Question 1

What is Green Crete Technologies?

Accepted Answer

Green Crete Technologies is a U.S. concrete products company that develops and distributes the Encore product line — a nano-infused system of concrete treatments including sealers, densifiers, joint fillers, finishing aids, degreasers, and surface care products for commercial, industrial, and residential applications nationwide.

Question 2

What are Encore concrete products?

Accepted Answer

Encore is the proprietary nano-infused product line by Green Crete Technologies. Products include concrete densifiers, sealers, joint fillers, finishing aids, degreasers, and surface care treatments engineered for deeper penetration and longer-lasting performance than conventional alternatives.

Question 3

What is a concrete densifier and why do contractors use it?

Accepted Answer

A concrete densifier is a liquid treatment — typically lithium silicate or sodium silicate — that penetrates concrete and chemically reacts with calcium hydroxide to form additional CSH (calcium silicate hydrate). This permanently hardens the surface, reduces dusting, increases abrasion resistance, and improves light reflectivity. Contractors use densifiers on warehouse floors, retail floors, driveways, and any slab where surface hardness and durability matter. Encore Concrete Densifier uses a nano-infused formula for deeper penetration than standard densifiers.

Question 4

How does Encore Finishing Aid help concrete contractors?

Accepted Answer

Encore Finishing Aid is a water-based evaporation retarder applied to fresh concrete to slow surface moisture loss. It prevents plastic shrinkage cracks caused by rapid drying in hot, windy, or low-humidity conditions, extends the finishing window, and helps produce a tighter, smoother surface. It is used at less than 2 cents per square foot, making it one of the most cost-effective treatments in a contractor's toolkit.

Question 5

When should I use a concrete degreaser before sealing?

Accepted Answer

You should use a concrete degreaser any time oil, grease, fuel, or other hydrocarbon contaminants are present on the surface before applying a sealer or coating. Sealers cannot bond properly to contaminated concrete, leading to peeling and failure. Encore Heavy Duty Degreaser is an industrial-strength cleaner that removes oil and grease from concrete floors, driveways, garage floors, and warehouse slabs, leaving a clean surface ready for sealing or densifying.

Question 6

What causes concrete to dust and how do I fix it?

Accepted Answer

Concrete dusting is caused by a weak surface layer — often the result of excess water in the mix, rain damage during finishing, carbonation, or inadequate curing. The surface layer lacks the hardness needed to resist abrasion, so fine particles break off under foot or vehicle traffic. The most effective fix is applying a concrete densifier like Encore Concrete Densifier, which chemically hardens the surface layer and permanently eliminates dusting on existing slabs.

Question 7

Can Encore products be used on existing concrete or only new pours?

Accepted Answer

Encore products work on both new and existing concrete. Encore Concrete Densifier and Encore Heavy Duty Degreaser are specifically designed for use on existing slabs. Encore Finishing Aid is applied to fresh concrete during the finishing process. All products are available at greencretetech.com and ship anywhere in the U.S.

Question 8

What types of concrete projects are Encore products designed for?

Accepted Answer

Encore products are designed for commercial, industrial, and residential concrete applications including warehouse floors, retail floors, garage floors, driveways, foundations, decorative concrete, and exterior flatwork. Products are used by concrete contractors, general contractors, facility managers, and DIY owners across the United States.

Question 9

How do I apply Encore Concrete Densifier?

Accepted Answer

Apply Encore Concrete Densifier to clean, dry concrete using a pump sprayer, microfiber mop, or floor machine. Apply at a rate of 200–400 sq ft per gallon depending on porosity. Work the product into the surface with a floor machine or broom, keeping it wet for 15–30 minutes. Allow to dry and repeat if needed for very porous surfaces. Do not apply over sealers or coatings — densifier must contact bare concrete.

Question 10

Does Green Crete Technologies ship nationwide?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Green Crete Technologies ships Encore products anywhere in the United States. Orders can be placed directly at greencretetech.com. Bulk and distributor orders are also available — contact (317) 343-0024 for pricing.

Question 11

How is Encore Concrete Densifier different from other densifiers on the market?

Accepted Answer

Encore Concrete Densifier uses a nano-infused formula with smaller particle sizes than conventional lithium silicate densifiers. This allows deeper penetration into the concrete matrix, producing a harder, more durable surface layer. The nano-infused technology is developed and distributed exclusively by Green Crete Technologies under the Encore brand.

Question 12

Can I become a distributor for Encore products?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Green Crete Technologies actively recruits distributors and territory representatives, with focus on the Midwest and Southeast U.S. Distributors receive wholesale pricing, product training, and marketing support. Contact Green Crete Technologies at (317) 343-0024 or bgardner@greencretetech.com to discuss distributor opportunities.

Question 13

Are Encore concrete products safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Encore concrete products are water-based and formulated with contractor safety in mind. Standard PPE — gloves and eye protection — is recommended during application. Products should not be ingested or applied near water sources. Full safety data sheets (SDS) are available by contacting Green Crete Technologies at bgardner@greencretetech.com.

Question 14

What is the coverage rate for Encore products?

Accepted Answer

Coverage rates vary by product and surface porosity. Encore Concrete Densifier covers 200–400 sq ft per gallon. Encore Finishing Aid covers up to 2,000 sq ft per gallon at recommended dilution rates (less than 2 cents per sq ft). Encore Heavy Duty Degreaser coverage varies based on contamination level. Contact Green Crete Technologies for detailed application guides.

Question 15

Accepted Answer

You can reach Green Crete Technologies by phone at (317) 343-0024, by email at bgardner@greencretetech.com, or through the contact form at greencretetech.com/contact. Business hours are Monday–Friday, Eastern Time.
