Microcement
Rigid
The Rigid Micro is a decorative coating of 2-3 mm thick, recommended for moderate traffic areas such as walls, countertops and floors inside.
Made of a mixture of polymer additives, quality cement, aggregates and fibers, which provides a balance between hardness and adhesion with a little rough finish. It does not require any joints causing sensation of spaciousness and aesthetics, it is also very easy to clean and generates a current and fresh atmosphere.
It is not necessary to remove the existing base as it is polyvalent to any surface and facilitates reform by making it practical and cost effective.

PREPARATION OF THE BASE AND APPLICATION OF THE PRODUCT
Tools: Trowel, spatula, brush, roller, trowel sponge blender.
Yield: Approximately 1.7 to 1.9 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 primer liquid prior microcement recommended in the 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 MicroRigid required.
- Should be sanded between coats and vacuum the dust before an upcoming issue.
- After the last layer applied MicroRigid 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 MicroRigid 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.
