Mineral plaster coat in powder for interiors and exteriors, for cement effects

Archi+ Concrete is a mineral plaster coat in powder for interiors. It is made of well-seasoned hydrated lime putties, white cement, specific aggregates and rheological modifiers carefully selected to ensure an excellent workability.

The particular grain curve of Archi+ Concrete and the possibility to overlap it with one or more layers of Fase Silossanica, acrylsiloxane colour wash (matt), ensures to achieve cutting-edge elegant concrete effects, in line with the newest trends in the interior design.

Archi+ Concrete permits to achieve post-industrial concrete-look textures, with elegant soft colour washing shades.

The thickness of Archi+ Concrete ensures high protection performances on the substrate where it is applied-on.

Application:

  1. The substrate must be perfectly dry, dust-free, with no humidity and salt stains.
  2. Remove any traces of disarming.
  3. Remove with mechanic drill or high pressure washing detaching parts or traces of dirt. Level any irregularities in the surface and treat holes, cracks, cervices and gaps in indoor with specific products. Wait for the complete maturation of the substrate before to start the application.
  4. For the preparation of the substrate, Archi+ Fondo (mineral key coat) can be applied-on in one or two coats in order to build up the ideal mineral support for Archi+ Concrete.
  5. On dry and compact substrate, apply with brush a layer of Decofix (micronized clear sealer) properly diluted.
  6. For non-chalk, solid and compact surfaces, Novaprimer (acrylic pigmented sealer) can be applied in one layer, diluted, with brush.
  1. When the substrate is completely dry, apply one smooth coat of Archi+ Concrete with a stainless steel trowel (NAT012, NAT013).
  2. Remove any imperfection and/or the exceeding amount if any.
  3. Wait between 40 to 90 minutes (depending on the substrate and weather conditions) before apply a second coat of Archi+ Concrete with a stainless steel trowel, achieving a uniform and even surface.
  4. Work into the product still wet with the specific “trowel for Archi+ Concrete” until reaching the desired texture typical of the product.
  5. Wait the product starts to set (partially dry) before smoothing it down with a stainless still trowel.
  6. It is possible to enhance the post-industrial concrete look applying one or two layers of Fase Silossanica with sponge, on dry surface.
  7. Apply the first layer of Fase Silossanica, diluted, with a clean and dry sea sponge.
  8. Remove the exceeding products, working the surface with a clean and dry sponge.
  9. When the substrate has dried out totally, apply a second coat of Fase Silossanica following the same procedures.
  10. Drying time: 48 hours approx. depending on the type of substrate, its absorption rate and weather conditions.
  1. When the substrate is completely dry, apply one smooth coat of Archi+ Concrete with a stainless steel trowel (NAT012, NAT013).
  2. Remove any imperfection and/or the exceeding amount if any.
  3. Wait between 40 to 90 minutes (depending on the substrate and weather conditions) before apply a second coat of Archi+ Concrete tinted, with a stainless steel trowel. Work immediately the surface with rubber pad float for wooden effect (NAT033).
  4. Wait the product starts to set (partially dry) before smoothing it down with a stainless still trowel.
  5. It is possible to enhance the post-industrial concrete look applying one or two layers of Fase Silossanica with sponge, on dry surface.
  6. Apply the first layer of Fase Silossanica, diluted, with a clean and dry sea sponge.
  7. Remove the exceeding products, working the surface with a clean and dry sponge.
  8. When the substrate has dried out totally, apply a second coat of Fase Silossanica following the same procedures.
  9. Drying time: 48 hours approx. depending on the type of substrate, its absorption rate and weather conditions.

Archi+ Concrete can be used in exteriors too, as long as minimum two layers of Fase Silossanica are applied on top of it. It is recommended to apply the first layer of Fase Silossanica transparent and the subsequent layer/s of Fase Silossanica tinted.

Approximate coverage yields 1.3-1.8 Kg/m2 (ref. to the paste) and 0.9-1.2 Kg/m2 (ref. to the powder), in two layers, depending on the type of substrate and on its absorption. It is suggested to test the effective yield directly at site.

Fase Silossanica: 12-15 m2/l for two layers depending on the type of substrate. It is suggested to test the effective yield directly at site.
