MicroTek™ One Coat is a single-component, self-bonding, cement-based, extremely thin overlay for interior concrete surfaces. MicroTek One Coat was designed to yield an exceptionally smooth tight-troweled finish that can provide a new “blank canvas” for decorative concrete floors. It may also be placed vertically on interior walls, creating the look of Venetian plaster.
Application is accomplished by trowel or “magic trowel”. MicroTek One Coat is prepared with gray cement or white cement that may accept SC Color packs.
MicroTek MIX RATIO
5 to 6 quarts (4.7 – 5.7 liters) water to one 40-pound (18.1 kg) bag of MicroTek One Coat
Optional: 0.5 pound (227 g) Color Pack – 30 standard colors (see SC Color TDS)
COVERAGE
Depends upon application and substrate One 40-pound (18.1 kg) bag of MicroTek One Coat = 200 to 300 ft²
*NOTE: Finish coat coverage range varies on desired texture being created
MIXING
- Add approximately 5 quarts (4.7 liter) water to an empty 5 gallon (18.9 liter) bucket.
- Add 1 color pack of SC Color if desired. Caution: Color Packs may streak, as color particulate is larger than aggregate of mix. See SC Color TDS.
- Mix with a handheld concrete mixer, such as an Eiben-stock model #EHR 20R or a half-inch (12.7 mm) 450 – 600 rpm drill equipped with a cage mixing blade. SC Color requires comprehensive mixing in water prior to introduction of MicroTek One Coat.
- With mixer running, slowly introduce MicroTek One Coat into the pail.
- Scrape the side of the pail with a margin trowel to ensure all dry product is incorporated into the wet mix.
- Continue to mix for a minimum of one minute after all ingredients are combined to achieve a lump-free consistency.
- Additional water may be added, up to six quarts (5.7 liters) total, per 40-pound (18.1 kg) bag.
