【Factory Floor】Permeable Concrete Surface Strengthening ◎ Case Study ◎ Seal Hard
LATICRETE International
We applied 【Seal Hard W】 to the floors of a first section listed company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This special finish includes joint filling and oil absorption suppression agents. It is a floor that protects the operation and functioning of the factory.
We constructed the factory floor that was newly established between 2019 and 2020. We applied [Seal Hard W, Petrotex, SSP100] for a company that manufactures industrial robots. This company has incorporated various flooring solutions up to the present. As a result of continuing with painted floors, they were troubled by high costs, peeling, lifting, and oil stains. Our company had products that could contribute to solving these issues. Seal Hard specializes in preventing peeling and lifting. Furthermore, to achieve a stronger floor, we divided the construction period into two phases with a W specification, boasting 1.4 times the wear resistance of the standard specification. Petrotex, made from oil absorption-reducing and permeable materials, can reduce damage from water and oil, serving as a countermeasure against oil splashes in factories. Additionally, to suppress cracks, we performed joint cutting followed by joint filling. SSP100 is one answer to preventing debris blockage and handling induced joints. It is a micro-elastic joint filler that follows concrete shrinkage. In factories with heavy traffic, corner chipping is inevitable, and this product helps prevent that. This has resulted in one of the highest quality concrete finishing floors in Japan. With such a high-quality floor, maintenance becomes extremely easy.

basic information
Seal Hard is a colorless, odorless, and environmentally friendly concrete surface hardener that is non-polluting. It is a colorless and transparent liquid primarily composed of sodium silicate. After application, it penetrates the surface of the concrete and undergoes a chemical reaction with the concrete components, generating a glass-like substance on the surface. This chemical reaction continues over time with regular water washing that replenishes moisture. Concrete strengthened by Seal Hard becomes more beautiful and glossy with use and regular washing, enhancing its shine without becoming slippery. Seal Hard W is widely used in warehouse and logistics center floors. The first application can be done after 7 days from the concrete pouring. The second application requires a curing period of at least 14 days after the first application. Additionally, maintenance remains easy and, due to polishing, results in a strong floor that is even more resistant to dirt, just like the standard specifications.

Detailed information

【Joint Filler】 SSP100 is a joint filler born in the USA. It is made of a material called polyurea, which is "micro-elastic." This micro-elasticity makes it suitable for joint filling. It has a hardness that follows the expansion and contraction of concrete. It is a strong material that is different from seals and caulking.
-
【Joint Filling】 SSP100 (joint filling material) viewed from the side. It adheres well to concrete and sets in about 5 minutes after injection. The work efficiency is also good, and ordering it together with Seal Hard can shorten the construction period.
-
【Petrotex Oil Absorption Suppressant】 Industrial oil is used in factories, and that oil splashes and stains the floor. This is a concern for factory owners. The oil absorption suppressant is manufactured by the same company that produces Seal Hard. It is also a permeable material, free from peeling and flaking. It penetrates and forms a membrane inside the concrete that suppresses oil absorption, delaying the intrusion of oil and water. The recommended specification for factories and restaurants is 【Seal Hard + Petrotex】.
-
【Construction Scene】 Water washing is an essential part of any specification. Weak layers and dirt on the concrete surface are removed with a polisher and vacuumed up. This is a crucial process that cannot be omitted in seal hardening work.

[First Construction After Photo] This is the floor after washing, applying seal hard, and removing residues. We will now have a curing period of about two weeks before starting the second phase on-site. This two-week period is important for increasing strength.
