Polished Concrete- The Definition
Bonded Abrasive Polished Concrete- The processing of the concrete
surface through means of mechanical and chemical processes that uses a
bonded abrasive medium and chemical densifier where each step is refined to its
purest possible form on a microscopic level from one progressively finer abrasive
to the next until the desired level of “polish” is achieved. The chemical densifier
reacts with the calcium hydroxide in concrete to form a crystalline structure in the
pores of the concrete by which hardening the surface of the concrete. Bonded
abrasive polished concrete has the clarity of reflection when looking straight
down overhead, a high gloss finish and the maximum durability the surface will
allow. The clarity will depend on the final abrasive grit; polishing steps are
multiple and finish with 800 grit.

Diamond Tooling Review
Metal Bond Tooling
• Diamond Chips set within metal Matrix
• When metal wears away from being dragged across
concrete it exposes diamonds. Diamonds slowly
release themselves from the metal and create a
“scratch” in the concrete as they are dragged.
• Grit Sizes are available from16 grit to 400 Grit. The
lower the number the larger the diamond chip.
