Dry Shake Floor Finish

Mineral and metallic dry shake hardeners provide additional abrasion resistance for high wear industrial and commercial concrete floors.

Dry shake floor finish.

The end use of the floor and the dry shake type define the typical application rate. It is an economical concrete floor hardener recommended for both interior and exterior use. Reduced energy costs with light reflective formulations. 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.

Dry on wet or wet on wet application. Surflex is a quartz silica mixture of finely graded non metallic aggregates plasticizer and cement binder. If there is any bleed water present it has to be removed before the dry shake is spread. Dry shake topping or polished concrete floors are achieved when a powder coating is applied to the surface concrete after its been poured and before it has completely dried.

Dry shakes and floor toppings toughness that stands the test of time. 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. It is sprinkled on the top of fresh concrete or pre mixed with water and poured on as a slurry. Permanent color that will not fade.

The necessary application rate to achieve this depends on bulk density of the dry shake. When looking for a durable concrete finish with a colour it is a good idea to look at a dry shake finish. Mastertop metallic and mineral aggregate surface hardeners and floor toppings improve wear abrasion and impact resistance of floors. The final thickness of a dry shake finish should be 2 to 3 mm.

Permaban dry shake floor finishes. Dry shake topping coatings can also offer extra resilience colour and reflectivity. 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. Qualidur hp is a non metallic dry shake concrete finish for industrial floors.

Dry shake hardeners provide additional abrasion resistance for high wear industrial commercial and industrial concrete floors. Variable rates can be specified in a building to suit the different uses in different places. Variable rates can be specified in a building to suit the different uses in different places. Doing so adds extra protection gives a deeper and richer finish and greatly extends the life of the floor.

It contains specially shaped and graded mineral aggregates cement mixing additives and colour pigments blended into a powder.
