Abstract
A method for producing a printed concrete element, in particular a printed concrete block, a printed concrete slab or a printed concrete step, is described, comprising at least the following steps: filling concrete into a mold to form a concrete element; printing at least one surface area of the concrete element with a printing composition comprising a binder A and a dye B, the binder A containing at least one siloxane and at least one silane; and curing the concrete element after printing.
Claims31
A method for producing a printed concrete element comprising the steps:
- (a) filling a mold with concrete to form a concrete element, the formation of which creating one or more surfaces of the concrete element;
- (b) printing at least one surface of the concrete element with a printing composition in a single step, the printing composition comprising a binder A and a dye B, wherein the binder A comprises at least one siloxane and at least one silane, wherein the siloxane is a condensed, pre-crosslinked silicone resin, and wherein the printing composition flows onto the surface of the concrete element at least partially in a vertical direction relative to an outer surface of the concrete element before curing of the concrete element;
- and
- (c) curing the concrete element after printing, wherein the at least one silane of the binder A gels while curing the concrete element to provide adhesion of the printing composition to the concrete element.
