Wear-resistant flooring, also known as金刚砂 flooring, involves sprinkling a layer of金刚砂 aggregates onto the concrete surface after pouring, enhancing its wear resistance. Solidified flooring, also referred to as硬化 flooring, is achieved by the penetration of concrete sealant into the concrete, altering the internal structure of the concrete through material reaction, and then adding hardness and luster. The construction processes for both are also quite different.
Wear-Resistant Flooring: During construction, the wear-resistant aggregates are fully integrated into the concrete surface, ensuring a simultaneous process with the concrete. After completion, the flooring becomes one with the concrete, resulting in a product that is essentially the concrete itself. However, at this point, the concrete no longer exhibits its typical issues, such as weathering, powdering, oxidation, rough surface, easy dusting, and resistance to acids and alkalis, oil stains, etc.
Concrete Sealer and Curing Agent Flooring: It is necessary to wait for the concrete to fully cure before applying the curing agent during construction. It is essential to ensure that the concrete is completely dry before application, typically after protecting the concrete for about 20 days post-construction. The curing agent penetrates deeply into the concrete, becoming one with it, resulting in a final product that retains the original characteristics of the concrete. However, the concrete now forms a dense, unified structure, offering resistance to penetration, compression, wear, and corrosion from acids, alkalis, and salts. It is dust-free and requires no maintenance or care.
During the current construction projects, many customers are opting to combine two processes: the application of wear-resistant flooring and curing agent together. This creates a denser, stronger entity with enhanced functionality and a longer service life.
