Consolideck® ColorHard

ColorHard is a premeasured color concentrate specially formulated to mix with Consolideck® LS® to produce a ready-to-use color hardener that colors, hardens and densifies horizontal concrete in one easy step. Add 4-oz of Consolideck® ColorHard to one gallon of LS® to create a high-performance color hardener. When combined with Consolideck® LS®, ColorHard decorates, dustproofs and improves the abrasion resistance of concrete floors and exterior pavements.
