Dry shake floor finish. The method of application of dry shake also influences its rate of application. Surflex is a quartz silica mixture of finely graded non metallic aggregates plasticizer and cement binder. Dry shake hardeners provide additional abrasion resistance for high wear industrial commercial and industrial concrete floors. Mineral and metallic dry shake hardeners provide additional abrasion resistance for high wear industrial and commercial concrete floors.
It is sprinkled on the top of fresh concrete or pre mixed with water and poured on as a slurry. The necessary application rate to achieve this depends on bulk density of the dry shake. Finishers can start applying dry shakes to the surface of a floor slab as soon as the surface is firm enough so that the material doesn t sink and form small pockets of material. Doing so adds extra protection gives a deeper and richer finish and greatly extends the life of the floor.
Reduced energy costs with light reflective formulations. Dry shake topping coatings can also offer extra resilience colour and reflectivity. Qualidur hp is a non metallic dry shake concrete finish for industrial floors. Variable rates can be specified in a building to suit the different uses in different places.
The principal behind this is approximately 5 7kg of a coloured hardener is added to every square metre of the surface either mechcanically or on smaller areas by hand. The rate of application of dry shake onto the fresh concrete is based on bulk density of the dry shake and the end use of the floor. When looking for a durable concrete finish with a colour it is a good idea to look at a dry shake finish. Dry shake application rates.
Although commonly sprinkled as a dry powder hence the name dry shake a surface hardener can also be applied as a wet on wet slurry. Dry shakes and floor toppings toughness that stands the test of time. The end use of the floor and the dry shake type define the typical application rate. Mastertop metallic and mineral aggregate surface hardeners and floor toppings improve wear abrasion and impact resistance of floors.
Variable rates can be specified in a building to suit the different uses in different places. Dry on wet or wet on wet application. It contains specially shaped and graded mineral aggregates cement mixing additives and colour pigments blended into a powder. Permanent color that will not fade.
