MINERTEX

Mineral Based Decorative Coating

MINERTEX is a decorative, mineral based wall texture applied over cement base coats to provide a weatherproof, water repellent surface. MINERTEX is characterized by extremely high vapor permeability and therefore provides high bonding capability even under high vapor conditions. MINERTEX coatings are not thermoplastic and are therefore highly resistant to dirt pickup.

MINERTEX-R has a 3 mm aggregate which, when floated, produces
a grooved finish texture.
MINERTEX-P has a 3 mm aggregate which, when floated, produces
a pebbled finish texture.

Advantages
Color is an integral part of the coating
Available in a wide range of colors
Long term durability
High vapor permeability

Mixing Mechanically mix one bag of MINERTEX with 5 to 6 quarts of water, then re-mix after 2 minutes.

Application Using a stainless steel trowel, apply MINERTEX onto the wall to a thickness equal to the size of the largest aggregate. After a few minutes float the coating using a plastic float, in a vertical, horizontal, or circular motion to achieve the desired texture.

Precautions To prevent cold joints, apply finish in complete areas and schedule stops at naturally occurring breaks and joints. Do not apply if temperature is expected to drop below 40o F within 24 hours of applications

Drying Time Drying time depends on temperature and humidity and normally dries within 24 hours.

Cleaning May be cleaned with water prior to drying. Protect other surfaces from contact with coating.

Coloring White or colored as shown on color cards. Custom colors are available upon request. To guarantee uniformity of color, the finished surface may be painted. One coat of EQUICOAT may be used to equalize the surface appearance.
