CONCRETE’S MOST VERSATILE TREATMENT

Green Umbrella® ColorShield™ is an interior or exterior color densifier that creates a repairable color layer to seal interior open, profiled, or honed concrete surfaces with a medium to a high gloss finish. First, the formulation penetrates deep into the subsurface to densify the floor. Next, it fills the subsurface upward with a colorant. It finishes as a subtopical with an interlocked protective color-guard and wear-guard barrier that performs like a micro-finish sealer—uniquely formulated as a non-resinous polymer that is not prone to peeling. Combine with a choice of two Green Umbrella colorants, ColorBox™ pigment for exterior applications or an interior NanoDye™ for a deep, even color. ColorShield forms a breathable, dense, maintainable, protective layer. ColorShield enhances and protects exposed concrete surfaces with or without abrasive profiling or honing, extending lifecycle, promoting a clean appearance, providing color, repelling potential contaminants, and leaving the surface easy to clean, maintain, and repair.
