MICROCEMENT BASE

- Environmental conditions:

     - It is recommended, especially indoors, that there be air renewal.
     - Ambient temperature: 5-35 ºC - RH ? 75%.
     - This range must be maintained during the first 72 hours.
     - Substrate temperature ? 8ºC and 3ºC above the dew point. Essential to avoid condensation.
     - Variations in ambient temperature during the application process also alter the setting and drying times of the material. Below 20ºC, the drying time increases.

- Preparation of the mixture:

     - In the empty bucket included in the pack, pour the previously shaken MICROCEMENT RESIN TR. The proportion is 15 Kg Part A (Powder) + 5 Kg Part B (Resin TR)
     - Sprinkle little by little and beat by mechanical stirring until obtaining a homogeneous paste free of lumps.

-Application conditions:

     - Apply with a steel trowel with rounded edges, in thin layers, 2 to 3 layers depending on the application, leaving 2 to 3 hours between coats, until a smooth and level surface is achieved.
     - The recommended thickness per layer will be between 0.6 mm - 1.00 mm.
     - On floors and tiles, use fiberglass mesh.
               - Consumption per coat: 1 Kg / m2 (approx 0.7 mm thick). (15 A + 5 B for 20 m2)
               - Total consumption: 2-3 Kg / m2 (1-2 mm thick). (15 A + 5 B for 5 - 10 m2)

- End use:

     - After 24 hours, we can sand if we have imperfections, with a 120/180 sandpaper.
     - We perfectly clean the dust generated.
     - Optimal mechanical properties are reached after 28 days.
     - If the use is as BASE, continue with MICROCEMENT Floors or Walls.
     - If the use is as a decorative rustic finish, continue with Microcement SEALER.
     - The MICROCEMENT Ó deco system is not recommended for liquid containment supports, such as swimming pools, tanks or bathtubs.

- On the Microcement PRIMER ABS or N-ABS suitable in each case.

Partitions and joints:

- The position of the expansion joints must be made to coincide with those previously existing in the base that acts as a support.
- The use of a fiberglass mesh as a reinforcing mesh will allow us to create surfaces without partitions or joints. Its use is always essential when the application is carried out on tiles and floors.
- For large areas of application, plan well the work of each cloth and mixture to be carried out each day, to avoid unsightly encounters in the application.
