FMT Surface offers high Durability for facilities with excessive forklift traffic volumes. FMT Surface is a dry shake aggregate surface hardener that extends the life of the floor providing abrasion and impact resistance. FMT Surface is an extremely versatile traprock floor system. FMT Surface can be applied to several different floor systems such as shrinkage compensating concrete, type I/II concrete, random traffic, defined traffic and many other applications to meet the demands of your facility and your operations.
THE PROCESS:
FMT Surface uses an aggregate hardener that is broadcast over the surface of the concrete floor slab in two applications and densified with our finishing techniques. The first application is a well-graded 3/8 washed Traprock aggregate coated with cement to insure proper seeding into the floor surface. The Traprock is broadcast evenly onto the slab surface immediately following initial strike-off of the concrete then floated with the proper tools. Following the initial set of the concrete, the slab is floated with a power trowel and the second application of Traprock is broadcast onto the surface. The second application is a grit or rice sized aggregate that is washed clean of all fines. The grit is also coated with cement and is evenly broadcast onto the surface of the slab immediately following the first power trowel floating. The slab is then check rodded to obtain the specified flatness and levelness. Attention to detail ensures a proper finish at the construction joints as well. Power trowels are used over the entire slab in alternating patterns to produce a wear surface that is very dense and almost impermeable. This highly Durable burnished trowel finish will last for many years.
THE BENEFITS:
The FMT Surface provides a Durable wear surface that is abrasion and impact resistant and light reflective. Construction and control joints are also more Durable, resisting the impact of forklift traffic because of the attention to detail and the Durable finish. The FMT Surface will last three to five times longer than a conventional or non-surface hardened floor slab. FMT Surface is ideal for facilities that typically have around the clock operations resulting in excessive forklift traffic such as Food Distribution Centers, Freezers/Coolers, Food Processing Plants and Defined Traffic Facilities.
