Powerfloor Gray
- POWERFLOOR Gray are quality controlled, factory blended powder which are ready to use on site.
- They contain special hardwearing aggregates which have been selected for abrasion and wear resistant properties as well as shape and size.
- These latter considerations, together with the use of high performance workability admixtures, produce a material which is easy to trowel into the surface of fresh, wet concrete.
- POWERFLOOR Gray cures monolithically to provide a dense, non-porous surface which is extremely hardwearing and abrasion resistant.
- Monolithic cure ensures that problems normally associated with thin ‘granolithic’ screeds, viz. shrinkage, cracking, etc., are completely overcome. Being non metallic, POWERFLOOR Gray provide a nonslip surface which will never rust and disintegrate.
- Aesthetics – Available in specify shades.
- Easy to use – Easily to mix with water and forms soft consistency paste which is easy to fill the joints.
- Shrinkage & cracking – Avoids cracks formation in the joints and also there is negligible shrinkage.
- Service Temperature – Specially formulated for temperature range of 5° – 120°C.
- Water resistant – Excellent water-resistance making it beneficial for application in areas immersed under water.
- Durability & UV resistant – Excellent UV resistance & durability enables the product use for exterior application.
- High Strength & abrasion resistant – High strength & abrasion resistance properties makes it suitable for grouting of toilets & bathrooms.
Base concrete:
- The base concrete should have a minimum cement content of 300 kg/m3. The concrete mix should be designed to minimize segregation and bleeding. Free water cement ratios of less than 0.55 are required. Use of ‘s water reducing admixture is recommended.
- The base concrete should be laid and compacted in accordance with good concrete practice. Accurate finished profile and minimum laitance build up should be ensured. Particular attention should be paid to bay edges and corners to ensure full compaction. POWERFLOOR is applied for different types of industrial use.
- It is recommended that the floor be marked off into bays of known area. Sufficient material should then be laid out to meet the required spread rates.
- Application of POWERFLOOR can begin when the base concrete has stiffened to the point when light foot traffic leaves an imprint of about 3mm. Any bleed water should by now have evaporated. POWERFLOOR is applied in two stages.
- (a) The first application is made using 50% to 70% of the total material. POWERFLOOR is evenly broadcast onto the concrete surface. When the material becomes uniformly dark by the absorption of moisture from the concrete this first application can be floated. Wooden floats or, on large areas, the power trowel with disc may be used. It is important, however, that the surface is not over worked.
- (b) Immediately after floating, the remaining POWERFLOOR is sprinkled evenly over the surface. Again moisture is absorbed and the surface can be floated in the same way as before.
- Final finishing of the floor using a power trowel can be carried out when the floor has stiffened sufficiently so that damage will not be caused.
-
Health & Safety :
- POWERFLOOR contains Portland cement and is therefore alkaline when in contact with water.
- Prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Any eye contamination should be washed immediately with plenty of clean water and medical advice sought.
Limitations :
- For concretes with optimized water cement ratios, POWERFLOOR shall not be broadcast in excess of 2 3 4 kg /m.
- POWERFLOOR special is not advised for broadcast over concrete in subzero temperatures, such as, floorings for cold storages etc.
