CP1000

CP1000 is all acrylic latex dispersion used as primer and additive for cementitious coatings like Skraffino, Arapido and Param SSL. It can be also used in semi-transparent stains.

CP1000 Advantages

• Excellent adhesion to concrete, steel, brick, wood, plywood, ceramic tiles, etc.
• Increased tensile and compressive strength
• Improved flexibility
• Greatly increased durability
• High abrasion resistance
• Increased impact strength
• Increased freeze/thaw resistance
• Water-resistant
• Reduced shrinkage

Application – As a PRIMER

Prime all surfaces with Cp1000 acrylic activator as per the following guidelines:
DO NOT DILUTE. Apply with a garden sprayer then spread with a broom or mop to assist complete coverage and penetration. Two coats of primer are essential. First coat should be applied the day prior to installing overlay, and then the second commencing the next morning. Once the milky look has completely disappeared and turned clear the surface is then ready for overlaying. Placing the overlay before the second coat is touch-dry may result in
bleed and varying white marks on the finished surface. For 2 primer coats allow 5 gallons of Cp1000 per 1000ft2 however, this can vary considerably according to surface porosity.

An incorrectly primed surface may result in pinholes in the topping and cause accelerated and incomplete hydration of the product. Overlay must be installed no later than 6 hours after the second coat of primer has been applied. Always use the measuring bucket provided and adjust if necessary with the small measuring cup.

NOTE: Liquid requirements vary according to ambient temperature and the condition of the concrete substrate. If drying conditions include hot, dry, rapid air movement, correct the condition if possible.

Application – As an Activator

Step 1 |  Prior to installation of a topping place Cp1000 and the required water into a large holding container (e.g., garbage bin) at the following dilution ratios and liquid requirements for cementitious toppings.

Pentimento | Dilute Cp1000 with water at 2:1 ratio (2 parts CP1000 and 1 part water), then use the supplied 4.6 liter measure
bucket supplied.

Note | To mix Pentimento at a 2:1 ratio means you should blend 5 gallons of CP1000 with 2.5 gallons of water into a large holding
container.

Skraffino | Do not dilute with water, use pure, and then use the 4.6-liter measure bucket supplied.

Step 2 | Using the liquid measuring bucket (pre-cut to the previously specified liters), dip and fill to the pre-cut level and pur
into a clean 5-gallon mixing pail.

Step 3 | Add Colorfast color if required into 5 gallon mixing bucket and spin for 2-5 seconds. Aqua Color can be used to integrally
color Skraffino only.

Step 4 | Place 2/3 of the powder into the mixing bucket and spin with liquid for 30 seconds using a slow-speed drill and paddle
attachment.

Step 5 | Place the remaining powder into a bucket and mix thoroughly for 60 seconds to disperse all ingredients to a pourable consistency.
The volume of liquid required is very critical. Always use the measure bucket provided and adjust if necessary with small measure cup.

NOTE: Liquid requirements vary according to ambient temperature and the condition of the concrete substrate. If drying
conditions include hot, dry, and rapid air movement, correct the condition if possible.
