Optimization of Mineral Dry-Shake Topping Dosage in Industrial Concrete Floors with Respect to Selected Quality Parameters

For the final quality of the industrial floors with mineral dry-shake toppings is a decisive factor amount of the mineral dry-shake topping in the course of its implementation. Amount of the mineral dry-shake topping affects mainly on the abrasion resistance, which is critical for the real life of the floor. Another important property is the absorbability of the finished floor and mineral shake-layer coherence with the concrete base. This paper summarizes a study on the ideal amount of mineral dry shake toppings when considering the resulting wear resistance of floor surface finish as well as its water absorption and also the adhesion properties of the studied layer to the concrete base.
