In this process high slump concrete (highly flowing concrete) is poured in to the rubber moulds and compacted in vibro forming vibrating tables. The moulds with green concrete are kept for initial strength gaining for 8 - 12 hours over flat plate. Then the
cast concrete tiles are stripped out from the rubber moulds.This wet tiles are tiles then kept controlled atmosphere for 3 days
for further strength gaining. Polyurethane or varnish coatings can be applied for added attractiveness & wear resistance.
By handling carefully the rubber moulds can be reused more than 300 times other washing.
Attractive long lasting colour faces can be formed by pouring white cement concrete with colour pigments first and then regular
gray concrete next, economicailly with two layers.
The high slump face concrete mix is to be mixed in separate exclusive tile mixer. The base great concrete mix can
be mixed with another title mixer or regular drum type concrete mixer.
Any architectural design (natural stone,wood grains etc.) can be duplicated in the tile face with the rubber moulds.The tiles of
various thickness with colour & design add attrective long lasting richness to interior floorings and wall face.
