Thin Concrete Overlay
Thin Micro-Topping Concrete Overlay
Durável TCO is an extremely flexible Micro-Topping overlay that can be used for interior and exterior applications on horizontal and vertical surfaces. This is where both imagination and functionality meet. Durável TCO can be used to create a fresh flat surface or unique texture on old tired and worn concrete.
Durával TCO™ – Don’t Just Overlay it… Durável It!
This fresh canvas can be colored integrally using Overlay Color Packs as a great basis for design. Then with some imagination, creativity and In-Fluence stains an extremely durable new and beautiful surface comes to life like no other.
Durável TCO is a heavy-duty decorative texture cement overlay system which is designed to beautify old and new concrete alike. Using the latest single component technologies, Durável TCO has been engineered to lead the industry in compressive strength, durability, adhesion, as well as ease of use. Durável TCO is a self-bonding add water only white or gray Portland cement-based composite that can be integrally colored in the field. Durável TCO can be applied using conventional concrete tools such as metal squeegees and assorted hand trowels. Textures are created using trowels, squeegees, brooms, brushes, and sponges. Texture options include, but are not limited to Smooth, Stenciled, Wood Finish, Venetian Plaster, Stippled, Slate, and many more. With the combination of Overlay Color Packs and a variety of In-Fluence stains, the imagination becomes the limit. Durável TCO will handle all residential and light commercial traffic.
Tinting Instructions
Durável TCO is manufactured with White and Gray cement. Overlay Color Pack iron oxide pigments may be added to the mix water to modify the overlay color, but the color chart is specific to the White overlay. Durável TCO Gray may also be tinted but is typically used without additional color. Samples are required when tinting Durável TCO Gray.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Mix single bags in clean 5-gallon pails with a helical mixing blade. Water demand varies with environmental conditions and application technique, between 4 and 5.5 quarts per bag (2.8 to 5.2 liters). For best results and longest pot life use clean, cold water – run hot water out of hoses prior to using for mixing – and keep bags cool by not storing in direct sun. Measure mix water into mixing vessel. When applicable, add pigment to the water and thoroughly blend prior to adding bag mix. While mixing slowly, add the bag contents then mix to a lump-free consistency. Make sure to scrape any unmixed product from the sides and bottom of the mixing vessel. Mixed product should be applied promptly and kept out of direct sunlight (if possible) to extend working time. If the product stiffens in the bucket dispose of the mix, do not add more water.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-wet substrate to Saturated Surface Damp (SSD) and continue wetting surface as needed during product application. Pour out mixed product onto the substrate in ribbons over the immediate work area then spread evenly with trowels and/or squeegees. Under normal conditions the mixed product has a +/- thirty-minute pot life, so it is not necessary to pour out the entire mix at once. See Coverage Rate above.
Do not apply Durável TCO in locations which are permanently submerged.
