When can the floor be used after the RetroPlateTM process is complete?
The floor can be used immediately. There is no drying or waiting time. • When will the floor be fully “cured”, or “mature”? Answer: As soon as the RetroPlateTM application is finished, the floor will be completely abrasion resistant, dust proof, and polished. The sealing process, however, is a combination of a chemical and mechanical reaction. The mechanical process will be complete and the floor will be much easier to clean. The chemical reaction within the concrete will continue for several months. It is important to keep the floor cleaned during this curing phase, as the floor is becoming densified from within. • Is the RetroPlateTM System a coating? Answer: No. The RetroPlateTM System is a chemical and mechanical reaction with the concrete itself. When the application is finished, the concrete is still bare, but it has gone through a chemical and mechanical process to protect, harden, and polish the surface. The beauty of the RetroPlate System is that the concrete is protected and
