THE ORIGINAL
CRMX ™ CONCRETE
CHEMICALS
3-Step Concrete Polishing System
THE ORIGINAL CRMX™
SURFACE REFINING AGENT
The Original CRMX™ Surface Refining Agent™ is a chemical-based refining agent that is
applied to concrete surfaces to aid in rapidly removing scratches and achieving high levels
of clarity. The Original CRMX™ Surface Refining Agent was developed as a replacement
product to polishing powders that do not react with high levels of calcium and free lime.
Advanced technology has made possible this unique blend of nano-synthetic abrasives
and nano-molecular chemistry to form together in a harmonious blend for refinement
processes involving concrete polishing, stone slab polishing, marble polishing and
cement-based terrazzo polishing.
The Original CRMX™ Surface Refining Agent contains an encapsulator that separates the water from the by-product
that is produced during the refinement process, so all waste material can be classified as solid waste. It not only
removes scratches easily but also uses the paste to fill in bug holes and micro cracks at the surface that typically
impede good gloss readings due to a high amount of irregularities that are normally left in the surface with typical
polishing procedures. Using The Original CRMX™ Surface Refining Agent will eliminate the need for lengthy grinding
steps. A typical project using the The Original CRMX™ Surface Refining Agent will only require 3 tooling steps after
coatings have been removed, no matter if PCD’s or 6 Grit metal bonds have created a heavy or deep scratch profile.
By using The Original CRMX™ Surface Refining Agent, two variable components are completely removed from the
polishing process.
THE ORIGINAL CRMX™
DENSIFIER
The Original CRMX™ Densifier is a concrete densifier and chemical hardener in a
ready-to-use formula. It is a colorless liquid which hardens and dustproofs concrete with
nano-sized particles. The reacted surface creates an environment that does not welcome
moisture or topical water spills. Treated surfaces will keep common spills and other moisture
suspended on the surface of the concrete substantially longer than untreated surfaces.
Once properly applied, the finished surface provides substantial improvement in abrasion
resistance and will significantly improve the durability of the surface when compared to untreated concrete. Once The
Original CRMX™ Densifier is applied, a chemical reaction takes place producing a by-product that fills in the pores of
the concrete, one molecule at a time. The Original CRMX™ Densifier solidifies the concrete, eliminating dusting, pitting
and excessive wear.

THE ORIGINAL CRMX™
ACID BLOCKER
The Original CRMX™ Acid Blocker is a micro-film forming, chemical cross-link hybrid, inorganic/organic
surface treatment that hardens and seals concrete floors and delays etching concrete surfaces due to
spills that contain highly acidic properties. It produces a high performance ultra-hard watertight and dustrepellant surface that is chemically resistant. The Original CRMX™ Acid Blocker is the supreme coating
system for harsh and high abuse commercial and industrial floors when an extra layer of protection is
required to significantly reduce surface etching. It is the optimal choice if floors are exposed to high
consumer traffic, large equipment, chemicals, or abrasion.
This low VOC treatment (less than 50 gram per liter) is an industrial grade that is easy to apply, cures
rapidly, and provides a beautiful clear glossy finish. It is ideal for facilities that require maximum protection and little or no downtime.
The Original CRMX™ Acid Blocker is environmentally friendly and has a very low polymer/ammonia odor. The Original CRMX™ Acid
Blocker will leave concrete significantly harder, stain resistant, easy to maintain, and provide a 60% increase in light reflectivity than
untreated concrete surfaces. The Original CRMX™ Acid Blocker does not decrease the coefficient of friction on surfaces.
THE ORIGINAL CRMX™
POLISHED CONCRETE
FLOOR CLEANER
The Original CRMX™ Polished Concrete Floor Cleaner is a PH neutral cleaner including quaternary ammonium
disinfectant that delivers a continous dispersion of silica that hardens and densifies concrete surfaces at each
cleaning. The Original CRMX™ Polished Concrete Floor Cleaner is uniquely refined and highly reactive. It
will reduce porosity on any concrete surface with every application thus making the floor naturally more stain
and abrasion resistant giving the concrete a more reflective finish. Each and every facility will change its traffic
pattern over time and begin to show cosmetic wear in high exposure areas. In higher traffic areas, main walkways could develop micro
abrasion giving it a duller appearance than areas not as heavily traveled. This is a very common condition that does not represent a defective
or failing product. If your floor has been polished with The Original CRMX™ 3-Step Concrete Polishing System, simply cleaning with The
Original CRMX™ Polished Concrete Floor Cleaner will restore the shine. Areas of extreme traffic, or that have suffered from a lack of daily
maintenance, can often be brought back to the original gloss in this manner. In most severe cases where restoration is required, contact GMI
Engineered Products and technical services will provide facility management with the proper restoration process and procedure.

T METER
The T Meter is designed to measure precisely
The T Meter measures Concrete Surface Profiles (CSP) 1 –
6 electronically and is the only device that can be used for
measuring the Ra and the nine Surface Texture Grades specified
in the ST-115. No more comparing rubber molds on a key ring
with the CSP that you’ve ground, just measure it exactly.
Parameters include Surface Texture Grade (STG), Roughness
Average (Ra), Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) and are displayed
in units of measurement. The measurements can be displayed
in micro inches and micro metrics. Once the measurement
is displayed, the units (micro inches or micro metrics) can
be interchanged without repeated readings. There is no
requirement for setting up or programming, the device is ready
to use out of the box. Operator training is not required, but
training can be provided.
How It Works
A diamond stylus is drawn across the concrete
surface. The motorized traverse mechanism is
cam driven to ensure that the correct horizontal
distance is traveled.
Vertical movement of the stylus as it travels
across peaks and valleys is detected by a
piezoelectric pick up which converts mechanical
movement into an electrical signal. The electrical
signal is digitized and sent to a microprocessor
where the parameters are instantly calculated
using standardized algorithms.
The T Meter is aconfigured using the most
common industry measuring parameters:
STG (Surface Texture Grade) parameter found in
CSDA ST115
Ra (Roughness Average) exact numerical data, texture of surface
CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) reads a range of CSP 1-6 defined by ICRI chip sets

WE COVER
THE MATRIX
The definition of polished concrete is the
process in which a high degree of refinement
removes the necessary amount of surface
damage and inclusions until it can only produce
a smooth/highly refined, reflective surface,
produced by mechanical means of abrasion.
At GMI Engineered Products we offer a
complete solution from Densifying, Refining,
Colorants, Polishing, Sealing and Cleaning
products. We are setting the standard in the
concrete industry.
