About CHAPDUR NON METALLIC MINERAL FLOOR HARDENER
91 000 74051 Sika Chapdur (IN) is a one-part, premixed, coloured mineral dry-shake hardener used for concrete floors. When broadcast and worked into fresh concrete, it creates an extremely hard-wearing, abrasion-resistant, dust-proof surface. Ideal for areas subject to heavy mechanical wear like warehouses, parking lots, factories, service stations, public floors, and more.
Key Features & BenefitsReady to use; simple application method. High wear resistance & impact resistance. Dust-proof surface; easy to clean. Non-metallic, rust-free formula. Increased resistance to oils and grease.
Q1. What is the coverage of one 30 kg bag?A: For heavy duty (~5.5-6.0 kg/m), one 30 kg bag will cover approximately 5 to 5.5 m. For lighter duty, higher coverage.Q2. Can I apply this on any concrete/slab?A: The substrate concrete must be good quality, fully compacted, with slump in the range ~75-110 mm. Compressive strength of the concrete should be at least ~20 N/mm. Surface should be clean and free of weak laitance. Q3. How long before the floor can be used?A: Foot traffic after ~72 hours; full service (heavier loads) after ~7 days, when fully cured. Q4. Is this product suitable where oil / grease / chemical spillage happens?A: Yes the product has increased resistance to oils and grease. However, frequent cleaning and maintenance are needed.Q5. What precautions should I take during application?A:Do not apply in strong wind or excessively dry air.Do not add water over the dry shake once applied.Spread in two stages for better blending: first ~60% then ~40%.Use proper finishing tools (trowels, power trowels) to compact and smooth.Cure immediately after finishing, protect from rain or contamination.
Superior Surface PerformanceCHAPDUR non-metallic floor hardener significantly improves the strength, abrasion, and impact resistance of concrete surfaces. Its proprietary blend of mineral oxides forms a dense, non-rusting layer that shields floors in demanding industrial and commercial environments. This ensures long-term durability, even in areas exposed to heavy machinery or constant foot and vehicle traffic.
Versatile ApplicationsDesigned for diverse facilities, CHAPDUR is suitable for warehouse floors, loading bays, workshops, garage spaces, and factories. Its slip-resistant and monolithic finish provides safety and reliability in high-traffic environments. Available in multiple colours, it can match aesthetic or functional requirements depending on user preference and project specifications.
Simple and Reliable ApplicationThis ready-to-use powder is intended for dry-shake application on freshly poured concrete. Its fine, granular texture ensures even distribution and optimal surface integration. Supplied in moisture-proof 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE bags, CHAPDUR maintains its performance properties for up to 12 months when stored in dry, unopened packaging.
FAQ's of CHAPDUR NON METALLIC MINERAL FLOOR HARDENER:
Q: How is CHAPDUR NON METALLIC MINERAL FLOOR HARDENER applied to concrete floors?
A: CHAPDUR is applied using the dry-shake method. Once concrete is freshly laid, the hardener is broadcast evenly at a coverage rate of 4-7 kg/m2 (depending on required performance), then floated and trowelled into the surface to achieve a dense, monolithic layer.
Q: What benefits does CHAPDUR provide compared to plain concrete?
A: CHAPDUR enhances surface durability by increasing compressive strength by up to 25% versus standard concrete. It also improves abrasion and impact resistance, prevents rusting and creates a slip-resistant, non-dusting floor finish.
Q: When should CHAPDUR be used during concrete installation?
A: For best results, CHAPDUR should be applied immediately after the initial set of freshly poured concrete, while the surface is still plastic. This allows for optimal bonding and integration with the base slab.
Q: Where is CHAPDUR most effectively used?
A: This mineral floor hardener is ideal for industrial and commercial environments such as warehouses, loading docks, factories, garages, workshops, and other heavy-duty flooring applications requiring enhanced durability and abrasion resistance.
Q: Is CHAPDUR non-toxic and safe to use?
A: Yes, CHAPDUR is non-toxic, non-corrosive, odourless, and does not contain hazardous or poisonous substances. It is safe for use in various industrial and commercial spaces.
Q: What is the recommended storage method and shelf life of CHAPDUR?
A: Store CHAPDUR in its original unopened packaging under dry conditions. Under these conditions, it remains effective for up to 12 months from the manufacturing date.
Q: Can CHAPDUR floor hardener be supplied in different colours?
A: Yes, in addition to the standard grey, CHAPDUR is also available in red, green, and other colours to meet aesthetic or functional requirements in various projects.
