DESCRIPCIÓN
HEAVY DUTY METALLIC FLOOR HARDENER
 
DESCRIPTION
 
EUCO-PLATE HD is a dry shake, metallic floor hardener with graded iron aggregate in a high strength cementitious binder. Designed to be incorporated into fresh concrete slabs, EUCO-PLATE HD provides a dense, tough surface capable of withstanding the abrasion and impact loading of industrial and manufacturing facilities. EUCO-PLATE HD has been specially formulated to be applied at heavy application rates which exceed those of standard EUCO-PLATE or other first generation metallic hardeners. EUCO-PLATE HD is also used to construct iron armored joints to protect and reinforce joint shoulders in heavy traffic areas.
 
PRIMARY APPLICATIONS
 
Industrial floors
Loading docks
Warehouses
High traffic aisleways
Processing plants
Passenger and freight terminals
Towveyors
Distribution centers
Iron armored joints
 
FEATURES/BENEFITS
 
Iron aggregate is free of rust, oil, or other contaminants
Virtually non-dusting in service
Easy to clean and maintain
Economical to own over the life of the floor
Can be applied at coverage rates up to 3.0 lb/ft2 (14.6 kg/m2 )
Available in colors
 
APPEARANCE:
 
EUCO-PLATE HD is a free flowing powder as packaged. Pigmented formulations will appear darker after placement. Standard colors are Natural (cement-colored), Light Gray, and Light Reflective. EUCO-PLATE HD is also available madeto-order in Battleship Gray, Brown, Diamond Green, French Gray, Tan, Terra Cotta, and Tile Red. The final finish can be any normally achieved with concrete and should be specified by the owner. In addition, the joints of the newly installed EUCO-PLATE HD floor can be filled with a matching color available in EUCO QWIKJOINT UVR polyurea joint filler
 
PACKAGING
EUCO-PLATE HD is packaged in 50 lb (22.7 kg) bags with polyethylene liners for moisture protection.
 
SHELF LIFE
2 years in original, unopened package
 
COVERAGE
 
EUCO-PLATE HD may be applied at rates from 1.5 to 3.0 lb/ft² (7.3 to 14.6 kg/m² ). Greater application rates yield better total abrasion resistance and may be used with special considerations. Contact your Euclid Chemical Company representative for recommended procedures.
 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
 
The contractor and engineer are encouraged to consult and review the Euclid Chemical bulletin “Dry Shake Floor Hardeners – Application Instructions”. The document offers instructions detailing the general installation of Euclid Chemical manufactured dry shake floor hardeners. Note: If the contractor is not familiar with the standard application techniques of a dry shake floor hardener, a pre-job meeting is suggested to review the project concrete mix design as well as placement and curing details unique to the particular job. Contact your local Euclid Chemical Company representative for additional information.
 
Armored Joints: EUCO-PLATE HD may also be used as a mortar to construct armored floor joints.
 
Application Tips: Colored (pigmented) dry shakes require special attention for a uniform color. Care should be taken with regard to the following; delay application of the shake as long as possible to get the maximum color saturation at the surface of the slab, apply the shake as evenly as possible and in two applications for maximum uniformity, do not burnish trowel the floor. Best appearance is achieved by hand trowelling the final finish.
 
Curing and Sealing: After finishing operations are complete and the surface will not be marred by foot traffic, apply a Euclid Chemical curing compound or cure and seal according to product instructions. To produce an exceptionally durable and dustproof surface, cure with a dissipating curing compound such as KUREZ DR VOX, then densify with EUCO DIAMOND HARD.
 
CLEAN-UP
 
Clean tools and equipment with soap and water before material hardens.
 
PRECAUTIONS/LIMITATIONS
 
The use of supplementary cementitious materials are not recommended for use with a dry shake hardener
Proper curing and sealing is required.
Curing with a sheet membrane (poly or burlene) is acceptable, however potential mottling problems may occur.
Sufficient manpower is required to produce consistent results on large placements.
Important: Air-entraining admixtures may complicate finishing operations and cause blistering. Contact The Euclid Chemical Company if application of this product will be over air entrained concrete with more than 3% total air content.
Not recommended for floors subjected to deicing salts, continuously wet environments or acids or other corrosive chemicals that may attack a cement based material. Use DIAMOND-PLATE for these applications.
Store product in a dry place.
When necessary, follow the recommendations in ACI 305R “Guide to Hot Weather Concreting” or ACI 306R “Guide to Cold Weather Concreting”. •
In all cases, consult the Safety Data Sheet before use.
