Factory floor surface reinforcement material ■ Seal Hard ■ Oil absorption suppression ■ E-CON
LATICRETE International
The factory floor is finished with two applications of Lion Seal Hard and Petrotex (oil absorption suppressor). It is a special specification for aesthetics, low maintenance, wear resistance, and oil countermeasures.
We applied 【Lion Hard + Seal Hard + Petrotex (oil absorption suppressor)】 at a factory in Fukui Prefecture. Additionally, we used a special specification with E-CON (pouring aid). The customer custom-makes processing equipment such as press processing. They encountered the Seal Hard floor during a visit to another factory and expressed interest. We then conducted a hearing on the factory's overview. Since they mentioned that oil mist was generated, we proposed "Petrotex" as a solution for floor contamination. Petrotex is a permeable material that can add an "oil absorption suppression" effect to the floor treated with Seal Hard. The appearance after application does not compromise the gloss of Seal Hard and helps reduce the absorption of water and oil. Moreover, since large machinery will be used, we opted for a two-layer specification of Lion Hard and Seal Hard for increased strength. We also suggested E-CON, which is effective for summer pouring. Using E-CON helps suppress rapid moisture evaporation during concrete pouring in the summer. I will never forget the words from the representative after the installation: "It's a great floor, and I'm happy it looks clean." This was a floor we could propose from the planning stage, and it was finished with high quality.

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, which penetrates the surface of the concrete after application. Through a chemical reaction with the concrete components, it generates a glass-like substance on the surface of the concrete. This chemical reaction continues over time with regular water washing for moisture replenishment. Concrete strengthened by Seal Hard becomes more beautiful and glossy with use and regular water washing over the years. Even when a gloss develops, it does not become slippery. This application was divided into two parts. After the first application, a minimum of two weeks of floor curing is performed before the second application. The second application involves polishing to finish the floor. It results in a stronger and more beautiful gloss than the standard specifications. Additionally, maintenance remains easy, and due to the polishing, it results in a strong floor that is even more resistant to dirt.

Applications/Examples of results
Large logistics centers and warehouses, as well as factories, low-cost commercial facilities, art museums, and museums, are ideal for floors finished with concrete as is. This time, it is a special specification with two applications of Lion Hard and Seal Hard. Below, we present achievements that are similar to this specification, specifically the achievements of Seal Hard Premium. Please refer to them.

Detailed information
-
Before construction - Substrate The first construction was carried out about 10 days after the concrete floor was poured.
-
【Before Construction_Substrate】 There were uneven areas on the substrate after the curing process. We made every effort possible within the given construction period.
-
[Preparation of the Base] In the first round of construction, we will thoroughly prepare the base. The outcome will vary depending on how much Lion Hard is applied to the floor in the first round. This process is directly linked to the final result.
-
[Lion Hard] Initially, we planned to apply Seal Hard twice. However, considering the unstable autumn weather in Hokuriku and the conditions before applying the exterior wall, we communicated with the designer about the possibility of exposure to rain and decided to switch to the rain-resistant Lion Hard. Its abrasion resistance is equivalent to Seal Hard, and it also reduces the risk of efflorescence, so we chose this option this time.
-
Lion Hard Construction Basically, the construction method is the same as Seal Hard. Apply generously with a mop in both directions.
-
We will carry out the finishing work carefully. The edges and surroundings of the pillars greatly affect the overall finish. We touched them as much as possible.
-
[End of the first round] This is the appearance after the Lion Hard application. There is already a glossy feel. Additionally, by applying Seal Hard during the middle of the construction, dust does not rise from the concrete. Management for other trades and the general contractor becomes easier as well.
-
【Second Application_Seal Hard】 The second application will take place about one month after the first. This time, we will carry out a thorough finishing. We will take our time and perform the polishing carefully.
-
Petrotex Water Absorption Suppressant The floor finished with Seal Hard will be finished with Petrotex the next day. By applying this, water absorption of oil is suppressed, making the floor less prone to oil penetration.
