QUARTZ DECO aggregates • The application of QUARTZ DECO colors Mediterranean Coast and Aegean Mosaic on walls is not recommended. To apply these colors on floors, please consult our Technical Support Team. • Please make sure that the quartz aggregates are completely dry, as they are available in their factory sealed packaging, before mixing them with binding resins. • When choosing QUARTZ DECO aggregates, it is recommended to select from the same production batch to ensure a uniform aesthetic result. • The mixing of different grain size quartz aggregates reduces the gaps/voids that can form during the application of large grain size colors. QUARTZ DECO + QUARTZ DECO EPOXY • When the application is on floor surfaces that may be affected by rising damp or in swimming pools, bathrooms and showers, first waterproof the substrate using the flexible waterproofing mortar D-1 FLEX of DUROSTICK, available in white or gray color. • Swimming pools and fountains are filled with water, at least 7 days after the application completion. For additional protection, apply the two-component epoxy varnish in gloss finish DECOFIN EPOXY SF of DUROSTICK. The same product is necessary for the protection of the application when it concerns bathrooms or showers. • After all exterior pool applications, protect the applied product from intense sunlight, rain, and frost for up to 72 hours. • Low temperatures slow down the curing of the mixture, while increased temperatures speed it up. • Until fully cured, the product should not be exposed to moisture and dust. QUARTZ DECO + QUARTZ DECO PU • Do not apply if there is a chance of rain or frost within the next 72 hours. • Surfaces must not be cleaned with water before the application and must be completely dry during the application. • After the application on exterior floors is completed, protect the mixture from intense sunlight, rain, and frost for up to 72 hours. • Low or high temperatures change the curing time of the mixture. • The mixture must not be exposed to moisture and dust until it is fully cured. QUARTZ DECO + QUARTZ DECO HYBRID • When choosing QUARTZ DECO aggregates, it is recommended to select from the same production batch to ensure a uniform aesthetic result. • Protect for approximately 24 hours after the application completion the fresh surface from direct exposure to the sun and rain, as well as strong wind. • Low temperatures and/or high moisture levels will increase the curing time of the mixture. • To avoid the appearance of seams do not stop the application process on uniformed/large surfaces. • During the mixing process between the quartz aggregates and the QUARTZ DECO HYBRID resin, the color differs from the final surface color. The final color is formed after 3-5 hours. • On surfaces affected by increased moisture loads, and once the application is 58 TIPS & TRICKS completed and they are thoroughly dry, apply either the two-component polyurethane varnish DECOFIN POLYURETHANE or the acrylic varnish VISTA of DUROSTICK. • For application on substrates possibly affected by rising damp, consult with our Technical Support Team. • A 6.6kg resin container is suitable for a 20kg bag of QUARTZ DECO aggregates. • DUROSTICK also has available for purchase a 32lt mixing container, as well as specialty stainless steel trowels, suitable for these types of applications. Avoid mixing the products in metal container. • When mixing the binding resin with the QUARTZ DECO aggregates with grain size less than 2mm, it is recommended to wear protective glasses, clothing and gloves. • The mixture can be used for up to 10 days after its homogenization, as long as it is stored in a tightly closed container.
