Hardening Agents for Industrial Mortars
Pavicret Hardener: The Solution That Extends the Service Life of Your Industrial Floor
Pavicret hardeners are applied by sprinkling them onto fresh concrete and are incorporated monolithically during the screeding process. The result is an extremely dense, colored, and durable traffic surface that eliminates dust formation and withstands the most demanding traffic.
Key Benefits
- Maximum wear resistance: abrasion test ≤ A9 and compressive strength ≥ 50 MPa (C50).
- No joints or chips —since they are part of the slab, they prevent localized breakage and moisture penetration.
- Resistant to oils and greases thanks to their low porosity and the acrylic sealants applied afterward.
- Integrated color palette: gray, red, green, and special shades available upon request; no subsequent repainting required.
- Express application and installation of dusting and troweling on the same day as concrete placement.
| Product | Key Benefits | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| PaviCret Industrial Hydrated Coating Plus | 8–15 mm pumpable coating, corundum aggregate, colors: gray/green/red; maximum abrasion resistance. | High-traffic logistics facilities, hangars, loading docks, and open-air parking lots. |
| PaviCret Industrial Hydrated Coating | “Fresh-on-fresh” quartz-cement mortar; coverage 18–22 kg/m². | Supermarkets, distribution centers, general production floors. |
| PaviCret ACG Hardener | A silica-quartz-cement dusting that reinforces the top 3–4 mm without adding thickness. | Large interior slabs, garage ramps, and economical colored pavements. |

Hardening Agents and Additives for Industrial Flooring
| Add-on | Main Function | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| SellaCril TOP | Metacrylic lacquer with curing and gloss properties; quick-drying. | Initial sealing of the troweled layer. |
| PaviCril Plus PTR | UV-curable acrylic resin, satin finish, no strong odors. | Food storage facilities or sensitive indoor areas. |
| PaviSeal DF / Pro | Matte curing compounds that control evaporation. | Large, freshly poured concrete slabs. |
| Metacret | Water-repellent protective coating for outdoor areas and ramps. | Floors exposed to rain or fuel splashes. |
Advantages of Pavicret Hardener
- Maximum hardness with minimal thickness —they add just a few millimeters but match the strength of much thicker coatings.
- “Two-in-one” installation —they are installed and grouted during the concrete pour itself, without any additional production downtime.
- Low cost of ownership —moderate initial price and minimal maintenance requirements (re-sealing every 3–4 years).
- Wide range of colors without the need for repainting, ideal for marking logistics areas.
- No VOCs or strong odors —mineral-based products that are safe for food-contact areas once sealed.
Comparison with Other Surface Hardening Systems
| Criterion | Pavicret Hardener (dry-shake) | Lithium/sodium silicate (chemical densifier) | Thin epoxy paint (0.3 mm) | Self-leveling epoxy (2–3 mm) | Polyurethane-cement (4–6 mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abrasion | ≤ A9 (very low loss) | It reduces dust but does not add durable aggregate | Good at first; it wears out over time | Excellent, but the layer is thicker | Excellent even under thermal shocks |
| Chemical Resistance | Good after acrylic sealing | Limited to non-corrosive liquids | Very high resistance to oils and solvents | Very high | Very high (food industry) |
| Commissioning | 24 hours on foot; 3–4 days by handcart | 24–48 hours (without adding thickness) | 2–3 days | 3–5 days | 48–72 hours |
| Added thickness | 3–4 mm (sprinkle) | 0 mm (penetrates) | 0.3 mm | 2–3 mm | 4–6 mm |
| Installed Cost* | 20–35 €/m² (depending on color) | 8–22 €/m² | 15–30 €/m² (paint) – 60–90 €/m² (resin) | 45–90 €/m² | 70–100 €/m² |
