Floor Hardeners By Tri Polarcon Pvt. Ltd.

Floor HardenersUsesTriflor Diamond hard provide a highly abrasion resistant surface to concrete floors by the dry shake on method which ensures that the hard wearing surface bonds monolithically to the base concrete. They are ideally suited for all industrial areas subject to the heaviest traffic, e.g. loading bays, trucking lanes, car parks, workshops, machine shops, ramps and spillways.AdvantagesNon metallic - does not rust or stain.Provides a hard, abrasion resistant surfaceForms monolithic bond with base concreteEasy and economical to applyDescriptionTriflor Diamond hard is quality controlled, factory blended powder which are ready to use on site. They contain special hard wearing 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. Triflor Diamond hard cure monolithically to provide a dense, non-porous surface which is extremely hard wearing and abrasion resistant. Monolithic cure ensures that problems normally associated with thin granolithic' screeds, viz., shrinkage, cracking, etc., are completely overcome. Being non- metallic, Triflor Diamond hard provide a non-slip surface which will never rust and disintegrate.PropertiesAbrasion resistanceTriflor Diamond hard have been tested against control concrete for abrasion resistance. Test results showed that improves the Triflor Diamond hard abrasion resistance of concrete by 225% and by 150% when tested as per guidelines in IS: 1237 - 1980. Specification clauseAll concrete floors shall be Triflor Diamond hard surfaced or broadcast with Triflor Diamond hard, a non-metallic monolithic surface floor hardening compounds containing rust free, hard wearing aggregates. The aggregates shall have a Moh's hardness of not less than 9 for and not less than 8 for Triflor Diamond hard.Compressive strengthTriflor Diamond hard shall possess a minimum compressive strength of 60 N/mm2and 50N/mm2.Application instructionsBase concreteThe 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 (in case of Triflor Diamond hard) are required. The concrete should have a slump of between 75 and 100 mm () and 50 and 75mm (in case 0 Triflor Diamond) .The base concrete should be laidand 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. Triflor Diamond hard are applied for different types of industrial use.Application Intended Avg. Wear Rate(kg/m2) traffic use (IS: 1237-1980)7.0 Heavy <2mm5.0 Medium >2 <3.5mm3.0 Light >3.5 <4mmIt is recommended that the floor be marked off into bays of known area. Sufficient material should then be laid out to meet the required.
