ΜARMOFINISH FW EXTRA FINE

Decorative cementitious mortar for floors and walls – Top thin granule coat

MARMOFINISH FW EXTRA FINE is a cement mortar used indoors and outdoors as a top coat in the MARMOFINISH decorative cementitious mortar system. It ensures very good mechanical properties, while at the same time giving a high aesthetic effect. Homogeneous, ready-to-mix, industrial product of consistently high quality. It ensures good workability, increased application speed, it is economical and provides excellent results.

Composition & Features

• Mixture of high quality white cement and crushed marble of strictly selected granulometry and quality, enriched with special improving additives. • Classified according to the EN 1504-3:2005 standard as: (R1-PCC) concrete repair mortar for non-structural repairs.  

Application

• The substrate (MARMOFINISH FW) must be dry, clean and cured. • The contents of the MARMOFINISH FW EXTRA FINE bag shall be added gradually to clean water or to water in which the desired dye has been previously dissolved (5.0-5.5 l/bag) under continuous stirring using an electric mixer at low speed until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The mixture is allowed to cure for 5 minutes and then stirred again before the application. • MARMOFINISH FW EXTRA FINE is then applied with a smooth putty knife and the surface is smoothed, pressed, to avoid the formation of bubbles inside the material. It is important that the putty knife runs over the entire surface, pressing on every point. • In the application phase of MARMOFINISH FW EXTRA FINE, pigments can be added to the mixture, which, with the appropriate technique, will create “waves” in various tones on the final surface, giving a unique aesthetic effect. • After 2-3 days, the polyurethane varnish PROTECTOR SHIELD (gloss or matt) is universally saturated on the surface, giving the final surface water repellency, high mechanical strength, stability and resistance to stains. • Usually, the application of polyurethane varnishes changes the color of the surface. If this is not desirable, it is recommended to apply an intermediate coat of PROTECTOR SHIELD ACRYL. • On large surfaces, care must be taken to provide expansion joints. • For even better results, see the relevant MARMOLATEX product. • During the first 24 hours after application, and especially in the summer months, it is recommended to wet the surface to avoid possible cracking due to sudden evaporation of water and dehydration of the product. • During application, extreme climatic conditions such as strong wind, rain, etc. should be avoided and the temperature should be between +5 oC and +35 oC.
