DESCRIPTION:
VITRICOLOR MARBLE FINISH is a spray applied, simulated marble
finish in a 100% acrylic binder.
USES:
MARBLE FINISH is a durable interior, exterior finish which
may be applied over masonry, stucco, precast or cast-in-place concrete, cement block,
gypsum sheathing and other approved substrates.
CHARACTERISTICS:
Drying Time - The drying time of MARBLE FINISH is
dependent upon the air temperature and relative humidity. Under average drying conditions
(70º F, 55% R.H.), protect work from rain for at least 24 hours.
Water Vapor Transmission (ASTM-5-96) - MARBLE FINISH is
permeable to moisture vapor.
Accelerated Weathering (ASTM G-23) - passes 2000 hours.
Flame Spread (ASTM E-84) - less than 25, Class 1.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
- Surfaces must be smooth and free of imperfections to insure
satisfactory appearance.
- Color coordinated Vitricoat shall be applied to all substrates
at least four hours prior to application of MARBLE FINISH.
- Exterior surfaces must not be below 40º F and must be clean, dry,
structurally sound, and free of efflorescence, grease, oil, form release agents and curing
compounds.
- Interior surfaces must not be below 40º F and must be clean, dry,
structurally sound, and free of efflorescence, grease, oil, form release agents and curing
compounds. Painted interior surfaces must be lightly sanded before the application of Vitricoat.
- Concrete shall cure a minimum of 28 days prior to application
of MARBLE FINISH. If efflorescence, form release agents, or curing compounds are
present on the concrete surface, the surface shall be thoroughly washed with muriatic acid
and flushed to remove residual acid. All projections shall be removed and small voids
filled.
- Masonry: The masonry surface, with joints struck flush, shall
be "skim coated" to produce a smooth, level surface.
- Stucco: MARBLE FINISH shall be applied over the cured brown
coat. If additives are present in the stucco, a test patch shall be made and bond strength
checked prior to application.
APPLICATION:
Mixing - Mix to MARBLE FINISH for 1 to 1/2 minutes to
insure uniformity using a Goldblatt Jiffer Mixer powered by a 1/2" drill, 400-500
RPM, just prior to application.
Application - Apply using a hopper gun. Apply two coats (one
horizontally, one vertically) to achieve uniformity.
At sealant joint the MARBLE FINISH shall be trowelled smooth
and the joint sealed with a low modulus sealant capable of +/-50% movement. Joint width
should be a minimum of 3/4". After application of the appropriate sealant primer, the
sealant must be properly tooled into the joint to assure that it is in direct contact with
the finish. Contact Vitricon® for specific information.
Clean up - Clean tools with water while MARBLE FINISH
is still wet.
Temporary Protection - Shall be provided at all times until
the base coat, finish and permanent flashings, sealants, etc. are completed to protect the
wall from weather and other damage.
COVERAGE:
Approximately 125 square feet per pail
CAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS:
- MARBLE FINISH must not be used on exposed exterior horizontal
surfaces. Minimum slope is 6" in 12".
- When used below grade, backfill with well draining materials. Do not
use as waterproofing.
- Minor color deviation due to raw material variations can occur. To
achieve the best color results, material from the same batch number should be applied to a
specific wall section. Therefore, check batch numbers before applying materials.
- Consult manufacturers safety data sheets prior to usage.
STORAGE
MARBLE FINISH must be stored at 40º or above in tightly
sealed containers out of direct sunlight.
