- Basic Use
Color Hardeners are ideal for driveways, patios, entryways, sidewalks, swimming pool decks, cart paths, steps, curbs, hardscape and any type of stamped, textured, stenciled or decorative concrete for high-end, as well as value-added construction projects. The consistent, streak free, UV resistant colors are formulated and manufactured to produce vibrant colors, and when used in combination with Antique Release Powder and textured, may produce vivid, well defined, durable patterns. It can also be used in a paste form to be applied in vertical applications such as stair risers and hardscape.
- Installation
Color Hardener is broadcast or spread onto freshly placed concrete. The concrete is then floated and finished. In some applications, color-hardened concrete is textured with stamping mats in combination with Antique Release Powder.
- Limitations
Color Hardeners can only be applied to freshly-placed concrete before the concrete hardens. Surface appearance may vary depending on coverage rate, application technique, finishing method, weather conditions, curing and sealing method and the preparation and composition of the concrete mix materials.
