MICROCEMENTO ACABADO

The ideal application temperature is between 5 and 30º C. This range must be maintained for the first 72 hours. Try not to apply in temperatures above 35º C to avoid the product drying out too quickly.

The materials must be prepared so that their temperature is within the temperature range specified above. If the Microcement Finish is very warm due to indirect sunlight, this could lead to problems due to loss of workability and premature setting.

Changes in ambient temperature during application also change the material's setting and drying times.

Preparing the mix:

Pour the 12kg bag of Microcement Finish onto the 5kg of resin that has already been transferred to the 15L container that comes with Microcement Finish in powder form. Add it little by little and beat slowly using a mechanical stirrer until you are left with a uniform, lump-free paste.

Apply in thin layers using a steel trowel. Apply 2 to 3 layers depending on the application, leaving 1 to 2 hours between coats until you achieve the desired effect. (This time may be adjusted up or down, depending on the environmental conditions at the time of application)Coverage per coat 0.

5kg/m2, in thin layers no thicker than 0.

2mm.

TOTAL coverage: 1-2kg/m2We recommend using a plastic/rubber trowel for applying Microcement Finish in white or very light colours.

After 24 hrs, lightly sand the entire surface with 400 sandpaper. Clean up all the dust produced.

Apply a protective layer of whatever varnish is recommended depending on the use of the surface.

To correctly apply the previously mentioned varnishes, consult the Fact Sheets. If using POLYURETHANES, apply an initial layer of the most sealant finish (Acripol Gloss Varnish) as a FIXER. To do this, dilute the product between 40-100% according to the porousness of the base, then top with the desired finish: Matte, Satin or Gloss. For water-based varnishes, prior to their application seal the surface with Fijamont Acqua diluted by 50% to avoid crazing and unaesthetic cavities.

Polyurethane varnishes are recommended for high-transit flooring and on surfaces in direct contact with water (inside showers). For these uses, first apply the finish that seals best (Acripol Gloss varnish) and then end with the desired finish: Matt, Satin or Gloss.

The Acripol range of polyurethanes are solvent-based, and if they are to be used indoors, safety standards must be followed and the corresponding PPE (personal protective equipment) must be worn.

The Microcement Varnish Range is developed specifically as a system finish under normal conditions, it is water-based and provides a strong and decorative finish.

We do not recommend the use of products not tested or suggested in this system as we cannot guarantee the result.

Colour Product that can be coloured using the Montomix Tintometric System. The colour is added to the Microcement Resin, which will be mixed onsite with Microcement Finish. You do not need to colour Microcement Base. The system is optimised to reproduce the colours on the chart, mixing the specified amounts of Microcement Finish + Microcement Resin. Altering the amounts of colouring stated in the formula is not recommended.

The varnish selected has a considerable impact on the intensity of the colour. Making colours other than those described in our Tintometric System is not recommended.

Montó Microcement Finish is not recommended for base surfaces that contain water such as swimming pools, tanks or baths.
