English term or phrase: power float concrete
Often, power float concrete floors are regarded as nothing more than aesthetically pleasing. But there are some very practical reasons for choosing a power float finish, such as being extremely hard concrete and easy to clean.

However, the fact that these floors are so silky smooth can be a real problem when it comes to painting or sealing. With no traction to bond with, the concrete floor paint cannot be properly applied. So, what can you do about it?

Now you can maintain your floors with ease, as Watco has created Powerfloat Sealer. A revolutionary new concrete floor sealer that not only seals, dustproofs and protects your concrete floor but removes the need to shot blast your smooth concrete. Simply apply Watco Powerfloat Sealer with a roller to get the perfect shine!

betão afagado


Explanation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_float
A concrete float is a tool used to finish a concrete surface by making it smooth.
...
A float can be a small hand tool, a larger bull float with a long handle, or a power trowel (also called a power float) with an engine.

https://www.engenhariacivil.com/dicionario/pavimento-de-beta...
Um pavimento de betão afagado, comummente designado “cimento afagado” foi obtido por regularização (“afagamento”) cuidadoso da sua superfície, por meios mecânicos ou, tradicionalmente, com colher de pedreiro.

Só complementando, faltou o "power":

power float concrete = betão afagado a máquina, betão afagado por meios mecânicos
