Industrial flooring
Industrial D80 dry-shake hardener powder is applied dry to fresh concrete surfaces. It enhances the surface’s resistance to abrasion and dust formation. By improving abrasion resistance and reducing surface permeability, this product mitigates the negative characteristics of standard concrete, such as dust generation and liquid absorption.
Industrial D80 dry-shake hardener is applied in a dry form directly to the surface of fresh concrete. This treatment enhances the surface’s resistance to abrasion and dust generation. By improving abrasion resistance and reducing surface permeability, it mitigates the negative attributes of ordinary concrete such as dust production and liquid absorption.
Industrial D80 dry-shake hardener is a ready-to-use, pre-packaged product consisting of cement and additives designed to enhance its performance.
To achieve a hard-wearing surface that is resistant to scratches and to obtain the best quality finish with a dry-shake hardener, sufficient water must be present on the fresh concrete surface. This allows the hardener to be fully moistened, become pasty, and spread evenly over the fresh concrete surface.
The hydration process of the cement in the dry-shake hardener is facilitated by the water present on the fresh concrete surface. This clearly demonstrates the importance of the concrete surface and the quality of the concrete itself.
All floors in factories, warehouses, and commercial environments require a durable, high-quality surface that can meet customer needs in terms of long-term durability, abrasion resistance, waterproofing, impermeability, and safety. Hardening powder offers the best price and performance compared to alternative methods.
The advantages of dry-applied concrete hardening powder include time savings, long-term durability, high abrasion resistance, visual appeal, cost-effectiveness, dust reduction, and impermeability.
When industrial dry-shake hardener is applied to fresh concrete, the concreting process is completed in a single stage, finishing within 8 to 12 hours after the concrete placement and surface finishing. The surface is suitable for light traffic after 24 hours and heavy traffic after 3 weeks.
These powders offer a highly efficient and economical solution for flooring applications. They provide excellent value for money, considering their performance and cost.
Durability is a fundamental requirement for high-quality industrial flooring. The quality of a dry-shake industrial hardener is determined by its abrasion resistance and adhesion to concrete. A surface treated with dry-shake hardener provides a tough and durable coating for concrete surfaces, protecting them from damage caused by heavy machinery traffic and other wear and tear. Proper application of a dry-shake hardener reduces concrete porosity, minimizing the absorption of oils, chemicals, and potential damage.
While the standard color for hardening powder is gray, the visual appeal of industrial floors has become increasingly important due to its positive impact on worker morale and company image. Hardening powder, in addition to its inherent properties, can also play a role in aesthetic design.
Dry-shake hardening powder is produced with mineral pigments to create a variety of colors. Reflective floors can brighten workspaces, improve work efficiency, and reduce lighting costs. The aesthetic value of dry-shake hardening powder has led to a growing trend of its use in public buildings and private homes.
Dry-shake hardeners are applied as a dry compound to the surface of fresh concrete. This application can be done manually or mechanically. In the manual method, it’s typically applied after the concrete has been spread, while the mechanical method is usually carried out immediately after the concrete is spread, before the initial set of the concrete occurs.
The final thickness of the dry-shake hardener should be between 2 and 3 millimeters. The amount of material required to achieve this depends on the bulk density of the dry-shake hardener. The end use of the floor and the type of dry-shake hardener will determine the application rate. This can vary depending on different applications in various locations.
In the mechanical application method, 5 kilograms per square meter is ideal, and for manual application, 4 to 5 kilograms per square meter is recommended (with a maximum of 7 kilograms per square meter). However, this can vary significantly depending on site conditions, the concrete mix, and the amount of water in the concrete
The surface should be considered a safe environment in all types of materials, including wet, dry, and contaminated conditions. Coatings produced with dry-spray hardener powder create a non-slip surface suitable for daily traffic and activities.
Achieving a top-tier industrial concrete flooring requires meticulous planning, coordination, and control. The concrete mix must be of high quality, and the delivery schedule to the job site needs to be closely monitored and consistent. Environmental conditions significantly impact the surface moisture of the concrete, which in turn affects its application and overall quality. The stages involved in spreading the concrete using specialized equipment must be precisely timed. Finally, proper curing and finishing of the concrete are crucial for achieving a high-quality final surface.
An experienced industrial concrete flooring contractor who understands the intricacies of concrete placement and the use of appropriate equipment plays a pivotal role in delivering a quality product. Professional contractors employ a robust quality control system.
