[Factory Floor of Molds] Surface Reinforcement Material ■ Seal Hard ■ Oil Absorption Suppression ■ E-CON
LATICRETE International
The floor of the mold factory has been finished with Seal Hard W specification and Petrotex (oil absorption suppressor). Please take a look at this special floor designed with oil mist countermeasures in mind.
We applied the 【Seal Hard W specification + Petrotex (oil absorption suppressor)】 at the press mold factory. Additionally, we used a special specification with E-CON (membrane curing agent). The customer was a highly specialized company that develops press molds nationwide. During the meeting, it became clear that the work within the factory was diverse. They mentioned the installation of a 250-ton processing machine, which would involve oil-based processing. With the presence of forklift traffic, I thought a simple specification would lead to a mismatch, so I proposed the following specifications: - 【Seal Hard W】 to enhance wear resistance and strengthen the floor - 【Petrotex_Oil Absorption Suppressor】 to reduce oil stains - 【E-CON】 to minimize plastic cracking that tends to occur during summer pouring I was shown the existing factory, where the green painted floor was peeling. They were struggling with maintenance issues there as well. The strength of Seal Hard is that it is free from peeling and lifting. They appreciated the quality of a finish that can last long. The customer was surprised to see how beautiful the floor looked after the application, saying, "Can concrete look this good?" Easy maintenance with regular water wiping is sufficient. Please consider this for finishing in factories and similar settings.

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 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 standard specifications. Additionally, maintenance remains easy and, due to the polishing, the floor becomes even more resistant to dirt while maintaining the same standards as before.

Applications/Examples of results
Large logistics centers and warehouses, as well as factories, low-cost commercial facilities, 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 are examples of projects similar to this specification, featuring Seal Hard Premium.

【Before Construction_Substrate】 This is the condition of the floor before construction. By thoroughly cleaning the floor, which is in a state with plenty of laitance, the roughness will be removed, resulting in a smooth finish.
-
【Before Construction_Substrate】 Before washing the floor, I thoroughly check the condition of the floor. At this time, I select the pads and other tools to be used and anticipate the outcome. I had a feeling that it would turn out to be a good floor this time.
-
Since it was a summer placement, we adopted E-CON. It is a membrane curing material that delays the hardening of the placement, allowing for a gradual increase in strength. By using E-CON, the initial plastic cracking during hardening can be reduced.
-
[Cleaning Process] We will thoroughly wash using a polisher. By performing the washing process slowly and removing the fragile laitance layer, the way the materials penetrate will change. This cleaning is given the most time to ensure that materials can be directly applied to strong concrete.
-
[Partial Completion] When the customer visited for a tour, we completed a portion of the work up to today's finish. This was done so they could see the difference between the floor after pouring and the finished work. I remember they were surprised by the difference. I wanted to exceed their expectations, so I worked even more carefully on the finishing.
-
【Seal Hard】 I added plenty of material. I applied it with a mop, ensuring there were no gaps or unevenness both vertically and horizontally.
-
[End of the first round] When applying seal hard, it becomes a shade darker (wet color) compared to before application. And it becomes smooth and slippery.
-
Petrotex The day after the second application of Seal Hard, we applied Petrotex. After creating a layer of Seal Hard, we incorporated Petrotex to enhance the floor's resistance to oil penetration.
