For cement-bound terrazzo it is commonly between 0.3% and 0.6%. For resin-bound terrazzo it is effectively nil, because the binder is the resin rather than a cement matrix. That difference decides whether a material can go in a wet room, which is why the binder is named in every figure this site publishes. Full answer

It depends which grade you are buying, because the Chinese standard grades it: 8.0% or less for standard terrazzo, 6.0% for high-performance, 4.0% for cement artificial stone, and 1.0% for the high-performance version of that. Absorption is the figure that decides whether you seal, and how often.
