Topping - dry concrete floor hardener

Fortedur 1020

Let's consider a project for the installation of an industrial floor, the " topping floors " technology.

Reconstruction of the production workshop, under the storage of finished paper products.

Industrial floors for a warehouse

The final coating of the concrete floor must be with increased physical and mechanical characteristics.
Resistance to wear and abrasion, strength, absence of cement dust in the production room.
Concrete topping floors, will be operated at medium loads, loading and unloading equipment.

For this project, our company recommended the use of corundum-based dry hardener (topping), Fortedur 1020.
This technology will allow exploiting the concrete floor for 10-15 years.

Dry concrete floor hardener is a mixture containing special types of cements, modifying additives and fillers.

Topping increases durability and abrasion resistance.
The price and characteristics of materials vary with respect to the filler of the mixture.

Preparation and placement of concrete

Quartz fillers

Contains quartz sand and dyes. Apply: for operation of a floor with average loadings (garages, warehouses, trading floors, etc.).

Corundum additives

In the form of corundum crumbs, which add a characteristic shine to the topping floor and make it resistant to wear.

Metallized fillers based on metal chips

1. Reinforce the surface layer of concrete to obtain a durable coating, but make it susceptible to corrosion.

2. Contain quartz sand and dyes.

3. Used for the operation of the floor with medium loads (garages, warehouses, trading floors, etc.).

Fillers	Based on sintered oxides (corundum), 55.42% by weight of the product
Compressive strength, after 28 days	min. 70 MPa
Wear resistance according to Boehme	2 cm3 / 50 cm
Abrasion resistance according to BCA	0.035 mm
Consumption	4 kg/sq.m.
Color:	Grey.

Application of dry hardener and troweling

Applying a membrane former (varnish) and cutting seams

Industrial floors with toppings

2 times increase in the service life of the floor, compared to classic types of concrete, with a minimum increase in the final price.
Technology cost (topping) : 5 USD/sq.m.
Installation speed: 4 days.
Resistance to high operational loads of industrial floors.
Increased impact resistance of industrial floors.
They gave waterproofing properties to the floor surface, against the penetration of aggressive substances (oils, solvents, etc.).
Dust removal and anti-slip surface protection.
Safety of industrial floor operation for personnel.

Industrial floors

Periodically, every 3-4 years, carry out a procedure for hardening and dust removal of the concrete floor, using liquid silicate impregnations or varnish (membrane former).
This will make it possible to maintain the high performance characteristics of the concrete base.
