GDP Flooring Solutions CEO Gary Campbell
is a leading pioneer in the New Zealand decorative concrete
industry. What Gary doesn’t know about grinding concrete
after 14 years in the field is not worth knowing. Gary has
experienced many types of concrete densifiers and polishing
products throughout his career, but none that meet up to the
C²’s quality concrete flooring range. GDP Flooring
Solutions sales representative Paul Dwight has many years
experience in the floor covering industry and is very excited
by what C² has to offer. “Why would you cover concrete
at great expense, when you can enhance the concrete with many
C² systems, to create a floor with less maintenance,
more strength that looks great”, he says.
Is your concrete floor or floor coatings
suffering from cracking, spalling, peeling, delaminating or
just general deterioration?
Do you have a new concrete floor that you
want dust proof, hardened, stain resistant and/or highly polished?
GDP Flooring Solutions will come to the
rescue by specifying a C² system that will economically
restore and enhance the integrity and appearance of your floor.
C² densifying and sealing systems combined
with GDP Flooring Solutions and associated contracting company
Concretex have the ability to coarse grind which enables the
removal of old deteriorating surfaces, exposing new concrete
before polishing to the desired finish. Using leading edge,
high performance grinding equipment and superior diamond technology,
GDP Flooring Solutions has the ability to handle large projects
efficiently and economically.
GDP Flooring Solutions can offer a variety

C² Tint™
C2 Tint™ is designed to penetrate deep into the pores of horizontal
concrete to provide a beautiful translucent coloured surface. C2 Tint™ is the second part of
a three step process that transforms dull looking surfaces into a colourful, decorative, polished
concrete. After treating the concrete with C2 Super Hard™ , the premium lithium hardener and
densifier, C2 Tint™ is applied to the surface of a concrete floor and is fast drying.
This product has excellent application qualities for both new and existing concrete. C2 Tint™
is a non-flammable water based formulation that penetrates and colours concrete surfaces
without the risk of etching the surface or corroding metals. C2 Tint™ can be used as a single
coat or in layers over grey, integrally coloured, acid stained or colour hardened concrete to
produce an unlimited range of colour tones.
The C2 Tint™ system is a three component combination that includes C2 Super Hard™ , C2
Tint™ and C2 Seal™ . In addition, C2 Tint™ is environmentally friendly and is easy to clean and
maintain.
- Colour. C2 Tint™ is available in thirteen standard colours that can be intermixed to achieve
an even broader colour range. C2 Tint™ is made up of tiny molecules that penetrate
deeper into the concrete than conventional colour pigments or acid stains.
- Permanent impregnated colour will not flake or peel off. Multiple coats of C2 Seal™ will
increase the colour intensity and controlled drying allowing colour to be added and blended
without the risk of streaking.
- Compatible with all C2 lithium hardeners, densifiers, sealers and cleaners.
- Easy to use with application by brush, spray or spread with a microfiber pad.
- Versatile. Suitable for use on new and existing concrete, regardless of age. C2 Tint™ does
not reduce slip resistance and can be applied to any horizontal concrete surface.

need to neutralise this product and clean up after application is easy with soap and water.
C² Stain Safe™
C2 Stain Safe™ is an outstanding water and oil repellent that prevents
surface staining on most substrates without trapping moisture. The modified saline system
provides invisible protection and low surface instability, without film or gloss. C2 Stain Safe™
forms a resilient chloride barrier that reduces surface erosion and corrosion in reinforced
concrete caused by water and water carried salts.
The molecular structure of C2 Stain Safe™ allows for maximum penetration with coverage
rates higher than that of conventional salines. Depth of penetration is controlled by the
application rate. C2 Stain Safe™ is ideal for long lasting protection, without colour change
of concrete, polished concrete, granite and other dense colour sensitive surfaces.
C2 Stain Safe™ complies with all known USA national and state AIM VOC regulations but is not
recommended for asphalt or non-masonry materials, below grade applications or use under
hydrostatic pressure. Always test before using this product on limestone and marble.
C² Stain Clean™
C2 Stain Clean™ is a highly effective poultice cleaner for removing
even old deeply embedded oil and grease stains from concrete, pavers, stone and other
porous surfaces, without discolouration or leaving a residue. C2 Stain Clean™ works by forming
a poultice, once applied, there is no mixing, scrubbing, trowelling or plastic covering
required. Once C2 Stain Clean™ penetrates the surface it forms a continuous solution. As it
dries, C2Stain Clean™ absorbs the stain out of the substrate and captures it in a highly
absorbent blend of thick surfactant, solvents and powers. After five to eight hours the dry
poultice is able to be swept up and disposed of. C2 Stain Clean™ is ideal for use on concrete,
blocks, pavers, bricks and tiles. It is also safe to use on granite, marble, travertine and limestone.
However C2 Stain Clean™ is not recommended for use on asphalt surfaces.
What Is ASR?
C² lithium hardeners will prevent or
reduce Alkali Silica Reactivity (ASR). Silica in the aggregate
reacts with alkalis in hydrated cement to form a gel that
expands when water is introduced. This reaction produces huge
pressures that cause cracks to develop in concrete –
cracks that lead to accelerated deterioration of the surface
protective layer. These cracks and micro-cracks allow water
to penetrate into the substrate, causing corrosion of reinforcing
steel, freeze thaw damage, and other problems. C² lithium
hardeners will help keep moisture out of the substrate and
prevent occurrence of a chemical reaction between alkalis,
silica and moisture. ASR reactions will not occur without
water.
