Hard-Cem®: The Concrete Solution for Abrasion Resistance and Sustainability

The pressure to build infrastructure that is both durable and environmentally responsible is growing fast—especially in high-demand sectors like manufacturing, transportation, and water management. Traditional solutions often fall short in harsh conditions where abrasion and erosion can quickly compromise concrete performance. That’s where Hard-Cem® comes in. This integral hardening admixture from Kryton is added at the batch plant and doubles concrete’s resistance to wear—extending the life of floors, spillways, tunnels, and other high-traffic structures without the need for dry shake or coatings. Backed by Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) data and used in over 80 million ft² of concrete globally, Hard-Cem is helping project teams lower emissions and maintenance costs at the same time.
