MARBLECRETE and MARBLETITE
are traditional cementitious exterior textured finish
coats. They provide a variety of textures and can be
colorized to meet a variety of aesthetic demands. MARBLECRETE
is a silica based product for economy applications.
MARBLETITE is a marble
based product for high end applications.

MARBLECRETE and MARBLETITE
are the finishes of choice when long lasting, hard,
durable, colorized, textured surfaces are required.
MARBLECRETE can only be
trowel applied. MARBLETITE can
be spray or trowel applied and can be floated to achieve
a fine sanded texture. Both finish products preclude
the need for paint, as color is integral throughout
the finish. They are highly rot resistant and designed
to be applied to cementitious base coats in a large
variety of textures.
Surface Preparation
MARBLECRETE and MARBLETITE
can be applied over the following surfaces:
A) PM Concentrate, PM
Concentrate WS or a cement based plaster/stucco as specified
in ASTM C-926-98 is required to establish a substrate.
Adicote bonding agent should be used to enhance the
mechanical bond and color uniformity prior to the application
of the finish coat. Consult your local building code
manual for scratch/brown coat thickness. MARBLECRETE
and MARBLETITE cannot
be applied directly to concrete block (CMU)
surfaces.
B) Pour-in-place concrete
is an acceptable substrate provided that all release
agents have been cleaned, neutralized and a coating
of Adicote bonding agent is applied prior to the application
of the finish coat.
C) Unsound painted cementitious
surfaces that show signs of chipping or peeling must
be sandblasted and scratch coated prior to the application
of the finish texture coats. All surfaces to be stuccoed
must be absolutely free from dirt, grease, oil, dust
and any other foreign material that may prevent proper
bonding, and be without deficiencies so that the wall
plane varies no more than ¼" in 12 feet.
Control and/or expansion joints must be installed in
accordance with the Portland Cement Association's standards
to alleviate cracking.
Measuring equal amounts of water and mixing for equal
amounts of time from batch to batch will ensure product
consistency from batch to batch. Boxing different batch
#'s will ensure final color uniformity. MARBLECRETE
and MARBLETITE will require
approximately 2 ¼ to 2 ½ gallons of potable
water per bag. Start the mixing
process by adding 2/3 of the total required water to
the mixer. Add the appropriate amount of MARBLECRETE
or MARBLETITE and then
add the remaining 1/3 of the required water along with
the pre-packaged liquid color. Mix for 5-8 minutes to
bring the material to a workable consistency. Any addition
of other materials could be harmful to the performance
of the finished product. Keep tools and equipment clean
between batches.
The uniformity, color and finished results will depend
on the proper preparation of the substrate and the consistency
of mixing at the jobsite. Substrate and ambient temperatures
must be between 45°F (7°C)
and 100°F (38°C)
during application and curing.
For all methods of application, the finish coat should
be kept damp by
fogging or misting for 48 hours after application to ensure
proper curing. If colored finish is used, do not fog or
mist until the next morning.

MARBLECRETE
and MARBLETITE are
not to be considered waterproofing products. |
|
These products are cement based and
as such, cracking or color variations are not considered
product defects and are not warrantable. |
|
Too much water or over wetting the
mix will result in separation, texture
variation, color inconsistency, low strength and
cracking. |
|
DO NOT spray dark colors. |
|
DO NOT float MARBLECRETE
finishes. |
