NEOCEMENT

3 COMPONENT POLISHED CEMENT

DECORATIVE PAINTS & COATINGS

Description
NEOCEMENT is an innovative system especially engineered for wall and floor cement seamless finishes. It consists of premium quality tri-
component multipurpose decorative topping designed for resurfacing existing or degraded floorings, giving them the look and feel of new
concrete. Neocement can also be colored and stained to achieve completely customizable and unique decorative effects on a multitude of
surfaces such as concrete, wood, metal, marble, granite, ceramic tiles and even glass, providing interior designers with a wide array of bespoke
and modern finishes options such as:
§ Concrete wall and floor finishes, which allows the design to extend from the floor to the walls and even ceilings.
§ Degraded surfaces restoration, allowing for cost reduction by eliminating the need to deal with waste removal.
§ Light concrete furniture by applying Neocement on furniture built from wood and metal.
§ Bespoke finishes, using stencils to create custom art and graphics integrally in the floor finish.

Recommended For
Neocement is suitable for Interior & exterior applications on both horizontal and vertical surfaces in locations such as kitchens, bathrooms,
shower box, or even as coatings for bathtubs. When properly installed, Neocement produces superior adhesion with high abrasion resistances
and flexural properties that are unrivalled by other cement base coatings or concrete overlays, making it highly suitable for high traffic areas.

Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be cured, clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, rust, stains, grease, oil, mildew, wax, efflorescence, bond-breakers and other
contaminants. Remove all loose, peeling, or chalky paint by sanding, scraping, or any other appropriate methods. Repair all cracks, holes, and
other surface imperfections with a suitable patching material. Repaired surfaces should then be sanded smooth, dusted clean and primed with a
suitable Colortek primer.
New plaster or masonry surfaces must be allowed to cure (28 days) before applying base coat. Cured plaster should be hard, have a slight sheen
and maximum pH of 10; soft, porous or powdery plaster indicates improper cure. Knife off any protrusions and prime the plaster before and
after applying patching compound. Poured or pre-cast concrete with a very smooth surface should be etched or abraded to promote adhesion,
after removing all form release agents and curing compounds. Remove any powder or loose particles.

Application Conditions
Neocement is to be applied to a surface with less than 10% MVTR (Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate) or less than 90% RH (Relative Humidity).
o o
Temperature should be 5 C to 35 C to ensure correct application.

Application Method
§ Apply Colortek SX0 Primewell or SX9 Humiguard to consolidate the surface if the substrate is friable or chalky.
§ Apply Neofiller Base Coat (two coats). Once the second coat has dried, sand the surface with a 60 grid and remove the dust.
§ Apply first Neocement Coat; (Mix all 3 components until obtaining a relatively pasty mortar with good sag resistance).
§ Once the coat has dried, apply second Neocement coat.
§ Once the second coat has dried, sand the surface with a 150 or 220 grid and remove the dust.
§ Apply the desired protective topcoat depending on intended use of the surface and location (see table).
Note 1: Apply Neocement in small strokes of 30 to 50 cm and avoid edges drying in large areas to avoid marks.
Note 2: When applying on ceramic tiles, it is important to remove or block the joint tiles with Colortek SX2. Ceramic tiles joints are traditionally
filled with cement-based tiling grout which is prone to letting humidity pass and the Epoxy based SX2 grout will prevent the ghosting effect.
Note 3: When applying on Terrazzo, we recommend the application of an additional coat of Neofiller. Terrazzo tiles come in a wide variety and
differ greatly in their material composition with some highly prone to humidity permeability. Neofiller being a highly efficient humidity blocker,
the additional coat will help in preventing surfacing humidity.
Note 4: When applying Neocement® it is important to apply it flush to the wall and to create a virtual skirting that impedes water filtration
underneath the decorative coat by applying the protective sealer up to 3 cm vertically.

Storage and Handling

Care should be taken to avoid spillage. Store in a dry area. Protect from freezing. Extreme temperatures may cause paint to become unusable.
For example: freezing and thawing may cause paint to gel, and high heat may cause solid skin to form.

Safety
Use under well ventilated conditions. Do not breathe or inhale spray mist or sanding dust. Avoid skin contact; spillage on the skin should
immediately be removed with suitable cleanser, soap and water. In case of eye contact, flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes and
seek medical attention immediately. If you have trouble breathing, leave the area to obtain fresh air. If continued difficulty is experienced, get
medical attention immediately.

Cleaning
Remove as much leftover product as possible from the application equipment before cleaning. Clean equipment immediately after use with
warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Do not empty product into drains or watercourses.
