DESCRIPTION CEMENTEK is a clear liquid sealer for your prepared cement based surface that you created, providing a hard wearing, dust free finish that can withstand traffic, weathering and Ultra Violet (UV) CEMENTEK is a combination curing, sealing, dust-proofing and hardening for cement and cementitious surfaces - like your steel floated floors, counter tops and bathroom wall and floors. CEMENTEK will adhere to damp surfaces and also effectively stops rising moisture. CEMENTEK is clear (not a syrup colour) and can withstand UV and complete submersion in water. CEMENTEK will not yellow with time. CEMENTEK can be used as a primer (under new coatings to hold back damp) or on its own as a semi gloss finish for your cement finish project. Can be used in ponds and dams as a primer (to stop moisture behind our waterproofing AQUA SEAL) or on its own as a natural finish. CEMENTEK is deep penetrating to form part of your surface, rather than sitting on top of your surface and is a concrete densifier as opposed to simply a sealer. TINTING CEMENTEK is a clear coat and cannot be tinted. Cementek cannot be mixed with any aggregate or powder and is to be used on its own. Cementek can to be applied to a new or existing surface. Should one want to tint or colour the surface before the application of Cementek, ONLY our PRISTINA paint should be used as it is breathable allowing CEMENTEK to penetrate. PRISTINA can be applied as a wash (diluted 1:2 or 1:3 with water onto a pre wet surface) or on its own to get a solid uniform colour (or a combination of both to create depth to a solid colour) CEMENTEK has a very strong solvent allowing the resin within CEMENTEK to be soluble, and as a result will soften the surface of a coating that it is being applied to, including that of PRISTINA. This first coat is to be applied lightly and not overworked, CEMENTEK should not be poured onto the surface but rather one should work from the container with a fine hair roller. FEATURES CEMENTEK allows for: - Application to damp uncured cement without the risk of ensuring that the surface is less than a certain % dry. Can screed today and apply Cementek the following day which will give a lighter look. - The curing and sealing of concrete is accomplished at once. - Can be applied to old or new cementitious surfaces. - Penetrates and hardens the surface. - No etching of the surface required to ensure sound adhesion. - CEMENTEK ensures that the concrete/cement reaches its full Mpa once cured. - Hard-wearing of concrete floors. Stops new concrete floors from dusting. - Allows to paint within 48 hours of plastering. - Excellent water and U.V. protection CEMENTEK other uses - To seal bricks, concrete floors and other porous surfaces. - As a sealer on damp plaster without a normal 28-day curing period, before painting. - As a sealer on green (not yet cured) flat deck roofing before waterproofing allowing the waterproofing to be applied after 48 hours instead of normal 28-day curing periods. COVERAGE On a steel floated floor, a minimum of three coats is required (as Cementek penetrates the surface) A 1lt, for the three coats will cover approx 3 to 4sqm. A 5lt for the three coats will cover approx 15 to 20sqm. A 20lt for the three coats will cover approx 60 to 80sqm. Rough or poor cement ratio surfaces will use more product. Cementek will highlight the surface it is applied to, and will give a semi gloss finish. Applying more coats will improve the sheen. A fine hair roller (mohair) or similar is to be used, and product is to be spread. TAP the roller regulary on its side to remove product from the core of the roller to stop line spillage on application. Allow a minimum of 4 hours curing between coats. USEFUL HINTS CEMENTEK is best applied to a fine closed surface, like a steel floated, or power floated surface. One can add white (or other) cement, oxide, or colourant to your screed topping to get a lighter or different colour finish. AVAILABILTY CEMENTEK is shipped thoughout South Africa and directly to you at a nominal R110 per order with a nominal additional cost for orders over 30kg's. This fee is applicable to all other products on our site. AVAILABLE in 1lt 5lt and 20lt CEMENTEK makes use of High Aromatic White Spirits (HAWS) - a strong solvent- that ensures the resin is able to penetrate and is soluble for application. Application area should be well ventilated. NOTE Painting over CEMENTEK requires a minimum of 48hrs curing before the application of the new coatings. CLEANING Clean all equipment with lacquer thinners.
