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.
EXPLORE GREEN UMBRELLA ARCHITECTURAL APPLICATIONS
Whether interior or exterior, vertical or horizontal, use Green Umbrella® products in:
• Demanding applications like warehouse and distribution centers, food service facilities, parking decks, garages, hospitals, and similar structures
• Decorative color applications like retail spaces and showrooms, restaurants, business offices, lobby areas, museums, municipalities, airports, hospitals, schools, fire stations, and most concrete surfaces
Deep SubSurface
WATER-RESISTANT DENSIFIER
Highly Abrasion Resistant
HydroShield’s Primary Feature: WATER RESISTANT
This unique formulation is resistant to surface moisture. It is breathable, insoluble, and fully reactive, resulting in a bond within the concrete that is stronger, denser, and less porous.
CUT YOUR LABOR
- No scrubbing or agitation is required during the application
- S.O.L.O.™ application and R.T.U.™ treatment
- Densifies and resists water in a single treatment
CUT YOUR DOWNTIME
- 30-minute dwell time and short dry time
- 3 hours to all traffic and abrasive profile
- No 28-day application restriction
- Alternative to off-gassing flooring
- Extends the lifecycle of concrete
- No VOCs
HydroShield gives a natural look to concrete
Natural Silica Formulation
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
• ASTM C779
• ASTM C1583
• ASTM 1308 with the Max Defense™ system
• USDA compliant
• FDA approved

• Non-sodium and won’t contribute to alkali-silica reaction
• No efflorescence and whitening common with conventional floor products
• No VOCs and environmentally responsible
• Non-resinous polymer formulation that prevents yellowing and tire marking
• 2-3x greater coverage rate of conventional floor products, cutting labor
*(Low viscosity high detergent and chlorinated oils require DryShield™ and the Max Defense™ system)
CUT YOUR DOWNTIME
Green Umbrella HydroShield
It may be applied on the day of the pour with no adverse effects.
Conventional Concrete Densifier
Wait 28 days after the pour for proper concrete reaction.
