Cast-in-place terrazzo (also known as terrazzo) is a product made by mixing gravel, glass, quartz stone and other aggregates into cement binder to make a concrete product, and then surface ground and polished. The terrazzo made of cement binder is called inorganic terrazzo, and the terrazzo made of epoxy binder is also called epoxy terrazzo or organic terrazzo. According to the construction process, terrazzo is divided into on-site pouring terrazzo and prefabricated plate terrazzo floor .
Advantages of advanced terrazzo
(1) After the terrazzo surface is treated with high brightness, the high brightness can reach more than 80~90 degrees, and the anti-dust and anti-skid can reach the quality of marble.
(2) Wear-resistant terrazzo, the surface hardness can reach Mohs hardness 6-8.
(3) Now-made or prefabricated terrazzo, can be spliced at will, and colors can be custom-made.
(4) The new type of terrazzo does not crack, is not afraid of being rolled by heavy vehicles, is not afraid of being dragged by heavy objects, and does not shrink and deform.
(5) Terrazzo has no dust and high cleanliness; the cleanliness meets the requirements of high-clean environments such as pharmaceuticals and chip manufacturing.
(6) Inorganic terrazzo is non-combustible, non-flammable, aging-resistant, stain-resistant, corrosion-resistant, odorless and pollution-free.
(7) The color of terrazzo is bright and clean. If you need to improve the brightness, you can apply floor wax or crystallization (without affecting its anti-static performance). Hardened and wear-resistant terrazzo can maintain long-term beauty without waxing.
(8) Finished terrazzo (prefabricated terrazzo) decorative grids are horizontal and vertical, there is no need for gaps between the grids, the connection is dense, and the overall aesthetics is good; commercial terrazzo can be designed with any pattern to achieve beautiful decorative effects.
Explanation of new terrazzo
(1) The emergence of new terrazzo makes traditional terrazzo floor tiles almost face bankruptcy.
(2) Inorganic terrazzo can last as long as the building.
(3) Seamless splicing of terrazzo avoids dirt.
(4) Using surface crystallization or hardening, the operation is simple, the cost is low, and the effect is satisfactory.
Due to the above reasons, people generally think that terrazzo is a medium and high-grade floor decoration material.
Traditional terrazzo has a huge market in China due to its unique advantages such as low cost, optional color mosaic, and convenient construction. There are as many as one billion square meters of terrazzo floors used in various buildings in urban and rural areas across the country. However, the traditional construction technology makes the terrazzo floor very rough and filthy, even before it is put into use, it is already filthy, which brings serious obstacles to daily sanitation and cleaning. However, with the passage of time, very prominent problems have been encountered in actual use: stains and dullness. How to restore the weathered and eroded terrazzo to its original bright and beautiful aesthetic feeling is a more and more urgent problem to be solved in the architectural decoration industry.
Modification characteristics
(1) The surface finish of terrazzo crystal treatment is high, which can reach 90 degrees gloss, and the highest gloss can reach 102 degrees, which is equivalent to the surface quality of imported medium and high-grade marble.
(2) The surface hardness reaches 5-7 grades, which is close to the surface of high-hardness granite, and has good wear resistance.
(3) Anti-permeation, waterproof and anti-fouling (water penetration rate is less than 0.2), oil resistance, weak acid resistance, alkali resistance, salt spray resistance, and the comprehensive performance of natural protection exceeds all current stone products.
(4) The service life is as high as 50 years. The special formula and structural design ensure that the "high-gloss crystal terrazzo" board is easy to repair after it is put into use, and the maintenance and cleaning costs and the difficulty of sanitation management for the ground are greatly reduced.
(5) The terrazzo floor treated with "terrazzo highlighting treatment agent" is attached with anti-permeability material on the surface, so the terrazzo does not counteract moisture, no longer has a water-permeable effect, and will not cause the ground to be wet and slippery, etc. Industrial plants, schools A series of projects such as the education system are preferred.
