Granicem UL
One-coat covering mortar
Field of Application
Granicem UL can be applied by hand or machine on support surfaces of the same type as those used for traditional hydraulic coatings, mainly
- Breeze-block or brick masonry compliant with standard XP 10-202 Ref: DTU 20.1.
- White concrete compliant with standard P 18.210 (ref: DTU 23.1).
- Hydraulic coatings compliant with standard P 15.201 (ref: DTU 26.1).
- Gobetis (Cement'in C, Cement'in C+G, Cement'in Meg).
Granicem UL coatings can be used for renovation purposes or on new buildings.
Granicem UL coatings can be applied directly to the support surface, using the 'one-coat' technique.
Composition
Granicem UL is a blend of white Portland cement, aerated lime, lime sand, light mineral aggregates and additives.
Characteristics
Granicem UL is a one-coat coloured covering, ready to mix, for waterproofing and decorating facades.
Granicem UL is available in 48 colours (see colour chart). Any other colour is available on demand

Application
Application on masonry:
1. Sprayed looking and crushed looking finish
The minimum thickness of the first application should be 10 mm at all points of the covering.
This layer should be allowed to 'draw' to produce the grain, which should be obtained by spraying a second layer 3 to 5 mm thick. The crushed look is obtained by passing a flexible trowel over the crests of the coating when still fresh.
2. Scraped finish
Scraped look (not for support surface exposed to blows or accessible to the public): Apply covering in 1 or 2 applications with a total thickness of 15 mm, then smoothen, even and scrape with a plasterer's knife.
When the coating starts to harden, scrape it off uniformly using a pointed trowel or scraper. After finishing, the total thickness should be at least 12 mm.
3. Trowel finish
Spray on the first layer to a minimum thickness of 8 to 10 mm. After a waiting period of ±2 hours, spray on a second layer to a thickness of ± 5mm, even it and smoothen with a plasterer's knife. As soon as the coating has hardened, finish it off with a trowel.
Applying to concrete or coverings:
The coating is now applied by way of decoration.
The final thickness will be 7 to 8 mm.
Whatever the appearance of the finish, there must be two applications on concrete.
Application must abide by the “general conditions for the application of one-coat waterproofing coverings” CSTB specification 2669-2
