RETRO PLATE
The Patented Floor Finishing System

A Permanent Floor Finish
for Concrete and Cement Terrazzo

The Retro Plate System turns bare concrete or terrazzo into a highly abrasion resistant, water repellant, dust proof surface that is easy to clean, and has a permanent marble-like shine. This unique patented system is designed for both new and existing floors. Using Retro Plate on a new floor will create a beautiful, maintenance friendly floor from the day the doors are opened. At an existing facility, Retro Plate can make the floor better than new. Whether it is used on concrete or cement terrazzo, RetroPlate will create a masterpiece that is unequaled.

BENEFITS

Abrasion Resistance:
The Retro Plate System increases the abrasion resistance by up to 400% (ASTM C779). As a surface treatment, RetroPlate provides the greatest increase in strength at the top of the floor and allows for unmatched abrasion resistance.

Water Repellency:
The Retro Plate System chemically and mechanically locks up the pores at the surface of the floor. This densification process inhibits the penetration of water, oils, and other contaminants.

Eliminates Dusting:
Retro Plate closes off the surface of the floor and locks in the concrete salts, thus keeping the surface from dusting. This dramatically reduces maintenance costs by keeping equipment, machinery, and finished manufactured products free of concrete dust.

Marble-like Shine:
With the Retro Plate System, three levels of shine are provided. Level 1 is a matte finish, providing a light shine, which increases over time with traffic and regular scrubbing. Level 2 is a high gloss shine with a good degree of reflectivity. Level 3 is a marble-like shine, increasing the reflectivity by at least 30%. Each level provides ease of maintenance and will increase the floor's resistance to scratching or wear.

Ease of Maintenance:
By creating a smooth, dust free surface, maintenance is reduced dramatically. Tire marks are eliminated. A national eye care manufacturer claims that the Retro Plate System has reduced their maintenance by 90%.

Increases Floor Hardness:
Testing shows that the Retro Plate System increases the floor’s impact resistance by 21% (ASTM C805).

Durability:
A Retro Plate floor has no adverse effects from ultraviolet light or water spray (ASTM G23-81). The RetroPlate System creates a durable floor that withstands traffic, abrasion, and daily abuse.

Additional Safety Features:
The Retro Plate System removes dangerous joint lippage. Although imparting a beautiful shine, RetroPlate does not create a slippery floor. The RetroPlate System is environmentally safe, non flannable, odorless and containing no solvents or volitile organic compounds. We are proud to provide you with a completely green and environmentally friendly floor finishing system.

In the beginning, the Retro Plate System was created to restore and enhance existing concrete surfaces, but its wide acceptance and ability to create a showpiece out of old, worn out concrete quickly caused owners to began specifying it for new concrete as well. The Retro Plate System is a complete process that can revitalize and strengthen concrete and cement terrazzo floors. Dusty, worn, porous concrete is converted into dense concrete which inhibits water, oil, and other contaminants from penetrating into the surface. Weak concrete is strengthened, becoming up to 400% more abrasion resistant and 25% more impact resistant.
The Retro Plate System provides a permanent solution to floor problems, creating floor surfaces that never require replacement, re-application, re-coating, or waxing. Routine and proper cleaning is all that is required to maintain a smooth, dense, reflective floor. Old coatings can be removed, wax can be stripped, and rough, dusting, staining concrete can be ground smooth.
