Ready for use, not to be diluted

Mix the product properly before the tinting phase and the application cycle.
Do not apply on wet/fresh substrates, wait a maturation time, generally of four weeks.

(referred to environment conditions T=25°C, UR=60%)
The substrate must be perfectly dry, dust-free, with no humidity and salt stains.
Resurface or consolidate the surface with specific products if necessary.
In case of mould, treat the surface with suitable specific products.
Brush or remove any efflorescence and old peeling paint.
Higher layers of old lime-based paint and tempera paint must be removed.
Brush out dust, smog or other deposits before the application.
In case of non-homogeneous or chalky surfaces, apply one layer of Decofix (micronized wall sealer) diluted, with a brush.

In case of compact and non-chalky substrates, it is possible to apply Acricolor or Novaprimer.
Once the substrate is completely dry, apply one coat of Concrete By Novacolor with a stainless steel or plastic trowel.
Remove any imperfections and/or any exceeding amount of product. 
Once the first layer is completely dry, apply a second coat of Concrete By Novacolor until you will obtain a homogeneous surface.
Work into the product still wet with the specific “trowel for Concrete” until reaching the desired texture typical of the product. 
Wait the product starts to set (partially dry) before smoothing it down with a stainless still trowel. 
It is possible to enhance the post-industrial concrete look applying one or two layers of Fase Silossanica with sponge, on dry surface.  
Apply the first layer of Fase Silossanica, diluted, with a clean and dry sea sponge. 
Remove the exceeding products, working the surface with a clean and dry sponge. 
When the substrate has dried out totally, apply a second coat of Fase Silossanica following the same procedures. 
Drying time: 48 hours approx. depending on the type of substrate, its absorption rate and weather conditions.

When applying, the material must be protected from the cold and from big heat changes during the entire application process. 
Do not apply at air, background and product temperatures below +5°C or above +35 °C. 
Ambient humidity must be <75%; background humidity must be <10%.
In order not to compromise the optimal appearance and performance of the product, we recommend applying it in the above-mentioned ambient conditions.
It is advisable to complete each work with materials from the same batch of production. When using multiple batches, it is recommended to remix the various products together to avoid slight differences in shading. 
For the correct use of the above materials, and for dilution and laying, please carefully read the technical data sheet.
The correct use of equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended during all phases of background and product preparation, and of application).

With water, immediately after use.

1.6-2.0 kg/m2 in two coats, depending on the kind of substrate

The product should preferably be used within 2 years if stored in its original, unopened containers and under suitable temperature conditions.
Storage temperature: from +5 °C to 30 °C.
