Elasticity
We guaranteeNON-STRIPPING. The elastic characteristics of Topciment microcements
withstand slight deformations if applied correctly. In the event of cracks, the warranty does not
cover defects caused by cracking of the substrate.
Physical resistance
Microcement is comparable to natural wood parquet. However, in terms of resistance to scratches,
knocks and wear and tear, tests carried out in accordance with EN standards show that its
performance far exceeds that of most natural wood parquets. The warranty does not cover
deterioration caused by customer misuse, such as knocks, scratches, cuts or similar damage.
We recommend downloading and printing these instructions for maintenance and cleaning of
microcement
.
Chemical resistance
Microcement cladding has good RESISTANCE TO CHEMICAL PRODUCTS for cleaning; but
we recommend the use of Ecoclean or Ecoclean PRO for cleaning and Ceraciment or Ceraciment PRO
for maintenance. As it is a continuous, seamless coating, cleaning is much easier.
Anti-slip
Thanks to the variety of microcements and their different textures, it is possible to adapt the
type of finish according to the required use and location. Smoother for interiors and rougher
for wet areas and exteriors.
We certify a high slip resistance, synonymous with safety.
Fire resistance
The reaction to fire of building materials is the behaviour of a material to fire according to
its contribution to the development of fire. This behaviour is classified according to the
CTE SI regulation.
What is the CTE SI regulation? It is a set of standards and protocols required
of construction elements in their different situations and uses. Together with the CE
marking, we certify the safety of our material in case of fire.
The Microfino wall system, with all its layers, including the sealing, obtains the
B-S1,d0 classification.
The Microdeck flooring system, with all layers including sealing, is rated
Bfl-S1.
The classification used by the Technical Code is defined by the following parameters:
Contribution to the spread of fire.
A1: Non-combustible; not contributing to
fire to the maximum extent.
A2: Non-combustible; not contributing to fire to a lesser
extent.
B: Combustible with very limited contribution to fire.
C: Combustible with limited
contribution to fire.
D: Fuel with medium contribution to fire.
E: Fuel with high
contribution to fire.
F: Not classified.
Opacity of smoke produced.
s1: Low opacity.
s2: Medium opacity.
s3 :
High opacity.
Droplet or flaming particulate fallout.
d0: No production.
d1:
Medium production.
d2: Medium production.
According to application.
Without subindex for roof and wall materials.
With FL subindex for floor materials.
With FL subindex for floor materials.
With FL subindex for wall
materials.
Adherence
Topciment guarantees GREAT ADHERENCE of its microcements on any type of surface,
including tiles or glass, thanks to its formulation.
Colour stability
The dyes used to give colour to the microcement are of mineral origin, which are the ones
that behave best against the alkalinity of the cement, the weather and sunlight. For
this reason, they remain stable without suffering obvious alterations.
The varnishes used for sealing are aliphatic. Their chemical composition makes them a
hard finish and highly resistant to ultraviolet rays, so they do not yellow in sunlight
Impermeability
Thanks to the sealants we apply to the finish of our microcements, we manage to increase
their hardness and resistance. We obtain waterproof and damp-resistant surfaces, very
suitable for bathrooms and showers.
