Betonokontakt - a primer for combining incompatible

Very often in the repair process there is a need to combine materials that seem completely incompatible. To an inexperienced master, such tasks may seem overwhelming, but there is a specialized substance that can help. So, for example, applied concrete contact on oil paint becomes an excellent basis for pasting wallpaper or wall cladding with ceramic tiles.

Main technical characteristics

This composition is a construction material belonging to the class of primers. Means is used to turn a smooth surface into a rough surface with excellent adhesive parameters.

The composition of concrete contact includes the following components:

• Acrylic;
• Quartz sand;
• Durable adhesive composition.

Main technical characteristics бетоноконтакта позволяют ему обладать такими параметрами, как:

• After applying to the surface of this type of primer dries very quickly. Repair work can be started after a few hours;
• This type of coating can not be moist. Also a layer of this kind can easily be attributed to the waterproofing material;
• A sufficiently long period of validity of the funds. Manufacturers claim that the product can maintain its waterproofing and adhesion functions for 80 years after application to the surface.

In order to determine which concrete contact is best, you must first familiarize yourself with the full list of technical characteristics of these tools.

Application area

The main purpose of applying the composition to the surface is to increase the level of adhesion of materials that have low absorption. Monolithic concrete, for example, is a surface that absorbs moisture poorly, which is the reason why it is problematic to apply most building materials to such a foundation.

Therefore, in order to create a high-quality finish, you first need to make a concrete contact on the base, and then plaster it.

This soil is a substance that can be used not only for the production of internal finishing works. Its use is justified in the manufacture of facade finishing, as well as for application to wood or metal.

Note! Previously, in order to increase the surface adhesion property, a bandage was used, but applying it required dexterity and special skills from the master.

Release form

In the modern market such building material is produced by a huge number of manufacturers.

But the classification of this primer is carried out depending on the forms of release:

• Ready mixIt is sold in buckets with a capacity of 5 to 20 liters. The shelf life of such a primer for about a year at above zero temperature. If the mixture has been frozen, it loses its properties and becomes unusable;

• Dry mix Available in bags of 3-5 kg. Such material is stored for about a year at a positive temperature. Opening the bag, you should be very careful and protect your airways from getting into the mixture. Exact instructions for the preparation of concrete contact should be written on the container.

Surface coating

Applying a concrete contact with your own hands is a process that does not require the acquisition of specialized tools and devices. The answer to the question of how to apply concrete contact can be either a regular brush or a paint roller.

The instruction, which stipulates how to apply concrete contact, consists of the following steps:

1. Prepare the surface by cleaning it from dust and dirt, as well as from exfoliated elements;
2. Before using this tool, the first step is to treat the concrete surface with a simple primer;

Council Application of the soil will finally remove dust from the surface and ensure good communication between the top layer and the concrete contact.

1. Wait until the primer is completely dry for concrete;
2. Next, apply the composition to the surface with a roller, spatula or ordinary brush;

Council Carefully ensure that the applied coating is smooth and uniform.

If the solution falls on a surface that you have not planned to handle, you should remove it soon. To remove the soil should be using a damp cloth. If the material is not removed in time, the primer will dry out and it will be possible to remove it only using mechanical methods of surface treatment.

Drying time of concrete contact is several hours. Be careful, because after 1 hour it may seem that the surface is dry, but if you start to make further work, you can damage the created layer.

Council In order to determine whether the coating has dried, it is sufficient to hold a metal spatula over the surface. If the coating is peeled off, the surface must be left until it dries out.

The use of concrete contact is advisable only if further surface treatment is carried out in a short time, because with time this coating becomes covered with dust, which impairs adhesion.

Council If after applying a concrete contact to the surface more than two days have passed, then you should first treat it with a primer and only then finish.

Soil consumption

In order to correctly calculate the amount of this substance to cover the surface of the required area and find out what its price will be, you need to know the consumption of funds per 1 m2:

• For surfaces of solid and highly porous (plaster, screed, concrete, brick laying) - the soil is consumed in the amount of 300-500 ml per 1 m2;

Council If the base for coating this primer has a high porosity, then you should first treat it with non-chemical impregnation of deep penetration into the surface.

• If the surface has a medium porosity (high-strength concrete monolith, vibrated concrete slab, self-leveling and self-leveling floors) - 200-350 ml of product per 1m2 surface;
• Low-porous bases (tile tile, oil paint, fiberboard, chipboard) - on average per 1 m2 of 150-250 ml.

How to save on the ground

The cost of this building material is not so high as to try to save on its purchase. If you try to reduce the consumption of this tool, then as a result, the created coating can lose strength characteristics, partially crack or even peel off.

Also, a reduction in consumption will lead to a decrease in the adhesive parameters of the coating and reduce the resistance of the layer to moisture.

Finally

This type of soil is a necessary and simply indispensable material for construction, which is used by builders to create high-quality surface finishes. In addition to the excellent adhesive parameters of the coating created with the help of this tool, and how fast the concrete contact dries quickly, it can be used in the process of construction and repair work without a significant increase in the time allotted for the production of works.
