Concrete Effect

PRODUCT DETAILS

Concrete Effect is a composition of a special microcement fibers with polymeric additives and 3 to 4 mm thick. Layers applied by trowel and spatula its result is less porous than conventional concrete and more customizable. Rustic and special finish, imitating the concrete may be applicable at any base, false wall or existing ceiling.

PREPARATION OF THE BASE AND APPLICATION OF THE PRODUCT

Tools: Trowel, spatula, brush, roller, trowel with sponge blender.

Yield: Approximately 1.4 to 1,6 m² / kg by layer depending on the type of base and irregularity.

Preparation of the base:

• The base to be coated must be clean, dry and free of dust and grease.
• The base must be level or smoothed.
• The foundations of concrete or mortar must be completely cured.
• In very porous base liquid prior Concrete Effect de primer recommended in ratio 1 part of component A and 1 part of component B, applied by roller.
• The base tile with a minimum of movement must be pre-treated glass fiber mats or in some cases with resins and aggregates to minimize movements. If the move is significant it is recommended to take the piece and fill flush with elastic mortar.

Product preparation:

• Make a mixture of component “A” dust from 2.9 to 3.2 parts and component “B” liquid to 1 part, always adding to the vessel liquid first and then slowly pouring the powder go without while mixing with propeller until a homogeneous paste is manageable with the flat is made.

Application:

• When the product is to the point trowel and spatula on the surface to be coated.
• The application of 2 layers Concrete Effect required.
• Should be sanded between coats and vacuum the dust before an upcoming issue.
• After the last layer applied Concrete Effect should allow between 12 and 16 hours to proceed to the final cut, then fine should aim reviewing the entire surface with sandpaper defects previously unseen.
• To proceed with the sealing is essential to respect the drying times of Concrete Effect that are 24 hours in walls and floors minimum 36 hours in order to ensure good adhesion, hardness and staining.
• Apply the first coat of sealer with sponge talocha diluting with water at a ratio of 1×1, the following layers of sealant are applied pure, with short nap roller finally wax is applied with a sponge trowel. The type and amount of sealant layers of sealant and wax applied depend spaces or areas to be coated and whether indoors or outdoors. This information is provided by the skilled artisan or by the Technical Instructions.
