Decorative plaster

A durable and decorative finish is achieved through the use of granular marble.

Decor
Decorative render with marble grains.
Field of Application
New substrates (interior and exterior):
- Concrete complying with standard P 18-210 (Ref: DTU 23.1),
- Concrete resurfaced with Ragrecim or Ragrefix,
- Hydraulic render complying with standard P 15.201 (Ref. DTU 26.1) or Cement'in C, Cement'in C+G or MEGA,
- Organic plasters: Scolofax

Old substrates (interior and exterior):
- Cement/lime render (floated).
- Old brickwork after removal of old paint coatings or renders
- Tyrolean finish with a Scolofax coating.
For interior coating Decor can also be applied on gypsum-based substrates (plaster, blocks or gypsum boards)
Composition
Decor is a product based on copolymer resin in an aqueous phase with marble grains and additives.
Characteristics
Decor is a decorative top coat render in an aqueous phase for interior and exterior use with marble grain texture. Decor is available in 4 standard colours.
Preparation substrate
The substrate must be hygienic, clean, dry and free of dust.
Pre-treatment with primercoat Regacryl in correspondent colours is necessary. (D25/D26/D27/D28)
During the application and drying of the render, the environment’s as well as the substrate’s temperature may not be lower than +10° C or higher than +30° C.
Decor is not to be applied under the following circumstances:
- on horizontal surfaces or on surfaces with an inclination of less than 45° C, exposed to rainfall,
- in case of rain or fog,
- on wet and bleeding substrates,
- on frozen or defrosting substrates
Application
Apply a layer of render with a stainless steel trowel. Subsequently press and smoothen by means of a flat float. Surfaces are to be coated in one single operation and finished without any interruption in order to avoid seams. Clean your tools with water and a detergent immediately after use.

Remarks
Non-toxic product complying with 91/155/EWG. The drying of decorative plasters in an aqueous phase is a physical evaporation process whose speed depends on temperature, humidity and ventilation. The drying will slow considerably at an RH higher than 70 %. The drying process will stop at saturation point (100 % RH). Heat and strong wind will accelerate evaporation and consequently the drying process. Application must be carried out in compliance with standard NF P 74-002 Ref: DTU 59.2 "Thick plastic overlays on concrete in coatings with a hydraulic binding base."
The final aspect will be achieved after the finish has completely dried out, this can take up to 3 weeks.
