Study of Surface Treatment of Freshly Fabricated Concrete Roof Tiles

This study deals with stability and quality of surface treatment of concrete roof tiles, considering the use of special inorganic binders spraying onto freshly prefabricated surface of concrete roof tiles. Their application leads to smoothing of surface defects generated from previous processing. Method of applying the coating is discussed in this work among with stability study of styrene-acrylate cement mixtures. Impact of presence of selected styrene-acrylate copolymer onto the hydration of cement is evaluated, in order to verify, for how long could be prepared mixture used for treating freshly fabricated surface of concrete roof tiles. Pull-off tests results after freeze-thaw test are further presented in this study to verify designed coating process properties.
