DRY SHAKE COLOUR HARDENERS

Creative Impressions Dry Shake Concrete Colour Hardeners are factory blended materials containing a cementitious binder, aggregates, admixtures and other additives.

They may incorporate inorganic pigments or be naturally colored. The ability of a dry shake concrete colour hardener to provide a hard, abrasion-resistant wearing surface depends on the presence of enough free water at the fresh concrete surface to enable the finish to be fully wetted and worked monolithically into the base concrete. The hydration process of the cementitious material into dry shake colour hardener consumes free water from concrete mix.

Creative Impressions Dry shake concrete colour hardeners are divided into three basic groups according to the type of aggregate that they contain:

Natural quartz aggregate
Synthetic (non-metallic) mineral aggregates
Metallic and metallic alloy aggregates

The aggregate component of a dry shake mix can range from 100% of one of these groups to a blend of some or all of them. Blending flexibility provides options with respect to performance properties, and colour.

The wide range of available materials can create some confusion when selecting the appropriate Creative Impressions dry shake colour hardener. The type of aggregate has an important influence on final floor appearance and performance properties, but there are no definitive international standards that specify the aggregate type or content.

The decision to specify a type of dry shake colour hardener will depend on several factors, including service condition, durability, aesthetic and cost. For industrial applications, the best guide for specifiers is to compare abrasion resistance properties of the products

All commercial, manufacturing, and warehouse floors require a high quality work surface providing long-term durability, high abrasion resistance, dustproofing, low permeability and safety.

In most industrial applications Creative Impressions dry shake colour hardened floors have the best price/performance ratio when compared with alternative concrete treatments or finishes.

The main characteristics and benefits provided by dry shake colour hardeners include: installation time saving, enhanced durability, improved traction safety, aesthetic options, and overall economy.
