Description
Cemcote is a finely ground mixture of white Portland cement, pigments and chemicals. It is supplied in powder form requiring mixing with water on-site to produce a smooth, flowing coating which sets rock-hard and is unaffected by water and UV light.
Purpose
To provide a tough, economical coating for direct application to off-shutter concrete, cement plaster, cement wash, fairface brickwork, etc..
Types
Supplied in one type only, but can be used in conjunction with CemBond when application is to friable surfaces.
Specifying
"Apply two coats of Cemcote using a large paint brush, to a hard, clean surface that has been damped down for the first coat. Allow first coat to dry and harden for at least one day before applying a second coat. All in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions."
Applications
Recommended for both interiors and exteriors of homes, factories, outbuildings, boundary walls, underground in mines and inside reservoirs. Is particularly useful for the treatment of off-shutter concrete to improve the uniformity of colour.
Suitable surfaces
Can be applied to concrete, cement plaster, cement wash, bricks, blocks and natural stone.
Specimen finish
A trial area should be treated on-site for the architect's approval.

Weather
Do not apply to exteriors if rain is expected or if there is a risk of frost.
Surface preparation
All surfaces to be clean and hard. Previous applications of paint or limewash to be removed and the cleaned surface primed with a solution of 1 volume CemBond and 5 volumes water. The diluted Cembond solution should also be used to mix the Cemcote instead of water. For underwater structures, such as swimming pools, CemBond should not be used. Consult our Technical Department for further information.
Mixing
Roll drum before opening to loosen contents. To 3 volumes Cemcote stir in thoroughly 1 volume water until a smooth paste is formed. Add 1 further volume water, mix to a paint and apply within 1 hour. Additional water might be necessary if the surface being treated is absorbent and rough.
Application
Absorbent surfaces to be damped down before applying the first coat. The second coat to be applied to a dry first coat. Use a large paintbrush (not a limewash brush or roller).
Curing
During hot, dry weather it is advisable to wet each coat twice during the day following the day of application.
Coverage
Between 2 and 5m2 per kg/coat depending on suction and texture of the surface.
