Darek,did you call Glaze and seal they have a couple of pretty decent acrylic easy to apply low gloss sealers.They are quite durable as well.Also Joncrete(johnsondiversey) has a matte finish acrylic sealer that is worth looking at.Its for concrete but I am sure it will work on epoxy terrazzo.You might also want to give sparks southwest a call -they can tell you how to dilute one of their sealers to a matte finish by adding water to it. Good Luck.

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.

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?On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 9:41 PM, Michael Marsoun <nulifesc@bigpond.com> wrote:
Looks like currently it is white cement. I think I would trust that more.

Subject: RE: [sccpartners] Terrazzo tilesMike,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.On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 7:56 PM, Michael Marsoun <nulifesc@bigpond.com> wrote:Thanks guys. Do you think white cement will bond better than white grout?
