Hi Derek. Another thing you can try is a two step terrazzo conditioning process developed by national chemical lab in Philadelphia. Start with Rock hard solution and then go to Patina. It is put down with a hogs hair pad. They use this on all the newer Wawa convenience stores around here  as a maintenance plan. It gives a nice sheen without being very glossy and I believe doesn't need to be stripped.

derek , i would also look at the waterbased sealer from American Decorative Concrete..i think it is called Stain Blocker, its the exterior version, its  pretty low sheen and gives a good build. I also used the Decra Seal from WR Meadows and its not super high gloss either...both are around 30% solids, and you spray it down with a fan tip, then back roll..gives a good build and it levels out nicely.

I'm preparing for epoxy based terrazzo restoration in high end cafeteria and the specs are to apply matte or satin topical sealer after honing.
i checked with lots of terrazzo suppliers and everybody have only hi-gloss sealer or matte finishes that are two components and difficult to apply.
Any of you have used or would recommend any product that is compatible with all the above?

Looks like currently it is white cement. I think I would trust that more.

Mike,
Portland cement or regular grout with the latex will give you good results but I think the pre-colored grouts will give you a better variety of colors.
Not sure what you can get down under but we have a good range off white grouts that work well.

Thanks guys. Do you think white cement will bond better than white grout?
