With these results, technicians will be able to choose, depending on the slipperiness needs, the system to meet the requirements of the the system to meet the requirements of the standards. Having said That said, it should be borne in mind that the Microcement is applied in situ, the hand of the hand of the applicator influences the final result, so the results we give can only be understood as reference values. can only be understood as reference values.
