WORKMANSHOP
FIN12.W010.P APPLICATION OF FLOOR HARDENER AND CURING AGENT
Installation of Monolithic Dry-shake, Heavy Duty & Dust-Free Floor Hardener and
Curing Agent:
1. The base concrete shall be placed with formwork in accordance with good concrete
practices.
2. The water / cement ratio should be kept to a minimum consistent with the need
to produce fully compacted concrete without excess water coming to the surface.
3. In case the evaporation is higher than the expected bleeding, the “curing agent”
intermediate curing has to start as early as possible. The same refers to the
concrete installation in a water-cement ratio of <0.5. Also here the surface must
be protected by an “curing agent” intermediate curing. Stir “curing agent”
thoroughly before use. Apply the “curing agent” intermediate curing timely
according to the intended use. “Curing agent” is supplied ready to use and applied
undiluted over the surface as fine, dense mist using an appropriate spraying
device. Avoid formation of puddles.
4. The concrete mix should be sufficiently densified (by vibration or vacuum
treatment) to achieve a minimum compressive strength of 45 N/mm².
5. The concrete should be properly leveled, and laid to fall as specified.
6. Mix the “Floor hardener aggregate” with dry ordinary Portland cement in the
ratio of 2 parts of hard aggregate to 1 part of cement (by weight).
7. While the concrete is in the initial setting phase, sprinkle (see Note) the dry mix
evenly onto the fresh concrete at the rate of approx. 7.5kg of the dry mix per
square metre, and then wait till the surface darkens, showing that the cement part
of the dry mix absorbs water from the subbase.
8. Carry out power floating treatment on the concrete surface by means of power
trowelling machine so that the “Floor hardener aggregate” would be bonded
monolithically on the concrete surface. (For ramp area or area where the power
trowelling machine is not reachable, then steel-trowel treatment would be
adopted instead of power-floating treatment).
9. When the concrete is in the final setting phase, power trowelling or brushing
(surface finish as specified) shall be taken place.
10. Before using curing agent, stir “after-treatment agent” thoroughly. Latest after
the final smoothing of the “Floor hardener aggregate” floor resp. the cementitious
screed, “after-treatment agent must be sprayed undiluted, as fine fog, uniformly
covering the matt-damp surface. The earlier the application takes place the more
effective is the protection.
11. Before applying “after-treatment agent, the surface must be free from water
puddles.
12. Similar to paint spraying process care should be taken not to spray too much
“after-treatment agent in one place to avoid unsightly appearance.
13. Standard spraying equipment with suitable nozzles is fit for applying
“aftertreatment agent. All equipment should be cleaned carefully with water after
use.
14. As an alternative a lambskin roller may be used, which, however, increases the
consumption of the material.
15. For additionally planned paints or coats on organic basis, e. g. acrylic resin, prior
tests are indispensable. Reaction resin products, e. g. EP or PU systems are not
recommended.
Note:
a. Sprinkle has to be carried out in 2 working passages. With the first sprinkling
passage 2/3 of the dry mix are sprinkled, then it is waited till the surface
darkens showing that the cement part of the dry mix absorbs water from the
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
subgrade. Then power floating follows. Immediately after the first floating
passage the remaining third of the dry mix sprinkled. As soon as the surface
becomes again dark, second power floating starts.
b. Allow the concrete to cure for at least 28 days before applying vehicular
traffic.
c. Protect the concrete treated with hardener listed as below:
i. Clean all items and adjacent surfaces of work. Examine all floor and roof
screed damage. In the event damage is irreparable, remove and replace
such items at no additional cost. Leave entire Work in condition
acceptable to receive specified finishes.
ii. The Main Contractor shall at all times keep the Project roof and slab area
free of excessive waste, materials and rubbish. Prior to completion of all
Cementitious Floor and Roof Screed Work, the Main Contractor shall
remove all such waste, equipment, other property and tools from the
Project Site. Legally and safely handle, transport, and dispose of waste
and debris.
iii. The Main Contractor shall continually protect the Cementitious Floor
and Roof Screed System from all damage and traffic during and after
installation work until Project Handover. Install and provide temporary
traffic pads on screed areas to protect from work of other trades during
Project Construction.
iv. Prohibit foot and wheel traffic from concrete floors for a time period
determined by the longer of the following :
- Sufficient time for the concrete to reach the strength necessary to
support the foot or wheel load. Curing time recommended by
hardener and sealer system manufacturer after sealing is completed.
v. Use steel means necessary, which may include but shall not be limited to
plates, plywood, planks to protect concrete finishes from damage during
the construction period.
vi. Before installation of finishes applied to concrete, and before inspection
of exposed concrete finishes for Practical Completion, remove protective
covering and inspect for continued compliance with requirements of this
Section.
vii. Repair damaged and otherwise non-compliant concrete finishes in
accordance with approved Method Statement using materials and
installation meeting the following requirements:
- Damaged Structural Concrete Finishes: “Specification for Structural
Concrete” by Structural Engineer and this Section.
viii. Re-apply hardener and sealer system to repaired concrete finishes in
accordance with requirements of this Section.
