      • • Concrete, cement screeds, gypsum boards and cement boards
        • Existing coverings such as ceramic tiles, marble, terrazzo
        • Glass, metal and wood properly primed

Substrate preparation:

Cement based substrates must be compact, level, clean, free of grease, oil, laitance, and any substances which may compromise the adhesion of PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM TERRA.
Existing floor and/or wall coverings from ceramic tiles, marble, mosaics, etc. they must be securely fastened to the substrate and free of any residue which may affect adhesion. If necessary, clean the surface depending on the type of surface dirt with ALCALINE CLEANER or ACID CLEAN and rinse with clean water. Prior to laying the material, pre-apply the acrylic quartz primer PLANO CONTACT FAST. The coating follows once the primer has dried completely.

Preparation of the mix:

To obtain the desired color, the dye must be added to the water and homogenized. Then mix the contents of the PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM TERRA bag with an electric mixer at low speed for at least 3-5 minutes. The product is ready to use.

Application:

Apply two or three coats according to the desired finish. On horizontal surfaces; apply the first coat by means of a notched trowel 6 x 6 incorporating, inside the still fresh mortar, the alkali resistant NOVAMIX FIBERGLASS NET. The net incorporation is recommended also for vertical surfaces to function as a thickness indication of the coating. Apply a second coat after the coating becomes hard after 6 hours in normal conditions, ensuring that the net is fully covered. If required, an additional coating or subsequent coatings can be applied to reach the desired pattern. It is recommended to prime between coats with PLANOPRIMER diluted 1:1 with water. To obtain an extra smooth and minimal texture it is recommended to slightly sand the finished surface, to eliminate any small irregularities. The sandpaper grain size must be chosen according to the requirements.

Once the coating is complete and it is completely dry, the surface can be sealed according to the requirements of the application using one of the NOVAMIX products.

Expansion joints:

The location of the respective expansion joints depends on the use of the surface and the geometry of the area.

Recommendations:

• Apply only on solid and properly primed substrate
• Avoid application under direct sunlight and/or strong drying wind or rain
• Do not add water in quantity higher than the recommended and do not add water when the mixture starts to set
• Do not cover or apply the product over existing expansion joints of the substrate
• Do not apply the coating on substrates with rising damp or in total water immersion without substrate waterproofing
• Do not add cement, gypsum, lime or other substances which might influence the properties of the mortar.
• Don’t apply the coating on substrates and/or areas with temperature less than +5°C or higher than +35°C
• Do not apply directly over anhydrite screeds, metal or flexible substrates with high deformability and intense vibration.
• Application should be performed by professional users

Cleaning:

Tools, buckets, tiles etc. can be cleaned with fresh and clean water if, PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM TERRA is still fresh. After hardening occurs, cleaning can take place only by mechanical means.

Substrate preparation:

Cement based substrates have to be compact, level, clean, free of grease, oil, laitance and any substances which may compromise the adhesion of PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM 2K. The minimum flexural strength shouldn’t be less than 1,5 N/mm² and the minimum compressive strength at least 25 N/mm². The application surfaces must be dry and protected from rising humidity with max moisture content <4% by weight measured with the CM or Darr method. If required concrete substrates should be first properly prepared by mechanical polishing in order to obtain a uniform absorbent substrate with open porosity without protruding edges. If levelling is required, it is recommended to use mortars with controlled shrinkage and drying such as RC 240 or NOVACEM RAPID according to the requirements of each application. Existing cracks on the substrate should be bonded with the two-component epoxy resin EPO FLUID or EPO PASTE. Absorbent substrates should be primed with PLANOPRIMER in order to enhance adhesion and provide a substrate with uniform absorbency. Substrate of reduced strength should receive consolidation treatment by means of NOVAPRIMER or WATER PRIMER EPX. On surfaces with reduced absorbency such as mosaics, ceramic tiles or marbles well fixed, prime with PLANO CONTACT FAST. For external area applications, swimming pools the substrate has to be waterproofed first by using SC ELASTIC or SC 200 PENETRATE. For additional information refer to the Technical Data Sheets of the products.

Preparation of the mix:

In the bucket containing the powder empty the recipients containing the PREMIUM LATEX and the pigments in liquid form NOVACOLOR DESIGN, according to the desired color, of the relevant PLANOCOLOR MICROCEMENT color chart. According to the required workability for every 1kg of PREMIUM LATEX 1 – 1,5 L of clean water must be added. This water is used to clean the recipients of both PREMIUM LATEX and NOVACOLOR DESIGN, in order to ensure the uniform color between different buckets mixes as well as that all the quantity of both products is inside the mix. Mix by means of electrical stirrer for at least 3 minutes until you obtain a uniform mix free of lumps. The mix has to be used within 1,5 hours after mixing in normal conditions. After this time don’t try to soft the mix by adding water. Low temperatures extend and high temperatures reduce the workability of the mix.

Application of the mix:

Apply two or three coats according to the desired finish. On horizontal surfaces apply the first coat of PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM 2K by means of a notched trowel 6 x 6 incorporating, inside the still fresh mortar, the alkali resistant NOVAMIX FIBERGLASS NET. The net incorporation is recommended also for vertical surfaces in order to function as a thickness indication of the coating. Apply a second layer after the coating becomes hard, usually after 6 hours in normal conditions, ensuring that the NOVAMIX FIBERGLASS NET is fully embedded in the microcement layers and therefore not visible. If required, an additional coating or subsequent coatings can be applied in order to reach the desired pattern. It is recommended to prime between coats with PLANOPRIMER diluted 1:1 with water. In order to obtain an extra smooth and minimal texture it is recommended to slightly sand the finished surface, in order to eliminate any small irregularities, especially prior to varnish-sealer application. The sandpaper grain size must be chosen according to the requirements. After 24 hours from the application of the coating and after checking humidity content, an appropriate varnish-sealer must be applied. One of the DRY BRIGHT, PROTECT 200, PLANOFINISH EPOXY or any of the PLANOFINISH PU varnishes can be used, according to the requirements of each application. For additional information refer to the Technical Data Sheets of the products.

Expansion joints:

The expansion joints incorporation depends on the use of the surface and the dimensions of the area. In internal areas every 7 – 10 linear meters and in external areas every 5 – 7 linear meters.

Recommendations:

• Apply only on solid and properly primed substrate
• Avoid application under direct sunlight and/or strong drying wind or rain
• Do not add water in quantity higher than the recommended and do not add water when the mixture starts to set
• Do not cover or apply the product over existing expansion joints of the substrate
• Do not apply the coating on substrates with rising damp or in total water immersion without substrate waterproofing
• Do not add cement, gypsum, lime or other substances which might influence the properties of the mortar.
• Don’t apply the coating on substrates and/or areas with temperature less than +5°C or higher than +35°C
• Do not apply directly over anhydrite screeds, metal or flexible substrates with high deformability and intense vibration.
• Application should be performed by professional user
