However you’re involved in concrete construction, you know that concrete durability (or more specifically its abrasion resistance) is critical to a structure’s success. Without it, your project team may end up creating a structure that doesn’t last the way it should. And you may even have lower property values, lost productivity, and higher maintenance costs to worry about. All of which means building owners will need to use up even more resources for maintenance and repairs.

It’s a costly issue, but it is avoidable. And that’s why you focus first on a solution that can enhance your concrete’s resistance to abrasive forces.

Luckily, there are many choices out on the market today that advertise themselves as capable of providing you with exactly that. Some of which include the popular liquid hardeners and our very own award-winning Hard-Cem.

Both of these particular choices have been on the market for years. And many industry professionals feel they’ve gotten their desired value out of either product or a combination of the two.

They might have even caught your attention.

Still, do you really need both products? Could you just use one product instead of two? And if so, which is better for concrete durability?

Some Might Say Liquid Hardeners

If you get a solution that’s inexpensive and still does the exact work you want, you’re likely going to choose it. It’s this mindset that makes liquid hardeners seem so appealing. After all, these products are advertised as a way for you to make the surface of your concrete harder. And combined with their history of common use and minimal impact on a budget, it might seem like they’re a highly effective solution.

However, Their History Suggests Otherwise

Based on their originally marketed purpose, liquid hardeners weren’t meant to harden concrete at all. And their history of testing hasn’t been completely satisfactory. All of which puts into question just how effective they really are.
