HARD-CEM®

Hard-Cem® is an Integral Hardening Admixture used to increase Abrasion and Erosion resistance of concrete. Hard-Cem® is added to the concrete at the time of batching to increase the hardness of the concrete and expand concrete wear life up to 600%.

Hard-Cem® is an Integral Hardening Admixture used to increase Abrasion and Erosion resistance of concrete. Hard-Cem® is added to the concrete at the time of batching to increase the hardness of the concrete and expand concrete wear life up to 600%.

Hard-Cem® outperforms and overcomes deficiencies of labor-intensive surface applied hardeners, and can be used to enhance durability of both air-entrained and non-air-entrained concrete. Since it is integral, Hard-Cem® can be used to harden horizontal, vertical or inclined concrete and shotcrete surfaces.

Over 60 million square feet of Hard-Cem® concrete has been installed worldwide.

Advantages

  • Extends concrete wear life 2X to 6X in harsh conditions
  • Cost & time savings by eliminating surface hardeners
  • Full depth concrete hardening
  • Only hardener that can be used with air-entrained concrete
  • No exposure to harmful silica dust
  • Improved quality control
  • Can be used in horizontal, vertical, or inclined concrete
  • No side effects on concrete water demand, workability, set time, strength development or shrinkage
  • Chemically Inert – Easily added to existing concrete mixes

Applications

Hard-Cem® can be used in any Ready Mix, Shotcrete or Precast concrete to improve abrasion and erosion resistance and extend the wear life of the concrete. It is typically used in:

  • Manufacturing and Distribution Warehouse Floors
  • Runways, Highway Pavements, Intersections
  • Parking Structures, Ramps, Aprons
  • Skateboard Parks
  • Process, Utility and Maintenance Buildings
  • Storage Sheds and Tractor Garages
  • Dams, Sluiceways, Spillways, Drainage Conduits
  • Culverts, Tunnels, Precast Pipes
  • Bridge Decks
  • Livestock Housing
