DURONITE-QZ is ideal cost effective solution for wear resistant heavy-duty industrial floors and slabs. It is made from special purpose quartz blended with specially formulated abrasion resistance enhancement material. It provides wear & abrasion resistant coat on the surface of new or existing concrete floors. It further imparts skid & slip resistance to the floor.

Typical Applications:

• Engineering workshops / foundries
• Railway platforms / locomotive sheds
• Utilities areas e.g. compressor, boiler & DG rooms
• Machine tool industries
• Garages
• Loading bays
• Subways
• Warehouses incl. agricultural applications
  
• Power stations
• Car parks

Usage:

DURONITE-QZ is ideal for concretes of grade M-20 and above. The recommended broadcast quantities are:

• Heavy traffic: 7 kg/m²
• Medium traffic: 5 kg/m²
• Light traffic: 3 kg/m²

Broadcast DURONITE-QZ on fresh concrete slabs while the concrete is green but sufficiently set to take applicator weights (ideally able to limit foot impression to 3 mm depth).

• Spray 50% of total quantity and hand trowel once the broadcast material has absorbed water from base concrete and become dark.
• Apply balance 50% in similar manner at 90 deg to first spray.
• Apply power float when surface sheen starts to disappear. This helps close pores & capillaries.
• Cure using wet burlap / gunny bags.
• Avoid any traffic till the concrete has fully set & achieved design strength.

DURONITE is ideal cost effective wear resistant top coat for heavy duty industrial floors / slabs. This is well graded, rust resistant ferrous aggregate available in two grades: DURONITE(R) & DURONITE(S).

Typical areas of application:

• Engineering workshops / foundries
• Railway platforms / locomotive sheds
• Utilities areas e.g. compressor, boiler & DG rooms
• Machine tool industries
• Garages
• Loading bays
• Subways
• Warehouses incl. agricultural applications
  
• Power stations
• Car parks

Usage:

• Special grade: 3-7 kg/m²
• Regular grade: 4-8 kg/m²

These should not be used in floors that are exposed to strong inorganic acids, their salts and liquid spillages.

Application on freshly laid concrete floors:

Broadcast DURONITE on fresh concrete slabs while the concrete is green but sufficiently set to take applicator weights (ideally able to limit foot impression to 3 mm depth). This should be done immediately after bleed water has evaporated.

• Spray 50% of total quantity & hand trowel.
• Spray the balance 50% at 90 Deg to first spray & hand trowel.
• Apply power float when surface sheen starts to disappear. This helps close pores & capillaries.
• Cure using wet burlap / gunny bags.
• Avoid any traffic till the concrete has fully set & achieved design strength.

Application as granolithic topping on existing floors:

In this case a top screed of 12-50 mm is required on existing floor. Typical mix design is DURONITE 50kg : Cement 200kg : Grit (3-6 mm) 600kg. Super-plasticisers to be used. W:C ratio to be 0.38-0.42.  However this needs to be confirmed by structural designers. Use of PP fibres (STRONGPLAST / NOKRACK) @ 125 gm / 50 kg cement would give additional crack & impact resistance.
