Description
This demonstration covers MiraGard Granite, a water-based dual component, self-crosslinking acrylic resin binder specifically designed for use as a decorative vinyl flake broadcast system to simulate the depth and texture of natural granite stone. The product is moisture vapor permeable and can be used as a beautiful decorative topcoat over new concrete or existing concrete needing repairs whether exterior, interior, slabs-on-grade or elevated slabs. It is also rapid curing and can be completed in one day with fast return to service typically in as little as only 24 hours, and offers outstanding durability and wear resistance, UV stable for superior color retention and weathering resistance, good resistance to moisture absorption, environmentally friendly and VOC compliant and water-based for easy clean-up.
Objectives:
- Learn how to beautify concrete repairs with a faux natural granite appearance
- Discover how you can utilize a decorative topcoat over previously applied waterproofing membranes
- Understand the necessary steps required to ensure proper installed microflake broadcast system
- Learn how to apply lock-down finish coats to ensure long-term durability and finish
