About DIPOC ContractingAbout DIPOC ContractingOver the course of the past year, we have

successfully polished over 2,000,000 (yes, that’s TWO MILLION) square feet of concrete.

We began operations nearly a decade ago as general contractors.

Due to our difficulty in finding truly professional, high-quality concrete polishing services, we shifted

the focus of our business to provide the best possible polishing service available, so as to fill that void and meet the demand of this growing industry. We are currently assisting in developing and/or

modifying the floor specifications for companies including, but not limited to: Abuelo’s, AutoZone, Dollar Tree, Home Depot, Lowes, Office Depot,

Target, Toyota Mfg., Wal-Mart, and Whole Foods.

Benefits & SafetyBenefits & Safety

Our floor, properly maintained, does not require waxing or resurfacing.

Our methods and products are OSHA and USDA approved.

There are no volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) created during application or

cleaning. A 20 year dust proofing warranty may be

available from the manufacturer.

ReflectivityReflectivity

A high gloss surface will be more appealing to your staff and/or customers.The higher reflectivity will make the

apparent ambient light appear noticeably brighter.

By reflecting and redirecting light from the traditional overhead sources, you will

achieve a brighter facility, at no additional cost.

You may even lower your current lighting costs, if you are able to adjust the wattage

of your existing lighting sources.As the next group of slides show, under

optimal conditions, we can achieve outstanding reflectivity from our finished

product.They are included as examples of what may be achieved, with proper preparation

and procedural care.

Maintenance and Maintenance and CleaningCleaningWe will gladly assist in determining the

proper maintenance system for your finished floor.

Floor mats at all entries and exits are highly recommended, so as to reduce the amount of outside dirt transferred onto the

floor. Never use bleach or any other harsh

chemicals on floors.

Maintenance and Maintenance and CleaningCleaning

(cont’d)(cont’d)Regular vacuuming and mopping (with clean water and a standard cloth mop)

should be sufficient for general cleaning.Should you elect to use something other

than water, we recommend using non-abrasive, neutral cleaners.

Training of your personnel can be arranged, if necessary.

Timeline & Slab FactorsTimeline & Slab FactorsThe concrete should be allowed to cure for a minimum

of 28 days before our process commences. The rate of the surface preparation, polishing, and sealing process can range from 1,000 to 20,000 sq. ft. per day, depending upon the condition of the concrete,

interior obstructions, and other concurrent activities.Specific factors involved are the cleanliness of

concrete, slab condition (joints, cuts, holes, etc.), and overall smoothness of the slab.

In the interest of efficiency of operations, as well as overall quality of finished result, it is preferable that we be allowed to perform the polishing procedure prior to

the erection of any interior walls and/or other obstructions.

What We Believe You What We Believe You WantWant

Our initial assumption is that you desire a finished floor that will have, and retain, a

high gloss shine for many years.The floor should be non-abrasive, yet also

not slippery. It should be as impervious to staining as

is possible.This floor should require minimal

maintenance beyond simple wet mopping.

What We Can Do For YouWhat We Can Do For You We have considered your wants, needs, and

expectations very carefully.We understand that there are numerous factors

to be considered on your end (timing & budget, for example).

We wish to affirm that we can deliver a floor finish which will easily meet, and may possibly

even exceed, your expectations. As a starting point, we will clarify the “ideal” conditions necessary to give you the “perfect”

floor.

Ideal Slab ConditionsIdeal Slab Conditions

• We wish to state that we realize it may be difficult to start with these “ideal”

conditions.

• We are listing them in the interest of clarity and consistency of understanding between

us.

• Clearly, the density and finish of the initial slab is of paramount importance.

Ideal Slab ConditionsIdeal Slab Conditions(cont’d)(cont’d)

• “Smoothness” is possibly the single most important factor affecting the final level of

shine and reflectivity.

• This is an objectively measurable value based on the FF-50/FL-35 specification.

• Other factors to consider are slump, the quality of any cuts and/or joints, and the

finishing technique of the paste layer.

Ideal Slab ConditionsIdeal Slab Conditions(cont’d)(cont’d)

• Insofar as is possible, we need to begin with a flat, level slab.

• If we are able to start with a slab which is as smooth and defect free as possible, we

can minimize the grinding process, thus devoting our time and effort more toward

the finishing and polishing process.• “Defect free” means that there are as few

surface imperfections (divots, ridges, high/low spots, etc.) as possible.

Ideal Slab ConditionsIdeal Slab Conditions(cont’d)(cont’d)

• It is preferable that no other sealers or bond breakers are applied to the surface

prior to the commencement of our process.

• Should such treatments be necessary, they should not be excessively applied.

• We wish to specify what we consider to be “excessive” application.

Ideal Slab ConditionsIdeal Slab Conditions(cont’d)(cont’d)

• Any sealers or bond breakers should be applied in accordance with their

manufacturer’s instructions.• If there is pooling and/or uneven coverage,

usually indicated by noticeably darker areas, we deem this to be excessive and

problematic to our process.

• This “excess” will affect the consistency of color in the final result.

New Product New Product DevelopmentDevelopment

There are new polishing machines and sealing systems appearing in the industry.

We are constantly striving to stay abreast of these new developments.

We now have access to equipment and procedures which can provide a durable, high gloss, low maintenance floor which we could guarantee to last 10 years, or

more.

of Concrete Polishingof Concrete Polishing Grinding & polishing conditions the hardest, most abrasion resistant, part of concrete – the

surface. This surface will then be hardened & enhanced

through a chemical densification process. The resultant abrasion resistance & hardness of

the finished surface is directly proportional to the concrete mix, placement & finishing quality, as

well as the length of curing time.

Densification ProcedureDensification ProcedureThis chart shows the various steps in the DIPOC

(DIamond POlished Concrete) Process.

Densification Procedure Densification Procedure (cont’d)(cont’d)

o Proper application procedure and quantity of reactant absorption is the most important step of

the densification process.o When able, we take the extra time for a

complete chemical reaction to assure the most complete degree of densification.

o Additional stain-resistant, non-film forming sealers may also be applied.

o Further stain protection may be achieved through the application of additional sealers.

Sealer PropertiesSealer Properties

As the next slide indicates, there are different types and capabilities of sealers and/or densifiers available to provide the

highest quality finished product.The following slide shows an example of

one such product.

We believe that we understand what your desired and expected result is for your finished

floor.We have enumerated and detailed the factors

involved in delivering to you that result.By adhering as closely as is possible to the conditions we have listed, we feel that we can

provide you with a harder, denser surface, yielding a higher gloss, longer lasting final finish,

while also realizing significant savings on maintenance and cleaning costs.

Idealistic Versus RealisticIdealistic Versus Realistic(cont’d)(cont’d)

We can provide you with as high a quality flooring finish as you desire to have.

However, we realize that there are always practical issues to consider, such as time (which

translates to money) available for the procedures so as to achieve the level of quality

that you desire.It is our intention that our “ideal” conditions will

serve as a springboard for arriving at a predictable, consistent specification standard,

which will be acceptable to us both.

Idealistic Versus RealisticIdealistic Versus Realistic(cont’d)(cont’d)

We are confident that we can establish a procedure for concrete floor finishing, which will provide you with a long lasting, high gloss, low

maintenance, quality finish that will last for many years.

If you desire it, a DIPOC agent will gladly coordinate with your general contractor, so as to insure that all parties involved are of one mind as to the desired end result and how best to

achieve it.
