CERA COAT is a specially engineered premium liquid admixture developed for iron oxide blended concrete used in pavers, blocks, tiles, kerbstones, and other precast concrete products.
It enhances color intensity, surface gloss, density, and strength, while improving durability and finish consistency. CERA COAT helps manufacturers achieve sharp edges, smooth surfaces, and uniform appearance across every batch.
CERA COAT ensures excellent dispersion of iron oxide pigments, resulting in brighter, richer, and uniform colors. It eliminates shade variations and patchy appearance in colored concrete products.
Creates a smooth, dense, and glossy surface, giving pavers and precast products a premium aesthetic appeal without additional surface treatments.
Refines the concrete microstructure, improving compressive strength and overall density, leading to harder and more durable products.
Significantly reduces surface porosity and water absorption, enhancing resistance to moisture ingress, stains, and efflorescence.
Improves lubrication within the mix, ensuring easy demoulding, sharp edges, and minimal breakage, reducing rejection rates.
Delivers repeatable results in every batch, improving yield, reducing rework, and increasing production efficiency in precast plants.
* Add sand & stone chips into themixer.
* Add required quantity of water & mix properly.
* Add cement and iron oxide pigment; mix thoroughly.
* Mix CERA COAT with water separately and add to the mixer.
* Continue mixing until a homogeneous mix is achieved.
* Pour into moulds and vibrate well.
Prepare concrete mix as per standard practice.
Add recommended dosage of CERA COAT.
Mix thoroughly and proceed with casting.
Dosage:
As recommended by the Hard & Shine technical team based on mix design and application.
Hard & Shine SCC Admixture is a high-performance superplasticizer formulated to produce Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with exceptional flowability, stability, and strength.
It enables concrete to flow under its own weight, completely filling formwork and densely reinforced sections without mechanical vibration, resulting in dense, durable, and high-quality concrete.
Allows concrete to flow and compact on its own, ensuring complete filling of formwork and reinforcement without vibration.
Creates a compact microstructure with low permeability, enhancing durability and long-term performance.
Eliminates honeycombing, voids, and segregation, delivering smooth, defect-free surfaces, ideal for exposed and architectural concrete.
Enables rapid early strength gain while improving long-term compressive strength, ideal for precast and prestressed concrete.
Removes the need for vibration, reducing placement time, labor requirements, and construction noise.
Supports early demoulding and early transfer of prestress, increasing plant productivity and faster production cycles.
Maintains flowability for extended periods, ensuring easy placement even in complex pours.
* Add aggregates and cement into the mixer.
* Add water as per mix design (low water-cement ratio recommended).
* Add Hard & Shine SCC Admixture into the mixing water or directly into the mixer.
* Mix thoroughly until required flowability is achieved.
Dosage:
As per mix design and performance requirement.
Trial mix is recommended for optimum results.
Hard & Shine Chemicals introduces SetnShine® Winter Set, a dualcomponent winter-grade admixture system specially engineered to ensure fast setting, early strength gain, and smooth surface finish during cold and low-temperature conditions.
Designed for manufacturers who face slow setting, delayed demoulding, and productivity loss in winter, SetnShine® Winter Set delivers reliable and consistent performance even in harsh winter climates.
Product Overview
SetnShine® Winter Set is a two-in-one admixture system consisting of:
* High-performance powder admixture
* 2 litres of liquid accelerator (supplied inside the same powder bag)
Both components must be used together to activate the winteraccelerating mechanism. This unique formulation accelerates cement hydration, allowing concrete to set faster and gain early strength even at low ambient temperatures.
It is ideal for precast concrete, paver blocks, and cement-based products manufactured during winter or in cold regions.
Specially formulated to overcome cold-weather challenges such as slow hydration and delayed setting.
Delivers consistent performance even in low temperatures between 5°C to 0°C, ensuring reliable setting and strength gain.
Accelerates cement hydration for quicker demoulding and faster production cycles.
Improves both initial handling strength and long-term durability of concrete products.
Produces dense, sharp-edged, premium-finish paver blocks and
precast elements.
Minimizes waiting time during cold mornings and nights, increasing daily output.
Reduces cement sticking and residue buildup, resulting in longer mould life and easier maintenance.
* Specially engineered winter-grade formulation
* Dual-component system for superior cold-weather performance
* Reliable demoulding even in 5–10°C temperatures
* Faster production without compromising quality
* Proven results in precast and paver block manufacturing
Standard Dosage
Use 600 ml to 1000 ml of the prepared liquid
admixture per 50 kg bag of cement
Important Note:
Always use the powder admixture and the 2-litre liquid accelerator together as a single system.
Do not use powder or liquid separately.
