5. APPLICATION METHOD

Stage Description
1. Concrete Pouring Applied on fresh concrete surface.
2. Consistency Check Applied when concrete begins to set (2-3 mm footprint depth).
3. First Application Korunt is evenly spread over the concrete surface.
4. Troweling Worked into the surface with a trowel (first pass ~2/3 of material).
5. Second Application Remaining material is applied as a second pass.
6. Final Finishing Surface is finished with trowels and hand floats.
7. Reinforcement Joint edges and heavy load areas reinforced with extra Korunt.
8. Curing Surface kept moist using appropriate curing methods (7 days).

Application Notes:

  • Application temperature: +5 °C to +30 °C

  • Do not apply in windy or extremely hot conditions

  • Do not apply during rain or excessive humidity

  • Concrete surface must be clean and level before application

10. FIRST AID MEASURES

Exposure Route Action
Inhalation Move to fresh air. If breathing difficulty occurs, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact Wash with plenty of water and soap.
Eye Contact Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion Rinse mouth with water. Drink plenty of water. Seek medical attention.

11. SUMMARY AND CRITICAL WARNINGS

SUMMARY:

Korunt is a mineral-based surface hardener with high aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) content. Its aggregate structure provides high abrasion resistance, impact strength, and dusting protection to concrete surfaces. It offers 4-6 times higher abrasion resistance than normal concrete and compressive strength >70 MPa.

Its most important applications include factories and industrial facilities, garages, parking lots, warehouses, metro stations, helicopter and aircraft runways, and pedestrian paths.

It is applied by spreading on fresh concrete surfaces. Proper application ensures long-lasting and durable surfaces. It complies with TS EN 13813 and ASTM C779 standards.

Key Properties:

Property Value
Main Component Al₂O₃ (85-95%)
Appearance Dark gray/black powder
Density ~2.6 g/cm³
Abrasion Resistance 4-6 times higher
Compressive Strength > 70 MPa
Shelf Life 36 months
Application Method Broadcast on concrete surface

CRITICAL WARNINGS:

  1. Proper Application Timing: Must be applied when concrete begins to set (2-3 mm footprint depth). Early application causes sinking, late application causes adhesion problems.

  2. Weather Conditions: Application temperature must be between +5 °C and +30 °C. Do not apply in windy, extremely hot, rainy, or excessively humid conditions.

  3. Dust Control: Aluminum oxide dust inhalation may cause lung irritation. Use dust masks and adequate ventilation during application.

  4. Joint Edges: Joint edges and heavy load areas must be reinforced with extra Korunt. These areas are subject to the highest abrasion.

  5. Curing Period: Surface must be kept moist for 7 days after application using appropriate curing methods. This is critical for achieving full strength.

  6. Storage: Shelf life is 36 months. Do not store in humid environments; risk of clumping and quality loss.
