TekFlor - Floor Seal Technology

Half the price of traditional Terrazzo. The TekFlor™ System is a durable and attractively consistent engineered cement floor topping. TekFlor™ is well suited to applications demanding even color tone and floor smoothness. TekFlor™ can be finished from a matte to gloss finish utilizing diamond embedded polishing discs and MirrorCrete polishing products.

Poured-in-place custom cement terrazzo
Endless design possibilities using color dyes and recycled glass
Resurfaces ruff, cracked concrete into a smooth floor finish
Suitable for use on interior and exterior concrete surfaces
Available in low gloss, medium, and super high light reflectivity
High light reflectivity, impact, and abrasion resistance
Excellent adhesion to freshly poured concrete and old damaged concrete
2x the compressive strength and impact resistance of standard cast-in-place concrete

Characteristics

• Compressive Strength (ASTMC109): 6,000+psi
• Flexural Strength (ASTM C348): 800psi

Optional Products

MirrorCrete sealer may be applied after the Diamond Grinding process to provide immediate gloss and protection. Spray, roll, or brush one coat at 1,500 – 3,000 square feet per gallon. Allow drying 1 – 2 hours.

Additionally, an integral color pigment can be added to the cement topping to provide a consistent color tone across the floor. Select aggregates can also be added to provide a desired decorative look.

MES 100 may be added to the system to treat concrete substrates with excessive moisture vapor or alkalinity transmission.

Preparation

TekFlor™ requires a mechanical preparation of the concrete slab by shot blasting and edge-grinding. Concrete should be textured to an International Concrete Repair Institute’s Concrete Surface Profile 3 to 4. Surface must be free of dust, debris, contaminates, and weakened or defective concrete before installation begins.

Test concrete substrate for moisture and alkalinity content per the most recent version of ASTM F710. If excessive moisture or alkalinity is present, prime substrate with MES
100 moisture control system. If moisture and alkalinity are less than 75% RH and 9 pH respectively, prime substrate with CemPrime E and broadcast 30/60 grit sand into wet primer.

Installation

Apply the engineered cement topping at a minimum thickness of 3/8-inch over primed substrate. Material will self-level, so deflected or uneven slabs may require additional material to achieve desired flatness.

Once cement topping has dried, grind the surface with 400- grit diamond impregnated concrete polishing discs. Proceed with finer grits if glossier finish is desired. After final polishing pass, apply MirrorCrete Sealer to the floor to provide protection and longevity. An optional janitorial wax product may also be applied to provide additional initial protection or desired aesthetic effect.

Maintenance

TekFlor™ is designed to require minimal maintenance. A standard janitorial cleaning regimen utilizing a floor scrubber (Tennant or similar) and neutral cleaner is recommended. This process will enhance the shine and surface density over time. Do not use citrus or solvent based cleansers, as they may dull the finish of the floor.
