This procedure covers material, supervision and methods for floor finish with
Metallic floor hardener.

2. Purpose:
The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for floor finish with
Metallic floor hardener.

3. General Requirements:
Casting of floor finish with Ironite shall be done as per technical specification
and IS 2571-1970 (Laying of in-situ cement concrete flooring).

4. Materials:
 Portland Cement as per IS 269:2015.
 River Sand, course aggregate 10/12.5mm as per IS 383.
 Ironite –Surface Hardener or equivalent from Ironite Co. of India ltd.
 6 mm down course stone aggregates.
 Construction water.

Basic laying procedure of floor finish with Metallic floor hardener shall be
done in two parts:

 Part –A laying of screed concrete average thickness 38mm.

 Part-B Topping of 12mm over screed concrete with Metallic floor
hardener.
Note: Application should be carried out before erection of equipments.

Part A - Laying of screed concrete average thickness 38mm: -

 All surfaces in areas to receive cement topping shall be broom cleaned,
and be free from loose particles; any grease, paint, oil spot, asphalt or
tar shall be removed; any projections such as nails, bolts or screws shall
be cut off finished with the concrete slabs; and any laitance or scum
shall be removed by the use of stiff bristle brushes.

 The concrete floor topping shall be laid in 3x3 m panels by providing

3mm thick and 25mm & above depth glass/PVC/aluminium strips
leaving 12mm above the top of screed concrete with 1:3 cement
mortar, alternate panels shall be laid on one day followed by the other
group of alternate panels the next. The edges of the panels shall be
supported either by wooden strips or flat angle iron pieces fixed in
position properly.

 Immediately prior to placement of cement topping, the base slab shall

be thoroughly moistened and brush coated with the neat cement grout,
to provide a proper bond for the surface of application.

 The cement concrete shall consist of one part Portland cement, 1.5 part
fine aggregates and 3 parts of course aggregate, proportioned by
volume, with the addition of required water per bag of cement.

 The course aggregate shall be well graded of 12.5mm down size and
well graded river sand shall be use as a fine aggregate. The fine and
course aggregates shall be free from deleterious loam, vegetable
matters or any ingredients that may affect their bonding properties.

 This screed concrete shall be applied in average thickness of 38 mm

after all heavy construction work completed and all the machinery,

equipment units etc. installed. All the undulations of grade slab to be

covered/levelled with this grade to make the surface uniform.

 The concrete shall be laid gently in the panels and tamped with wooden
mallets till a cream of mortar covers the surface. Wooden strips or flat
pieces shall be removed before laying the alternate panels.

 After screeding the topping to the established grades, the surface shall
be compacted by tamping, then floated with a wooden float or power
floating machine.

 After the topping has been partially set, the surface shall be steel
trowelled to a smooth and even finish, free from tool marks. A final
steel trowelling shall be given until the surfaces have set to a hard and
uniform finish.

Part B- Topping of 12mm over screed concrete with Metallic floor

hardener: -
 Ironite hard topping finish shall be applied in average 12 mm thick while
the base screed concrete layer in still wet/green condition.

 The cement Ironite shall consist of well-mixed dry mixture containing

one part Ironite to four parts cement by weight.

 This shall consist of one part of cement- Ironite (approved

manufacturer, Ironite Co. of India Limited surface hardener or
equivalent) mix to two parts of well-graded hard crushed stone
aggregates (6 mm down size) by volume. After mixing these ingredients
homogeneously adequate water shall be added
 Water sprinkling shall be done during placing, tamping, finishing.
 Curing shall be done by covering with wet sacks for 2 days and then by
ponding 50 mm water for 7 days.
 Manufacturer data sheet approved manufacturer, Ironite Co. of India
Limited surface hardener or equivalent shall be followed as guidelines.

6. Quality Assurance & Quality control:

 Technical specification
 Ensure proper mixing
 Surface finishing.

7. Safety concerns:

 PPE’s shall be used properly by all workman

 All rotational units should be covered.
 Manufacturer’s M.S.D.S. shall be follows.

8. Enclosure:

 Datasheet of approved manufacturer, Ironite Co. of India Limited’s

surface hardener or equivalent.
 Format for record.
