Welcome to Hard & Shine Chemicals India's Best Precast Chemicals India's Best Construction Chemicals
Hard & Glossy™ is an advanced-grade fortified iron oxide pigment, formulated to meet the high standards of today’s precast concrete and paver block industry. Unlike ordinary pigments, Hard & Glossy does more than just color—it reinforces the top layer, delivers a natural glossy finish, and removes the need for additional chemicals like surface hardeners or even mould cleaning agents.
This premium pigment is fortified with strength-enhancing minerals and binding agents, giving your top layer not just vibrant color but also longer life, better finish, and less maintenance—a win for both aesthetics and durability.
Hard & Glossy bonds tightly with the cementitious matrix, creating a denser, more durable surface layer that resists abrasion, chipping, and weather wear.
The formula gives a natural shine to your product, reducing the need for polish, lacquer, or any surface gloss treatments. Your pavers come out of the mould looking premium and polished.
Unlike traditional pigments that leave behind heavy residues, Hard & Glossy ensures clean, neat demolding keeping your moulds reusable, clean, and low maintenance.
Forget about spraying extra chemicals after casting. The fortified properties are built into the pigment, reducing material costs and simplifying your production process.
Made from high-quality iron oxide particles, these pigments retain their color vibrancy even after years of sunlight exposure and foot traffic.
