1. INTRODUCTION:
Mosaic Floor Tiles, which are known as Terrazzo Tiles, are made of cement
concrete and coloured stone chips. These are very attractive and colourful with
smooth shining surface. These tiles are made generally in the sizes of
200X200X20mm and 300X300 X25mm. These are extensively used for flooring
purposes in building and commercial complexes. These tiles can also be made in
various other sizes, shapes according to market demand. These are hard bearing
termite proof impermeable and easily cleanable. The top surface of the tiles is
decorated with marble stone chips of various colours with suitable addition of
cement colour.
2. MARKET POTENTIAL:
1. It is envisaged that the unit will work for 300 working days in a year on a single
shift basis of 8 hours per day.
2. Full plant capacity 1 to 2 months trial production is required to achieve.
3. The normal operative period is estimated 10 years, like considering the
technology involved in this type of industry. The usual payment period of loan is
about 8 years.

Quantity
(a) Grey Mosaic Tiles : 28,500 sq. mtr.
(b) Coloured Tiles 18,000 sq. mtr.
The process for the manufactured of mosaic tiles consists of two layers, the facing
and the backing layers. The mixtures for these layers are prepared and stored in
compartments provided in the work tables on both sides of the hydraulic presses.
Ratio of cement and coloured stone chips in the facing mixture varies from 1:15 to
1:5 and the proportion of sand and gray cement in the backing mixture is 3:1. The
moisture content of these mixtures differs from each other. The facing mixture
should be in the form of slurry whereas the backing mixture is in the dump
condition.
Four moulds are provided to 4 workmen who are engaged to work on one press
one after another. The steel mould fitted up with a bottom plate is filled in first with
facing mixture by means of a ladle to a depth of ¼” and over it moist backing
mixtures are spread out upto an area all thickness exceeding ¾“. The top portion is
lowered down and mixture is subjected to a pressure of approximately 2000 lbs per
sq inch and the final thickness of the pressed tiles generally brought down to ¾”.
After withdrawing the moulds from the press the tiles are removed and stocked in a
wooden rack fitted with handles on both sides where they are allowed to remain for
about a day. The tiles are then taken to task where they are submerged under
water for about 48 hours. After removing from the tanks, the tiles are kept under a
curing shed for about 2 weeks by spraying water every day. Then the tiles are
semi-polished in disc or super leveling machines.
The polar tints of red, yellow, buff and brown are very popular and they are
obtained usually from oxides of iron. ‘Pole Green’ shades obtained by additions of
chromium oxides are also quite good. Brighter coloures are produced by the use of
white cement rather than grey cement. Dark grey can be obtained by addition of
small quantities of manganese block on ‘carbon black’. Generally colours should
not be added in quantities exceeding 10 per cent of the weight of cement used in a
batch, as they are otherwise likely to lesson the strength of the tiles and increase
drying shrinkage.
