CIMENTART MICROCEMENT
CIMENTART - AQUA BASE
AQUA BASE
AQUA BASE CIMENTART is a mineral micro mortar composed of minerals, polymers, aggregates, resins, dyes and special waterproof additives, prepared and ready to use.
It must be applied in layers of 1 mm maximum. It is used for the PREPARATION in baths of any type of support, covering of joints in wall or floor tiles, for the subsequent application of fine Microcement, both indoors and outdoors.
Thanks to the evolution of the nanotechnology industry (def: field of science dedicated to the control and manipulation of matter on a scale smaller than a micrometer, atoms and molecules; nano-materials), and to our R + D Department , and tests based on our experience for more than 8 years, CIMENTART MICROCEMENT SL has managed to develop the first and only WATERPROOF Microcement on the market, special for showers, ready to use and with a high quality.
With AQUA BASE CIMENTART you will get a preparation of Microcement, 100% waterproof*, with a great hardness, although you do not have any experience and without the need of machines, tools or mixing containers, with a single product, perfect for the later termination with AQUA MICROCONCRETE CimentArt or AQUA QUARTZ, ready to use Microcements 100% waterproof.*
With AQUA BASE CIMENTART, we solve the problem of the moisture stain, which appears by scratches or bumps or in drains joints or between the joint of Microcement with tile walls.
CHARACTERISTICS AND ADVANTAGES
One of the main features of AQUA BASE CIMENTART is its simplicity, getting regularized and/or prepare different supports, without having to use 2 products as the Microcement has traditionally been done: Microcement and Mixing Resin.
AQUA BASE CIMENTART is all that in a single container and 100% waterproof. The main advantages of AQUA BASE CIMENTART are:
· It does not need to be mixed. Product ready to use.
· 100% waterproof.*
· A single container with a hardness comparable to any microcement on the market.
· Easy application, no need for experience.
· Excellent adhesion on any support.
· Great elasticity, which allows it to resist large tensions or building movements.
· Great covering power of the fiberglass mesh.
· Ideal product for preparing supports and covering tile joints, tile, stoneware, porcelain, etc.
· Fast and clean jobs.
· Compared with other microcements, 90% less dust when sanding.
· Possibility that it is pigmented with any universal pigment and in a tintometric machine.
· Ideal for application on walls and floors of bathrooms and showers.
· Possibility of making an extensive range of colors.

SURFACES
The supports where AQUA BASE CIMENTART is applied should be resistant and clean, stable, free of dust, grease and any material that hinders its adherence.
For a correct application of AQUA BASE CIMENTART, it is necessary to have a completely rigid support, without movement or expansion. Never apply on a bad shape surface such as broken tiles or bad paint.
State you have to clean the defective area and wait for it to dry completely before starting the application of AQUA BASE CIMENTART.
AQUA BASE CIMENTART can be applied on walls and floors, indoors and outdoors, on an infinity of supports such as:
• Paint.
• Cement and plaster.
• Wood and Plasterboard.
• Tile, ceramic and porcelain.
• Marble and granite.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
On supports that have joints of more than 2 mm, and once the application of the PRIMER CIMENTART PLUS has been completed, first cover with a spatula all the joints with AQUA BASE CIMENTART.
If the joint is thin, spread the fiberglass mesh and apply a layer of PRIMER CIMENTART PLUS on each support, in a homogeneous way, with a micro fiber roller or brush and wait for it to dry completely, with special attention in areas that have joints so they are well covered.
Open the container and mix very well with a spatula or mixer for paints, until the paste is completely homogeneous. Apply 2 to 3 coats, as needed, exerting pressure with the trowel with a maximum thickness of 0.7 to 1 mm each layer until obtaining the desired continuous finish.
The thickness of 0.7 mm is achieved with the steel trowel inclined at 45 ° and exerting a certain pressure when applying the product. This product should never be applied without exerting pressure with the trowel or in layers thicker than 1 mm, as it will lose hardness.
On very dry substrates, the surface where we will apply AQUA BASE CIMENTART can be lightly moistened with water with the help of a diffuser spray, without flooding the areas. This process can also be done between layers.
The application of all the layers must be done with short and semicircular movements leaving the entire surface well covered and leaving less imperfections possible. Allow to dry completely and apply the next layer until it has a completely regularized support, do not see the fiberglass mesh or tiles joints.
It is recommended to sand EACH layer applied with 40 or 60 grit sandpaper. After each sanding process, thoroughly vacuum the dust and / or remove it with a slightly moistened cloth.
Once prepared the support, you can continue with the application of the rest of the process, with AQUA QUARTZ CIMENTART, fine Microcement ready to use, 100% waterproof*, finished with 1 layer of sealer and two of polyurethane varnish for easy cleaning.
PRECAUTIONS
AQUA BASE CimentArt microcement is only recommended for preparing walls and floors of bathrooms and showers in general.
If you need to dilute the product with water to obtain a more fluid concrete for the application, do not exceed a maximum of 5% dissolution.
Never apply the product on substrates that are wet, damp or have capillary moisture. Do not apply the product if there is humidity in the environment of more than 50%.
Do not apply in layers greater than 1 mm.
Do not apply with risk of frost or rainy weather. Do not apply at temperatures below 5ºC or above 35ºC.
Never leave the last layer in half, once begun continue until its completion without stoppages, so that no cuts or joints. If the surface is very large, the application must be made by several people at the same time.
Furniture should never be placed where the legs finish is: pointed, rounded, with rigid plastic protectors, etc … the entire weight is concentrated in a single point and can mark the micro-cement.
The legs of chairs, tables or furniture must have a wide and straight termination and must always have protective felts placed. All rigid plastic leg protectors should ALWAYS be removed. A protective felt must be placed.
Completely avoid the dragging of furniture, appliances or other objects or tools on a Microcement pavement.
The cleaning of the tool used is done with water.
