Resisting Water and Filling the Voids

Green Umbrella® HydroShield™ is a concrete hardener and densifier. Reaching deep within the subsurface, HydroShield creates more than a conventional shell surface. The unique formulation is resistant to surface water and is breathable—resulting in a bond within the concrete that is stronger, denser, and less porous. A clear, odorless solution specially formulated to be a CrossOver™ densifier designed for application @EarlyAge™, @Profile&Polish™, or @MatureAge™. Unlike conventional hardeners, HydroShield is a S.O.L.O™ treatment that requires one application and no scrubbing or mopping. HydroShield produces a substrate that will stain less and wear longer, reducing maintenance frequency and extending the concrete’s lifecycle.

OUR MISSION

VERSATILE – SUSTAINABLE – ECONOMICAL

Green Umbrella’s architectural concrete floors provide a solid, durable surface with versatile surface design options, such as aggregate exposure and color. Our products offer a more sustainable option by eliminating off-gassing, providing highly reflective surfaces if desired, and giving the longest product lifecycle of conventional floors. Additional benefits include lowering lighting, heating, and cooling costs and reducing construction waste. Architectural concrete floors are also economical because they reduce construction downtime and have lower initial and maintenance costs.

Additional Features & Benefits for @EarlyAge™ Concrete

• Does not require calcium hydroxide reaction and may apply the same day as the pour
• No 7- to 28-day application restriction, meaning less downtime
• Not a desiccant and will not damage the surface

Additional Features & Benefits for Abrasively Polished Concrete

• Designed for wet profile, hone, and polish process
• No slab whitening
• Special formulation provides increased concrete colorant retention
• No concrete sweating after application, preventing long downtime for slab recovery
• Deeply subsurface and won’t cut off during profiling, honing, and polishing stages

Standards and Testing
