Seal Hard: Penetrating Concrete Surface Hardener (Non-Shedding Floor Finish)
"Seal Hard," a penetrating concrete hardener that makes floors shine brightly with just a wash.
Seal Hard is a penetrating concrete surface enhancement material born in the USA that provides a hard and crystal-like floor surface on concrete floors in stores, factories, and logistics centers. Unlike dust-proof paints, Seal Hard does not peel off and can provide a semi-permanent effect with just one application, leading to significant cost savings along with ease of maintenance. Maintenance of floors finished with Seal Hard only requires regular washing with water, and no waxing is necessary at all. Seal Hard is applied using methods tailored to the condition of the concrete at each site, depending on the surface condition of the concrete. Therefore, it is offered as a responsible installation by our company, which has received certification for installation techniques from the American company L&M. Seal Hard is available in different specifications and grades through several application methods. - [Standard Specification] Achieves a high level of dust-proofing and wear resistance. - [Seal Hard W] Achieves stronger dust-proofing and wear resistance. - [Seal Hard Premium] Achieves strength and gloss through polishing. - [Seal Hard FGS] Achieves the desired gloss through a floor polishing system. - [FGS Perma Shine] Achieves a marble-like finish through a floor polishing system.
basic information
Seal Hard is a colorless, odorless, and environmentally friendly concrete surface hardener that is non-polluting. It is a colorless and transparent liquid primarily composed of sodium silicate. After application, it penetrates the surface of the concrete and undergoes a chemical reaction with the concrete components, producing a glass-like substance on the surface. This chemical reaction continues over time with moisture replenishment through regular washing with water. Concrete strengthened by Seal Hard becomes more beautiful and glossy with use and regular washing, without becoming slippery even when glossy. Since Seal Hard penetrates rather than being applied like paint, it does not peel off, and a single application can provide a semi-permanent effect. This, along with ease of maintenance, leads to significant cost savings. Developed by L&M in the United States and currently marketed by LATICRETE, Seal Hard has over 40 years of proven performance in the U.S., where many factories, stores, and logistics centers that have been treated still maintain their beautiful condition. It may be referred to by various names such as concrete hardener, concrete strengthening agent, or penetrating concrete surface hardener.

Detailed information
-
Seal Hard W The building manager conducts regular scrub cleaning once a week on the floor treated with Seal Hard W. After two years, the chemical reaction progressed, resulting in a shiny, glossy floor.
-
Seal Hard Premium From the time of completion, a glossy finish was desired, and it was constructed using Seal Hard Premium with polishing for shine. Without waiting for natural wear over time, the floor was finished with a shiny gloss from the moment of completion. Since completion, it has been resistant to dirt and forklift tire marks, receiving positive feedback.
-
Seal Hard G Although there were trowel marks left from the concrete finishing, the construction was done using the Seal Hard G specification, which includes substrate polishing, resulting in a smooth and sleek concrete surface. Through weekly scrubbing, the floor has developed a shiny, glossy appearance.
-
Seal Hard - Standard Specifications This is a project where Seal Hard was used for dust-proof and wear-resistant applications on a floor finished with black colorcrete during plastering.
-
Seal Hard - Standard Specification This is a property where the Seal Hard standard specification was applied to a warehouse floor pressed with a mechanical trowel. Three months have passed since the application, and a gradual glossiness is starting to appear.
-
Seal Hard Premium This is the floor of a warehouse constructed with Seal Hard Premium specifications (C-21 specifications). It has become a wonderful concrete floor with a shiny gloss that reflects the lighting.
-
Seal Hard - Standard Specification This is a case where it was adopted for the mortar floor of a boutique in a tenant building. Since the substrate is mortar and cleaning is done with mops and brooms rather than scrubber washing, it has not achieved a glossy finish. However, due to its dust-proof and abrasion-resistant properties, the clean and textured mortar floor maintains a matte atmosphere even after one year since opening.
-
Seal Hard - Standard Specification This is the floor of the materials section in a home center. Although it is a standard specification and lacks gloss due to being in the completion stage, it offers sufficient dust-proofing and wear resistance, and it does not suffer from daily operations.
-
Sealhard Premium A museum created by an architect who has won international architectural awards. The texture of the concrete is beautiful and enhances the artwork.

I have officially joined the Japan Skateboard Association (AJSA)!
We have officially joined the Japan Skateboarding Association (AJSA) as a supporting member! We have fully utilized our concrete floor finishing technologies, "Seal Hard" and "Aqua Pearl Plus," to develop a park-suitable pavement specification, "Seal Hard Skate Park Specification." We transformed floors that were "rough, deteriorated from rainwater erosion, difficult to skate on, and prone to injuries from falls" into "floors with a comfortable sliding feel, shine, and gloss," creating concrete floors that skaters rave about. ● Achievements Osaka City: Tiger Lux Skateboard Park Nagai Ishikawa Prefecture: Higashi Kanazawa Sports Plaza Skate Park Toyama Prefecture: Daimon Skate Park NIX Street Sports Park (under construction, scheduled to open soon) Without a doubt, skateboarding is experiencing a "change" and "tailwind" from "play" to "sport"! Our goal is to "connect designers and skaters." Our company has both "contractors" and "skaters." We also possess knowledge of concrete flooring. I believe there is no other company in Japan that has this combination besides Willbee. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us. We are confident we can be of assistance.
