Curing dyeing floor is a new type of floor treatment technology, which can form a cured floor with a color pattern on the floor by combining the floor dye and the concrete sealing curing agent. This kind of floor not only has many advantages of traditional cured flooring, such as dust-free sealing, strong and wear-resistant, anti-slip and impermeable, simple maintenance, etc., but also can meet the individual needs of customers for floor color.
At present, there are three main construction schemes for curing and dyeing floors, which are dyeing first and then curing, curing first and then dyeing and curing, and synchronous dyeing and curing. Next, I will conduct a detailed analysis and comparison of these three construction plans to help you better understand and choose a suitable construction plan.
First, dyeing first and then curing
Dyeing before curing is one of the most common construction options. The main steps in this protocol include substrate preparation, dyeing, curing, and polishing.
Base surface treatment: Before dyeing, the base surface needs to be fully treated, including removing curing agents, oil stains, dust, building slurry, wall residues, etc., to ensure that the ground is flat and clean. This step can be done by using a grinder with elastic discs, and it is recommended to use 50-mesh, 100-mesh, and 200-mesh discs for step-by-step sanding.
Dyeing: After the basal surface treatment is completed, the floor dye needs to be evenly applied to the ground. It is recommended to use a spraying tool such as a roller or watering can for dyeing, and the dosage of dyeing is recommended to be 015-0.25 liters squared. During the dyeing process, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is an accumulation of dye material in the low-lying part of the ground, and if so, it should be treated in time.
Curing: After the dyeing is completed, you need to wait for the ground to fully absorb the dye before curing. The curing process can be carried out by using a concrete sealing curing agent.
Polishing: After curing, the ground needs to be polished to increase the gloss and hardness of the ground. During the polishing process, grinding equipment can be used for grinding, sequentially using 500 mesh and 1000 mesh grinding, and if desired, 1500 mesh and 3000 mesh resin grinding stones can also be used for polishing.
2. Curing first and then dyeing
Curing before dyeing is another common construction solution. The main steps in this protocol include substrate preparation, curing, staining, and polishing.
Base surface treatment: Similar to the dyeing and then curing scheme, the curing and dyeing scheme also requires adequate treatment of the substrate, including the removal of curing agents, oil stains, dust, building slurry, wall residues, etc.
Curing: After the base surface treatment is completed, it needs to be cured with a concrete sealing curing agent. During the curing process, it is necessary to ensure uniform penetration and adequate reaction of the curing agent.
Dyeing: After curing, the floor dye needs to be applied evenly to the ground. It is recommended to use a spraying tool such as a roller or watering can for dyeing, and the dosage of dyeing is recommended to be 015-0.25 liters squared. During the dyeing process, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is an accumulation of dye material in the low-lying part of the ground, and if so, it should be treated in time.
Polishing: After the dyeing is completed, the ground needs to be polished to increase the gloss and hardness of the ground. During the polishing process, grinding equipment can be used for grinding, sequentially using 500 mesh and 1000 mesh grinding, and if desired, 1500 mesh and 3000 mesh resin grinding stones can also be used for polishing.
3. Synchronous dyeing and solidification
Synchronous dyeing and curing is a special construction scheme, and the main steps include substrate treatment, simultaneous dyeing and curing, polishing and curing.
Base surface treatment: As with the previous two solutions, the simultaneous dyeing and curing solution also requires adequate treatment of the base surface, including the removal of curing agents, oil stains, dust, construction slurry, wall residues, etc.
Synchronous dyeing and curing: After the base surface treatment is completed, the floor stain and concrete sealing curing agent need to be mixed in a certain proportion, and then evenly applied to the ground. It is recommended to use a spraying tool such as a roller or watering can for dyeing and curing, and the dosage is recommended to be 015-0.25 liters squared. During the construction process, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is a build-up of dyes and curing agents in the low-lying parts of the ground, and if there is, it should be treated in time.
Polishing: After the synchronous dyeing and curing is completed, the ground needs to be polished to increase the gloss and hardness of the ground. During the polishing process, grinding equipment can be used for grinding, sequentially using 500 mesh and 1000 mesh grinding, and if desired, 1500 mesh and 3000 mesh resin grinding stones can also be used for polishing.
Curing: After polishing, the ground needs to be cured to fully cure the floor dye and concrete sealing curing agent. During the maintenance period, the passage of people and vehicles should be avoided to ensure the full solidification of the ground.
To sum up, the three construction schemes have their own advantages and disadvantages. The dyeing and curing scheme performed well in terms of dyeing effect and dye penetration, but it was necessary to wait for the dye to be fully absorbed before curing. The curing and dyeing before dyeing scheme is opposite to the dyeing before curing scheme in the curing and dyeing sequence, which is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for curing effect. The simultaneous dyeing and curing scheme can complete the dyeing and curing at the same time during the construction process, saving application time, but requiring strict control of the dyeing agent and curing.
