What Is VDF?
VDF Flooring or Vacuum Dewatered Flooring or Tremix Flooring is a system for laying high quality concrete floors where the key is Dewatering of Concrete by Vacuum Process wherein surplus water from the concrete is removed immediately after placing and vibration, thereby reducing the water cement ratio to the optimum level.
VDF Flooring or Vacuum Dewatered Flooring or Tremix Flooring increases the Compressive Strength, Tensile Strength, and Abrasion Resistance and minimizes the Shrinkage and Floor Wraps. VDF Flooring results in High Strength, Longer Life, Better Finish and Faster Work. This type of floor is suitable for high abrasion & heavy traffic movement.
Advantages of VDF
- Increased Compressive strength by more than 50%
- Reduced Cement consumption by more than 30% as no cement is required separately for finishing.
- Increased Abrasion resistance by more than 50%
- Increased wear resistance
- Minimum dusting & crack formation
- Minimum dry and plastic shrinkage and floor wraps
- Uniform homogeneous floor with High flatness accuracy
- Lower water permeability due to increased density.
- High early strength minimizes damage on newly cast floors
- Earlier utilization and Reduced maintenance cost
Typical application area of vdf flooring
- Warehouses, Godowns
- Roads, Sports Courts
- Factories, Car Parking Areas
- Production Areas
- Pharmaceutical Companies
- As the base floor for Epoxy & PU Floorings
