PRODUCT IRONATE-A is a non-metallic, non-carresive, anti- Static, non-magnetic, inert floor topping hardener (dry shake on type) with high density aggregates and active powder. It is available as a compo- nent which mixes easily with Ordinary Portland cement of all grades, and also as a Ready-to-use Floor hardener, On proper application it preduces a tough, abra- sion resistant, non-skid, near to impervious, long- wearing surface that is static-dispersing and spark resistant. It improves the resistance of the floor to oil, grease, mild acids & alkalies, improves impact reistance and greatly reduces dusting of the floor. USES Light to heavy duty Industrial Floors. * Warehouses Godowns * O.M, Plants Parking area Loading Bays * Machine shops Workshops * Decks, Ramps. Breweries & Laboratories floor Desalination plants * Ideal substitute to Normal LP.S. floor Timing of application is very important. Application of mix (or ready-to-use IRONATE-A) should begin as soon as the surface water has disappeared but the concrete surface is still wet. Excess surface water will result in lower strength while insufficient moisture will show crazy cracks, pitting and flaking of the surface. Sprinkle the material evenly on the levelled surface starting from the panelbay edges. The first shake should consist of half to two-thirds of the total te be applied. Allow the first shake to absorb moisture and float the surface. Immediately after floating, shake on the rest of the material evenly and trowel it to a smooth finish. If a power trowel is used, ensure that the surface is sufficiently hardened to prevent sinking and damage to the surface. Use ofa bridge to shake on the material, is recommended in case of large/end panels. ADVANTAGES Economical Eliminates screedigranolithic topping Anti-static Oil, grease reistant floor Inert, Non Toxic * Hard wearing surface Reduces dusting * Non-magnetic * Increase Impact resistance * — Non-corrosive APPLICATION GUIDELINES Surtace preparation : Surface should be free from dirt, cil, laitance, grease, loose particles ete. When applying on old concrete: ensure that the sub-basae is sound and surface properly cleaned Cracks, joints, loose scales etc, should be prop- erly repaired before application, Minimum 50mm thinckness is recommended in such cases. | The base concrete should have minimum com. pressive strength of 160 kg per sq. cm. inorder to take full advantage af the properties of Iranate- A, it is essential to control the water : cement ratio of the concrete mix (maximum 0.48). Use CEMWET WRA-1 to achieve good workability & high strength at controlled wis ratio. Application : When IRONATE-A compound is to be used, dry mix 2 parts IRONATE- and 1 part O.P.C. by weight until a uniform colour mix is obtained. Ready-to-use IRONATE-A is to be applied direct CURING : Begin curing as soon as possible after finishing but without marring the surface. Alternatively apply cure well, resin based curring compound. Incase of conventional curing, atleast 14 days curing is recommended. CONSUMPTION : 2 kg to 7 kg per sq. m. depending on the use of the floor. STORAGE : Store in a cool, dry place PACKING : 50 Kg bags. GRADES AVAILABLE : Grade A (250% strength of Normal Concrete), Grade 8 (150% strength of Normal Concrete)
