Cement’in C
Cement-based base coat render
Field of Application
Cement'in C is a cement based render for application as a water-repellent basecoat for all mineral or organic Cantillana finishes. The use of Cement’in C is recommended in damp environments or poorly ventilated areas (showers, cellars and laundries). Cement’in C can also be used as a base coat before tiling.
Cement'in C can be applied on any suitably prepared vertical substrate such as: brick- or blockwork, concrete, …. The mechanical characteristics of the substrate should be at least equivalent to those of Cement'in C.
Weak substrates (such as lightweight concrete or old masonry erected on weak mortars) should not be used. In this case the use of Cement'in Mega is recommended.
Cement’in C must not be used on gypsum plaster or previously painted or waterproofed surfaces.
 
Composition
Cement'in C is a factory-mixed blend of Portland cement, graded river sand, additives and admixtures.
Characteristics
Cement'in C is a premixed, cement­based dry mortar, designed to be used as a water-repellent basecoat for all mineral or organic Cantillana finishes. Cement'in C has excellent impact resistance characteristics.
Preparation substrate
Substrates should be stable, sound, clean and dust free. The render is always applied to a pre­moistened substrate. Always allow the water film to drain off. Surfaces with high or mixed porosity such as existing renders and old brick- or blockwork should receive a previous coating of Cement’in P. Smooth concrete should be pre-treated with Betoprim.
When applying the render and during the hardening process, the ambient temperature, as well as that temperature of the substrate, should not be lower than 5°C or higher than 30°C. The render should not be applied to a wall which is frozen, thawing or likely to freeze in the hours following application. The freshly applied render must be protected from unfavorable weather conditions such as rain, direct sunlight or wind.
 
Application
Cement'in C can be applied manually or sprayed mechanically on the substrate.
Apply 1 or 2 coats of Cement'in C, level out and compress the render with a trowel as much as its consistency allows. Average thickness of the coating: 12 to 15 mm. If necessary, a reinforcement mesh (metal or glass fiber) can be incorporated in the base coat. Allow 1 day drying time per mm thickness before over coating with an organic render or paint.
The application may vary according to the characteristics of the substrate and the specific characteristics of the finishing coat. In dry, hot or windy weather, dampen the surface by steaming in order to prevent drying out. Protect freshly applied surface from heavy rain, drying winds and strong sunlight.

Cement’in P
Cement-based mortar
Field of Application
Cement'in P is used to create a good key for rendering onto difficult substrates such as smooth or dense concrete or blockwork. Cement'in P can be applied on any vertical masonry or concrete support. Smooth concretes will be given a prior treatment with Betoprim. It is also used to even out the absorption of substrates with high or mixed porosity such as existing renders and old brick- or blockwork. Cement’in P must not be used on gypsum plaster or previously painted or waterproofed surfaces.
The mechanical characteristics of the substrate should be at least equivalent to those of Cement'in P. Weak substrates (such as lightweight concrete or old masonry erected on weak mortars) should not be used. In this case the use of Cement'in Mega is recommended.
 
Composition
Cement'in P is a factory­mixed blend of Portland cement, graded river sand, additives and admixtures.
Characteristics
Cement'in P is a premixed, cement­based dry mortar, designed to provide a good key and a uniform absorption on heterogeneous or low suction substrates.
Preparation substrate
Substrates should be stable, sound, clean and dust free. The render is always applied to a pre­moistened substrate. Always allow the water film to drain off.
When applying the render and during the hardening process, the ambient temperature, as well as that temperature of the substrate, should not be lower than 5°C or higher than 30°C. The render should not be applied to a wall which is frozen, thawing or likely to freeze in the hours following application. The freshly applied render must be protected from unfavorable weather conditions such as rain, direct sunlight or wind.
 
Application
Apply Cement'in P as forcefully as possible onto the substrate or, preferably, spray mechanically. The key coat should be ± 3mm thick and cover the substrate without overloading. The surface of Cement'in P should remain rough and not be subjected to any additional treatment (smoothing, trowelling, etc.). Depending on the porosity of the background and the weather conditions, allow to cure for 2 – 5 days before over coating.
In general, when the surface assumes a light grey colour, Cement’in P can be covered with a basecoat render of the Cement'in range, or a thick coat decorative render from the Granicem range.
In dry, hot or windy weather, dampen the surface with a fine spray of clean water to prevent early drying out. Protect freshly applied surface from heavy rain, drying winds and strong sunlight.

It has been tested according to test certificate nr. 21 1430 0 98­01 MPA NRW (Materialprüfanstalt Nordrhein­Westfalen). Cement'in SP3 is distinguished by its high strength, not take any water at all and can already be tiled on after approx. 2­7 days (dependent of weather conditions) with ceramic tiles, concrete tiles or natural stone etc.
Preparation substrate
Concrete substrates must at least be 6 months old. The substrate must be prepared according to DIN 18550 part 2. It must be clean, stable, sound and free of dust, oils, grease or other residues. Mechanically roughen the substrates if needed, e.g. brush, mill or sandblast. Strongly absorbing substrates must be sufficiently wetted or must be primed with Poroprim.
Application
Apply the fresh mortar evenly onto the prepared substrate in a 15¬-20 mm single layer. When a subsequent lying with ceramic tiles etc. has been planned, the render may only be rubbed or combed – not smoothed. After completing the activities, mixer, pump and hoses must be emptied and cleaned immediately. Important notice: Process only at temperatures (substrate temperatures) of + 5 °C to + 25 °C.
