Product Detail:
Micro-toppings have a fine consistency.
They are
available in white or natural gray and are forgiving
and easy to apply.
The most common uses are
countertops, or floors where an acid stain is
desired, when the concrete itself is too abused to
allow for a pristine surface.
Apply Micro-topping over cement-board (hardybacker) to create a simple concrete countertop.
A quick trowel
application of a Micro-topping creates a surface
perfectly suitable for staining.
Excellent adhesion and weathering resistance.
Long wearing under traffic.
Resists ultra-violet degradation from long-term exposure to sunlight.
All Micro-toppings
have just the right addition of polymer in the mix
for their application – just add water.
Product Specifications:
Coverage: One 50 lb. bag of micro-topping will cover 200-400 square feet.
Equipment and Supplies needed:
Drill, mixing paddle, buckets, plastic weed sprayer, trowels,
knee pads and squeegee.
Concrete Preparation and Evaluation:
Surface must be clean and reasonably dry.
All crack repair
etc, should have taken place prior to pressure washing,
scarifying, grinding or shot blasting.
Cut new control joints
as required to prevent cracks transferring through the
overlay.
Pressure-wash all dust and residue from the surface
to ensure a clean surface.
If high temperatures are imminent,
the substrate may be misted with water immediately before
the installation to cool the concrete.
It is highly advisable to
apply a thin skim coat consisting of DuraSet™ 1000/1001
polymer and G-100 Pro Series Grout Mix to the surface.
Coloring of this coat is not necessary but advisable.
Allow it
to dry enough to walk on without causing damage.
The surface should have been previously skimmed prior as
mentioned above.
Pour 25%-30% of the mix onto the
surface. At this point, the material may be applied to large
areas using a squeegee to spread the material and finished
by hand or “funny trowel”, or simply spread and troweled by
hand.
In either case, a thin coating is recommended and is
all that is necessary. Material builds much over 1/8” are
discouraged.
For a nice, smooth, power troweled look,
trowel the material near to final thickness and then flat
trowel again after a few minutes much like you would
regular concrete.
Sweat and broom finishes can be
accomplished in much the same manner.
Micro-topping is compatible
with all chemical and acid stains. If the
surface is to be acid stained upon curing, it is recommended
to apply a light mist of water to the surface immediately
before acid stain application using a plastic pump sprayer.
Sealing: Although micro-toppings are durable, they must be sealed
to maintain their integrity. Allow the overlay to cure for a
minimum
of seven days,
protect the surface
with SuperSeal™
2000, GemKote™100
and 400 VOC acrylic
sealers. For additional sealer
questions please consult
Concrete Coatings Inc. technical
support at 800-443-2871.
Maintenance: The sealed surface should be inspected
periodically for areas of thin or traffic-worn sealer
and reapplied as needed. A thorough cleaning is
recommended prior to resealing to ensure debris or
contaminants are not embedded in the subsequent sealer
coat(s).
