KingShake C100®
Pre-blended quartz dry shake floor topping.
SpecWorld has the Spec Pack, CSI specification and drawings for registered specifiers.
Overview
KingShake C100 is a quartz based, chemically inert, dry shake floor topping for monolithic floors. The product contains a blend of specially graded aggregates, additives and Ordinary Cements.
When trowelled into freshly laid concrete, KingShake C100 produces a dense, tough, abrasion resistant surface suitable for most industrial floors.
Where to use
- Parking areas.
- Warehouses.
- Workshops.
- Service stations.
- Aircraft hangars.
Why use it
- Highly resistant to wearing and abrasion.
- Reduces surface dust.
- Premixed, ready to use.
- Can be applied by hand, or using automatic spreading equipment.
- Coloured versions contain a high quality, durable pigment.

Standards and approvals

BASE CONCRETE LIMITATIONS
The following concrete limitations and properties should be considered to obtain hard concrete surface with high abrasion resistance:
- The compressive strength is recommended to be higher than 25 MPa.
- W/C ratio should be at a minimum required value to achieve fully compacted concrete.
- Concrete slump should be kept between 75 mm and 120 mm.
- Cement content should be no less than 300 kg/m³.
- Proper concrete compaction and leveling is a must.
- Should free water be present at the surface this should be allowed to evaporate or brushed away before the application of KingShake C100.
How to use
Method of use
- The right time to spread the KingShake C100 on concrete surface is when light foot traffic leaves an imprint of about 3 - 6 mm.
- Broacast the KingShake C100 evenly over the surface of the base concrete. Where manual trowelling is involved, application in two stages is recommended. The first stage should be to apply two thirds of the coverage rate of KingShake C100, and allow the material to absorb moisture form concrete. When a uniform dark colour appears, indicating that the material is wet, KingShake C100 should be trowelled in, either by hand or using a power float (pan fitted with blades). Stage two is to apply the remainder of the coverage rate and to repeat trowelling. For large floor constructions KingShake C100 can be spread and trowelled satisfactorily in one stage by mechanical means.
- Care must be taken not to wet the application of KingShake C100 with water addition not to affect the overall quality of the floor.
- Proper curing should be maintained and the surface is not to be marred by the curing method.
TIMING OF APPLICATION
Timing of KingShake C100 application is critical. Adequate machinery, labour and material should be available to complete the whole area while sufficient concrete moisture is available. Applying KingShake C100 before or after the proper application time can seriously affect the quality of the concrete floor finish.
APPLICATION RATE
Recommended application rates are as follows: Normal rate 3 - 5 kg/m².
Heavy duty floors 5 - 7 kg/m².
Cleaning
All equipments and tools should be rinsed with water immediately after use.
Coverage, packaging and storage
Packaging
KingShake C100 is available in 25 kg bags.
Storage
Shelf life is 1 year when stored under cover, out of direct sunlight and protected from extremes of temperature.
