Frequently Asked Questions about the POLISHCRETETM system
Where is the POLISHCRETE System used?
Anywhere there is exposed concrete, or terrazzo. This includes, but is not limited to retail environments (grocery stores, clothing, hardware, malls, sporting goods, etc.), schools, manufacturing plants, restaurants, food processing plants, warehouses, movie theaters, aviation hangars, automotive dealerships, printing facilities, government buildings and offices, distribution centers, stadiums, convention centers, and other locations where exposed concrete or terrazzo needs protection, ease of maintenance and an aesthetic finish.
Can POLISHCRETE be used with coloured concrete?
Yes POLISHCRETE is effectively used in conjunction with integrally coloured concrete (where a pigment is added into the concrete mix), acid stained concrete, and dry shake coloured floor hardeners.
When can the floor be used after the POLISHCRETE process is complete?
The floor can be used immediately. There is no drying or waiting time.
When will the floor be fully “cured”, or “mature”?
As soon as the POLISHCRETE application is finished, the floor will be completely abrasion resistant, dust proof, and polished. The sealing process, however, is a combination of a chemical called NANOSEAL and mechanical reaction. The mechanical process will be complete and the floor will be much easier to clean. The chemical reaction within the concrete will continue for several months. It is important to keep the floor cleaned during this curing phase, as the floor is becoming densified from within.
Is the POLISHCRETE System a coating?
No. The POLISHCRETE System is a chemical and mechanical reaction with the concrete itself. When the application is finished, the concrete is still bare, but it has gone through a chemical ( NANOSEAL) and mechanical process to protect, harden, and polish the surface. The beauty of the POLISHCRETE System is that the concrete is protected and polished, yet there is no coating to peel, scratch, or wear.
How long does the POLISHCRETE application process take
This depends entirely upon the preparation and layout of the floor. Application time will be the same or faster than the application of an epoxy or urethane system. With no stand down at completion
