HTC Superfloor ™

Concrete is the most commonly used construction material because of the many
benefits it offers. Among these are strength, durability, a long lifespan, affordability, environmentally friendly, and it is recyclable.

HTC Superfloor™, the industry leader in high production concrete grinders and polishing equipment combined with high efficiency dust extracting systems and state of the art dry diamond tooling technology, has developed a unique diamond grinding process, HTC Superfloor™.

This process utilizes an innovative grinding and polishing system which includes both metal bond and resin bond diamonds to bring out the natural beauty in your concrete floors. HTC Superfloor™ produces a highly reflective finish that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but reduces maintenance costs and increases durability. HTC Superfloor™ can also polish in a variety of environmentally friendly colors.

What makes HTC Superfloor™ the Best?
Because it is more functional, ecological and economical than the other processes.

Functional
 
  • Dense, polished surface helps protect against absorption of oil and other contaminants
  • Resists tire marks from fork trucks and other traffic
  • Harder and stronger than other floor finishes
  • 40% more abrasion resistant than unfinished concrete
  • 20% increase in impact resistance than unfinished concrete
  • 30% increase in ambient light reflection from unfinished concrete
  • Flatter, more level surface
  • OSHA recommends that you achieve a static coefficient of friction (SCOF) of 0.5 for polished surfaces - HTC SCOF wet: .50 and dry: .58
  • Easily adds color to existing concrete during the HTC Superfloor™ process
Ecological
 
  • Dry, dust-free grind filters out 99.9% of all airborne dust
  • No VOC’s
  • No coating, urethane, waxes or topical coatings applied
  • No slurry
  • No protective gear, such as ear plugs, masks, or retardant proof clothing necessary
  • New water-based dyes for environmentally friendly coloring
Economical
 
  • Lower initial costs compared to most other floor coverings
  • No down time waiting on chemical processes to cure
  • One-time application with minimal maintenance
  • Lower maintenance costs with less wear on cleaning equipment and consumables
  • Long life cycle of 5-10 years

Our Precision Process is the Superfloor™ Difference
The HTC Superfloor™ process consists of seven basic steps of mechanical grinding and polishing. Depending on the current condition of the floor, the process may require more steps, or even less. The first three steps prepare the floor by flattening and leveling it using metal bond diamond grindings. These steps are crucial to ensure proper finishing and safety standards. The last four steps use resin bond diamonds for polishings. These steps seal the floor and polish it to a matte, satin or glossy finish. HTC’s VOC compliant polishing method brings out the natural strength and beauty of concrete - without harming the environment.

Basic Stages of the HTC Superfloor™ Process
Stage 1
A rough grind removes old dirt and coatings from the concrete		 Stage 2
Two progressively finer grinds refine the rough floor to a flat, level surface		 Stage 3
The floor is treated with an impregnator to prepare it for diamond polishing		 Stage 4
Polishing uses specially designed Superfloor™ diamond tool with agressively finer abrasion		 Stage 5
Final polishing brings floor to a durable, high-gloss finish

Low & Simple Maintenance
HTC Superfloor™ is resistant to tire marks and other contaminants, therefore the floor only needs a light cleaning from time to time and the periodic use of TWISTER Diamond Cleaning System. HTC Superfloor™ never requires harsh chemicals to clean or strip the surface like some other processes. Over a 20 year period, Superfloor™ costs a fraction of what vinyl, tile or coatings cost to maintain.

Cleaning and Maintaining a Superfloor

1. Sweep

 Every day, sweep the floor with a dust mop or fine bristle broom to remove surface debris such as sand and dirt that may scratch the surface.
2.Clean Dilute Superfloor™ Cleaner as directed and apply to the surface using a mop or use a TWISTER Diamond Cleaning System by HTC with an autoscrubber.
3. Restore Extensive traffic or poor maintenance practices may cause polished concrete to lose some of its luster. Restore the floor’s original shine with a simple re-polish using the last grit or resin diamond or by using the TWISTER Diamond Cleaning System by HTC.
4. Protect Provide an extra level of protection by applying a fine layer of HTC Superfloor™ Stainguard with a wax applicator or airless pump sprayer.
