Floor Hardner
Redwop Chemicals offers high-quality Floor Hardner that enhances the durability and strength of concrete floors. Our non-metallic floor hardener is designed to resist wear and abrasion, providing a long-lasting finish. Perfect for industrial and commercial flooring, this non-metallic hardener is easy to apply and ensures superior surface protection.
Redwop Floor Hardener is a premium, dry-shake, cementitious hardening compound designed to create extremely durable and dust-free concrete surfaces. Formulated with high-wear aggregates, cement, and performance-enhancing additives, it forms a monolithic layer with the concrete slab—delivering enhanced abrasion resistance, surface toughness, and long-term longevity for industrial and commercial flooring.
Ideal Applications
Redwop Floor Hardener is tailored for heavy-duty environments such as warehouses, factories, loading bays, workshops, supermarkets, and airport hangars. Its robust abrasion resistance and low maintenance demand make it perfect for floors exposed to forklift traffic, trolleys, spills, and high footfall. It also supports use in commercial spaces like showrooms, public corridors, and food-processing zones, providing both functional durability and clean, attractive finishes.
Application Guide
Redwop Floor Hardener is applied using the dry-shake method directly onto freshly laid concrete. Begin by placing and leveling the concrete to the desired grade. While the surface is still plastic but firm enough to support foot traffic, broadcast the floor hardener uniformly at the recommended rate (typically 3–5 kg/m²). Allow the material to absorb moisture from the concrete for 10–15 minutes before floating. After the first troweling, a second broadcast may be applied for enhanced durability, followed by final finishing with a steel trowel or power trowel to achieve a smooth, dense surface. Once applied, cure the surface properly using wet curing methods or a curing compound to ensure optimal strength development. Avoid heavy traffic until the floor has cured for at least 7 days.
Key Features & Benefits
Redwop Floor Hardener offers outstanding surface durability by significantly enhancing the abrasion and impact resistance of concrete floors. It minimizes dust formation by sealing surface pores, resulting in a cleaner and more hygienic environment. The product is resistant to oil, grease, and mild chemicals, making it ideal for industrial and commercial spaces where floors are exposed to frequent traffic and spills. Its fast-setting properties allow for quicker commissioning of floors, and it is available in natural grey and optional pigmented shades, which improve both aesthetics and light reflectivity in workspaces. The easy dry-shake application also saves time and labor, making it a cost-effective flooring upgrade solution.
FAQ's
A floor hardener is a product used to strengthen and protect concrete floors from wear and tear. It enhances the surface's resistance to abrasions and stains.
Redwop Chemicals provides a high-quality, non-metallic floor hardener that delivers excellent durability, reduces dusting, and improves the overall performance of concrete floors.
Non-metallic hardeners like Redwop's are free from metal aggregates, offering a smoother finish and better resistance to chemicals, making them ideal for environments where metallic particles are not desirable.
Our non-metallic floor hardener is perfect for a variety of spaces including factories, warehouses, shopping malls, and industrial flooring, providing long-lasting protection against heavy traffic and machinery.
The floor hardener is typically applied to freshly poured concrete floors and spread evenly across the surface. It is then trowelled to ensure the product bonds with the concrete and provides a hard, durable surface.
A floor hardener is a dry-shake or liquid-applied material that improves the surface strength, durability, and abrasion resistance of concrete floors, making them more suitable for industrial and heavy-duty environments.
It is ideal for warehouses, factories, loading docks, car parks, commercial buildings, and industrial plants where floors are exposed to mechanical wear, traffic, or chemical spillage.
Yes, Redwop Floor Hardener can be used both indoors and outdoors. It performs well in covered environments and open areas exposed to moderate weather conditions.
The typical application rate is 3–5 kg per square meter, depending on the desired surface strength and exposure level.
It is applied via the dry-shake method on freshly poured concrete. After broadcasting, it is worked into the surface using a trowel or power float for optimal bonding.
Yes, it seals surface pores and reduces dusting by creating a denser surface, which is especially beneficial in warehouses and clean production areas.
Yes, Redwop offers both natural grey and colored variants to match aesthetic or safety marking requirements.
Curing time may vary, but the surface should be protected and properly cured for at least 7 days before allowing heavy traffic.
Yes, Redwop Floor Hardener provides resistance to light industrial chemicals, oils, and greases, making it a durable choice for production floors.
No, Redwop Floor Hardener is designed for use on freshly poured concrete. For existing floors, consider surface hardening sealers or epoxy-based solutions instead.
