass loss associated with abrasion by up to 66% compared with nonhardened concrete control samples.
APPLICATIONS – HARD-CEM provides concrete advantages for industrial, transportation and water resources applications requiring enhanced hardness and durability including: paving, bridges, parkades, industrial floors, precast pipe, dams, spillways, stilling basins and erosion control structures.
Promoted for use in lieu of conventional surface hardeners such as minerals shakes.
