plastering methods Concreto achieves the look of a

newly laid concrete floor .

RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not apply Concreto at temperatures below 5°C or

higher than 35°C.

Before applying Concreto to the prepared substrate, ensure

all adjacent fixtures are protected i.e. window and door

frames, roof and floor finishes by covering using masking

tape and a plastic protective sheet.

When applying Concreto ensure the substrate is in the shade and not being adversely effected by strong winds.

loose paint, foreign sealers, curing agents, loose particles, laitance or any other foreign matter that may impede

with the bonding of the Durodeco primer.

Substrate Priming

Priming of the substrate is crucial in making the substrate uniformly absorbent prior to the application of the

Concreto base coat. On the approved substrate apply one coat of Durodeco primer by brush, roller or spray until

an even coverage is achieved. (Consumption rate will vary dependent of substrate type).

Allow to dry.

Product Preparation

Into a clean mixing vessel place 3-4 litres of clean potable water then add the required pre-mixed powder

slowly while mixing using a low speed mechanical mixer till a homogenous lump free consistancy is achieved.

Allow the mixture to stand for three (3) minutes and remix. Pot life of the mixture is approximately 90 min @

25°C and 50% relative humdity .

The material is now ready to use.

Product Application

primed substrate.

Immediately after placing the Concreto base coat finish by applying even pressure with a plastic float and in

Concreto Apply the prepared Concreto top coat over the base coat with a stainless steel float in one pass evening out as you go. As the material starts to become firm apply even pressure with a clean stainless steel float compacting the material as you go to create a smooth and even surface. Continue compacting the material with a clean Stainlees steel float until a hard, smooth and uniform is achieved.
