Recommended uses:
Hard-Cem® is an innovative Integral Hardening Admixture (IHA) that gives designers a better option for achieving abrasion and erosion resistance in their floors and other structures. The technology of Hard-Cem employs a unique mineral-metal microstructure that makes concrete extremely durable and long lasting without the need to use more cement or apply surface treatments. Hard-Cem is added to the concrete during batching and becomes an integral part of the concrete’s cement paste. Hard-Cem fortifies the cement paste and overcomes its intrinsic weakness to physical wear, providing permanent protection against damage from abrasive and erosive forces.
