Color chart AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART
AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART is available in 12 different standard colors.
Surfaces
The supports where AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART is applied must be smooth, resistant and clean, free of dust, grease and any material that hinders adherence.
For a correct application of AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART, it is necessary to have a hard support, without movement or expansion. If the supports are in poor condition, or with joints, such as tiles, you have to repair the imperfect areas and apply two coats of AQUA BASE CIMENTART.
AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART can be applied on interior and exterior walls and floors and on many supports such as:
- AQUA BASE, Koncret Base or traditional Base Microcement CIMENTART.
- Paint.
- Cement and plaster.
- Wood and Plasterboard.
- Tile, ceramic and porcelain, marble and granite (previously regularized with any microcement Base from CIMENTART).
Supports preparation
If the support where you are going to carry out the application the AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART is not regularized (or in the case of ceramic, porcelain, marble or tile walls), which have 0.1 mm joints, you need to apply a PRIMER CIMENTART layer, to create adhesion, and regularize the supports with the necessary layers of AQUA BASE CIMENTART, until it has a completely smooth and uniform support. Then proceed to the application of AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART.
If the application is going to be done on completely smooth supports, directly apply a layer of PRIMER CIMENTART and start the application with AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART.
Instructions for use
Open the container and mix very well with a spatula or mixer for paints, until the paste is completely homogeneous. Apply 2 to 3 coats, as needed, with a maximum thickness of 0.5 mm each layer, until obtaining the desired continuous finish.
The thickness of 0.1 mm is achieved with the steel trowel inclined at 45° and exerting a certain pressure when applying the product. This product should never be applied in thicker 0.5 mm layers.
On very dry substrates, the surface where we will apply AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART, can be lightly moistened with water with the help of a diffuser spray, without flooding the areas. This process can also be done between layers.
All layers must be applied with short, semicircular movements.
If you want to get an effect or veins similar to marble, leave some imperfection in the first layer and let it dry completely. Once you apply the second layer, exert a certain pressure on the steel trowel when you are making the application.
If you want to leave a more clean and homogeneous finish, sand very well between coats with 100 to 150 grit sandpaper and clean the powder well before applying the next coat.
The thickness of these layers should never be more than 0.5 mm thick.
Seal the AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART
AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART is a waterproof product, but that does not mean that it can not be stained when you walk on, with detergents, lime, etc. if it is not protected.
Remove the sanding dust in the last layer, with a vacuum cleaner.
Apply a layer of SEALER CIMENTART over the entire surface of AQUA MICROCONCRETE CIMENTART, with a microfiber roller, covering the entire surface and waiting for to dry completely.
Once the SEALER CIMENTART has been applied and completely dry, to achieve total waterproofing and protection, apply, using a micro-fiber roller, a layer of CIMENTART Bi-component Polyurethane, covering the whole surface well, with great attention to corners or areas that can receive direct water, as in the case of shower drains or sink.
Once this layer is dry, always apply a second layer of CIMENTART Bi-component Polyurethane in the same way.
Cautions
If you need to dilute the product with water to obtain a more fluid concrete for application, do not exceed a maximum of 5% dissolution.
Never apply the product on substrates that are wet, damp or have capillary moisture. Do not apply the product if there is humidity in the environment of more than 50%.
Do not apply in layers greater than 0.1 mm.
Do not apply with risk of frost or rainy weather. Do not apply at temperatures below 5ºC or above 35ºC.
Never leave the last layer in half, once begun continue until its completion without stoppages, so that you do not see imperfections or joints. If the surface is very large, the application must be made by several people at the same time.
Furniture should never be placed where the legs finish is: pointed, rounded, with rigid plastic protectors, etc... the entire weight is concentrated in a single point and can mark the micro-cement.
The legs of chairs, tables or furniture must have a wide and straight termination and must always have protective felts placed. All rigid plastic leg protectors should ALWAYS be removed. A protective felt must be placed.
Completely avoid the dragging of furniture, appliances or other objects or tools on a Microcement pavement.
The cleaning of the tool used is done with water.
