Concrete topping
Topping on fresh concrete (surface hardening)
Dry-shake hardener (quartz/corundum) applied to fresh concrete to increase abrasion resistance and reduce dusting.
Dry-shake hardener (quartz/corundum) applied to fresh concrete to increase abrasion resistance and reduce dusting.
Typical parameters: R class R9–R10. Exact chemical resistance and operating conditions are specified in the TDS and project requirements.
System layers (bottom to top)
-
Dry-shake topping — first broadcast consumption: ≈ 2–4 kg/m²Broadcasting dry hardener onto fresh concrete before power trowelling.
-
Dry-shake topping — second broadcast consumption: ≈ 1–3 kg/m²Second application of the dry mix to reach the required wear resistance.
-
Protective sealer/varnish (optional) consumption: ≈ 0.1–0.2 l/m²Additional protection and curing care according to the TDS.

Ak Bars Retro Cars exhibition complex, Kazan
Hardened concrete floor for the Ak Bars Retro Cars exhibition complex in Kazan: high loads from exhibits and equipment, no dusting and comfort for visitors.
ART community center, Kazan — Refloor CT-S600 hardened concrete floors for public spaces and parking
The ART community center in Kazan is a multifunctional creative space that hosts exhibitions, workshops and performances, and also includes a parking area. The floors must withstand mixed loads: intensive foot traffic, movement of trolleys and equipment, periodic car traffic, and installation of temporary structures and stages. As a reference, we use a partner project in Russia with Refloor CT-S600 hardened concrete floors (portfolio of the «SMARTBETON» group of companies).
Synergy industrial park, Yelabuga — 260,000 m² of Wiron and Refloor ST-S200 industrial floors
Reference project: the Synergy industrial park in Yelabuga with 260,000 m² of ready-to-use premises for production, offices and warehouses. The floors had to withstand combined loads from equipment and racking, be dust-free and easy to clean, and maintain a neat appearance with constant tenant turnover. Hardened industrial floors based on Wiron dry shake and Refloor ST-S200 mixes were used as the flooring systems.
