Bomanite Colour Hardener is a dry-shake material for colouring and hardening concrete flatwork, and is specially formulated for use in the installation of Bomanite and Bomacron cast-in-place coloured, textured and imprinted concrete paving and flooring.

Bomanite Colour Hardener may also be utilised within the Bomanite Custom Polishing System specifically in reference to Belcoloure By Bomanite (See Bomanite Custom Polishing Guideline Specifications).

Bomanite Colour Hardener is a blend of three principal ingredients: mineral oxide pigments, cement and graded silica aggregates. Special conditioning admixtures are also included to improve workability.

Bomanite Colour Hardener is used in residential, commercial and municipal applications. Two grades of Colour Hardener are available:

Regular Grade: This grade is recommended for all applications except areas subject to exceptionally heavy pedestrian traffic or heavy road traffic in freeze areas. Appropriate areas include residential driveways, patios, pool decks, entryways, walkways, showroom floors, lobbies and medians.

Heavy Duty Grade: This grade includes specially graded Emery (aluminum oxide) to increase wear resistance. It is normally recommended for installations that are expected to receive exceptionally heavy wear, including vehicular entrances, theme parks, plazas, crosswalks, street sections and high-traffic sidewalks.
