Micro-Top Tech Bulletin

The Paving Innovators

Micro-Top by Bomanite is a unique two part cementitious material that will tenaciously bond to virtually any substrate including concrete, asphalt, wood, metal, and plastic. Micro-Top is a combination of a liquid polymer and a colored powder mixture. The material can be applied with a squeegee or troweled onto the surface at a thickness of approximately 20 mils (less than the thickness of a credit card). A wide range of colors can be applied to create uniformity or blended to create variegation in the finish. In many cases, Micro-Top can eliminate costly abrasive blasting required by other materials, as well as reduce costly forming and coloring in outdoor treatments. Limitless color combinations and graphic designs can be used to transform damaged existing concrete or other materials into cementitious art forms, without affecting surrounding materials and fixtures.

COVERAGE GUIDELINES:

All Colors

Under normal conditions, 1 gallon (3.8 L) of Micro-Top Liquid when mixed with 2 gallons (7.6 L) of Micro-Top Powder will provide approximately 100 square feet of two coat coverage. Three or more coats may be necessary on spalled, badly damaged or textured surfaces.

PACKAGING:

Standard Package	Standard package consists of three units – one 5 gallon (18.9 L) container of Micro-Top Liquid and two 5 gallon (18.9 L) moisture-resistant containers of Micro-Top Powder.
Pony Pack	Pony Pack is packaged as one unit – 1 gallon (3.8 L) of Micro-Top Liquid surrounded by 2 gallons (7.6 L) of Micro-Top Powder, all shipped within a 5 gallon (18.9 L) moisture-resistant container.
Sample Kit	Sample Kit is packaged as one unit – 1 quart (0.95 L) of Micro-Top Liquid surrounded by 2 quarts (1.9 L) of Micro-Top Powder, all shipped within a 1 gallon (3.8 L) moisture-resistant container.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Colors	25 standard See Bomanite Color Hardener/Release Agent Color Chart
Limitations	Certain aggressive stains, such as animal waste, proteins and hydraulic fluids, may produce "shadowing" in the finished flooring. Any of these materials found on the substrate should be cleaned with an appropriate cleaner and then sealed with a water-based epoxy. Micro-Top will bond tenaciously to foreign materials that are bonded to the substrate, but the ultimate bond strength of Micro-Top is dependent on the bond strength of the foreign material.
Cautions	Keep out of the reach of children. Contains Portland Cement and free silica. See Material Safety Data Sheet for complete information.
