Try Idealwork, http://www.idealwork.com they manufacture a range of microtoppings, and give a complete specification,these products are available in the U.K
I would recommend contacting Elite Crete Systems, Inc. http://www.elitecrete.com as they have some of the best products out there. It can be applied from 3 mm to as thick as you want. There's a permanent bond created using their system and you have too many to list color and texture choices. Prep is straight forward and you don't have to let the concrete dry before making application. In fact the concrete needs to be wet to achieve chemical bond.
Good stuff! and always my first recommendation.
I should also add that most systems sell for $20 - $60 per sq. meter with low product costs and good profit potential for installers.

hi iv just lost a job due to extreme heat.. the method is -which can be applied from 8mm up to 30mm..make sure slab is super clean- a light wash with brick acid and then pressure wash off. Let dry and apply sikadur 32 epoxy primer from sika. This has an open time of 4 hrs. Costs about £180 for 50 metres worth..but dnt cut corners its worth every penny.While still wet apply your topping mix which is a washed sand with plenty of cement and an sbr additive-availiable from creative impressions for about £80.00(they will also give sand / mix / cement ratios)..Mix to consistency of rendering mix and lay down mix with a mag trowel. Apply colour hardener and close up with steel trowel. Apply release and print as normal. The strength of mix is unreal. Pull up tests say it can withstand 650lb per square inch! Tip- cut into slab around edges with small angle grinder to create slots- adhesive will pour in and create an even stronger bond.Also if you wanted you could add fibres to mix for added strength..this will take cars and traffic wear all day long... good luck.....hope it helps you out.
Can anyone provide the method for placing a thin (max 30-40mm) bonded concrete overlay floor over an existing old concrete surface. The aim is to use 'normal' ie. not bagged-modified (expensive) products to produce a new aesthetic concrete surface which may be ground and polished or burnished with a power float. I have been told it is quite possible to achieve this , but cant seem to find a spec. for the method. I believe an SBR cement slurry is used to assist the bond??
