Logistics facilities rely on their floors: Non-peeling concrete floor finish - Seal Hard

The floor is vital for logistics facilities that operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The concrete surface hardener "Seal Hard," which is free from peeling, continues to protect the floor!

Seal Hard is a penetrating concrete surface hardening material born in the USA, suitable for concrete floors in stores, factories, and logistics centers. Seal Hard is a penetrating surface hardener that does not create a film on the surface, unlike dust-proof paints or floor coatings, which means there is nothing to peel off, and long-lasting effects can be expected from a single application. Maintenance of floors finished with Seal Hard only requires regular scrubbing or mopping. There is no need for repainting, leading to significant cost savings. Since 1994, Seal Hard has been provided by authorized contractors in Japan, and we pride ourselves on being the number one in the country for penetrating surface hardening finishes. Seal Hard offers different specifications and grades based on customer requests through several application methods. 【Standard Specification】 Achieves high dust-proof and wear-resistant effects. 【Seal Hard W】 Achieves even stronger dust-proof and wear-resistant effects. 【Seal Hard Premium】 Achieves strength and gloss through polishing. 【Seal Hard FGS】 Achieves your desired gloss through a floor polishing system. 【FGS Perma Shine】 Achieves a shiny floor like marble through a floor polishing system.

[Official HP] Seal Hard - Penetrating Concrete Surface Hardener

basic information

Seal Hard is a colorless, 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, generating crystalline glass-like substances on the concrete surface. This chemical reaction is enhanced by the moisture replenishment effect from daily scrubbing, resulting in a dense, strong, and beautifully glossy floor. Even with the gloss, it does not become slippery. In Japan, many similar penetrating hardeners have been released by building material manufacturers and paint manufacturers. However, those sold as materials alone are often inexpensive but typically provided with applications that are "just paint" or "just sprinkle with a watering can," and the strengthening performance of the materials themselves is low. Therefore, in logistics facilities, "Seal Hard," which offers a superior total cost, has been supported for many years. Manufacturer: LATICRETE International, Inc. (Connecticut, USA) Ingredients: A water solution primarily composed of sodium silicate (colorless, transparent, odorless) Provided by: Responsible construction by LATICRETE certified contractors It is recommended to use "Aqua Pel Plus" in conjunction with floors that get wet. It is recommended to use "Petrotex" in conjunction with floors where oil spills occur.

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 aging, the floor was finished with a shiny gloss from the time of completion. Since completion, it has been resistant to dirt and forklift tire marks, receiving positive feedback.
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.

Model number	overview
Seal Hard Standard Specification	Dustproof ○ / Wear-resistant ○ / Low maintenance ○ / Gloss △ (depends on substrate condition) This is the original method most commonly adopted by our customers. The high crystallization performance of Seal Hard achieves excellent dustproof and wear-resistant effects. It creates a clean concrete floor that does not generate dust and minimizes wear from forklift traffic.
Seal Hard W	Dustproof ◎ / Wear-resistant ◎ / Low maintenance ○ / Gloss △ (depends on substrate condition) By applying the standard specification in two separate phases, we create a stronger wear resistance. Depending on the substrate condition, it may also achieve a higher gloss than the standard specification.
Seal Hard FGS	Dustproof ◎ / Wear-resistant ○ / Low maintenance ◎ / Gloss ○ (depends on substrate condition) Using diamond grinding with a polishing machine, we grind and polish the surface with fine irregularities, and further create a dense and smooth surface with Seal Hard application. The price and finish may vary depending on the substrate condition and the number of polishing processes. ※ FGS●: The ● indicates a number from 1 to 6 representing the number of polishing processes. ※ If gloss is required, it will be FGS4 or FGS5・FGS6.
Seal Hard Premium	Dustproof ◎ / Wear-resistant ◎ / Low maintenance ◎ / Gloss ◎ By incorporating polishing in the second application of Seal Hard W, we create a strong concrete floor with a glossy finish while retaining the texture of the concrete material. This finishing specification is widely adopted in museums, galleries, government buildings, and commercial facilities. Please ensure that the substrate concrete is always finished with a mechanical trowel.
FGS Perma Shine	Dustproof ◎ / Wear-resistant ◎ / Low maintenance ◎ / Gloss ◎◎ By repeating the grinding and polishing of the concrete surface with a polishing machine for more than 7 processes, we create a shiny concrete floor that resembles marble. Since the surface is ground down, aggregate patterns such as sand and stone will be exposed.
