DIRECTIONS FOR USE

The DUROCOLOR Terrazzo must be applied to walk-on, fresh concrete. Before applying the concrete finishing machine, the surface should be roughened with brooming for the best possible grip. Before any application on old concrete surface ask for more detailed information!

Making DUROCOLOR Terrazzo mortar can be done with a concrete mixer. For larger implementations a mixer pump (for ex. Estrich Boy) is recommended. One bag of DUROCOLOR Terrazzo should be mixed with 4-5 liters of water. The mortar should be mixed until a completely smooth, dense, homogeneous mass is obtained. Avoid water over-feeding, because it may cause cracks in the surface or segregation, that can degrade the quality of the floor.

The DUROCOLOR Terrazzo of right consistency should be uniformly applied to the concrete. In case of a layer thicker than 5-6 mm, a guiding strip should be used to ensure a uniform thickness, and to achieve a good planimetry. After the curing process starts, the surface should be compacted and finished with a finishing machine. The finishing should be started with full disk. In areas where the power smoothing is not possible, the surface should be hand fi nished. It is important that power finishing must be stopped before the surface would start to burn.

POLISHING

Grinding of DUROCOLOR Terrazzo surface can be started after 5-7 days from application with an appropriate machine (p.ex. HTC, Blastrac). It can arrive, that after polishing air bubbles in DUROCOLOR Terrazzo will appear as tiny holes on the surface. These holes can be filled with DUROCOLOR Filler material. This fine dry-mortar (of the same color) should be mixed with water and
should be moved on the surface to eliminate the holes. Before the fi nal polishing the surface should be treated with LIQUIDUR liquid hardener. As an extra protection, it is recommended to apply a lacquer coating to give more shine and water-tightness to the surface.
The above description contains only general directions of use, does not cover every detail. Application can only be made by experienced, professional contractor.
