DIAMANTE METALLICO STAGNO

Description

DIAMANTE METALLICO is a metallic finish with decorative effect and protective properties.
In particular, it provides the substrate with maximum protection, washability and scratch-resistance properties, as well
as decorative enrichment and resistance to continuous water contact.

DIAMANTE METALLICO is available in the following versions:
– METALLICO STAGNO (SILVER finish)
– METALLICO OTTONE (GOLD finish)
– METALLICO BRONZO (BRONZE finish)
– METALLICO RAME (COPPER finish)

Nature of product: Epoxy. Operating temperature from -10°C. to +40°C.

APPLICATION

Ccatalysis ratio: Combine 200 parts by weight of DIAMANTE METALLICO with 120 parts by weight of DIAMANTE

CATALIZZATORE.
DILUTION: Ready to use
COVERAGE RATE:
Depending on the substrate … The performance is very variable as DIAMANTE METALLICO can be applied on different supports,
smooth or rough. On average 4-5 sqm per kg if the surface is smooth, if rough depending on the surface the performance can be
very variable from 1 sqm to 3 sqm. Please contact the supplier for further information.
COATS: 2 coats with ABILE LUX stainless steel trowel.
APPLICATION: Start the preparation of DIAMANTE Metallico by mixing the metal component with the catalyst, taking care to mix
the two parts by hand, or better, with an electric mixer.
Processing time once catalyzed 20-30 minutes.
It is advisable, therefore, to catalyze one kit at a time.
WARNING: When mixing another kit, clean the tools used for the previous mixing well.
If the mixing tool should have traces of product from the previous kit, it could have an unwanted chemical reaction such as
accelerating the catalysis of the new mixture, which could therefore be unusable.
Another undesirable effect could be that the product gets too hot and could lead to smoke formation.
Once mixed thoroughly DIAMANTE METALLICO ( following all recommendations carefully), apply 1 coat of the product with
« ABILE LUX » trowel on the whole surface.
During application avoid going back to smooth the product. For this reason it is recommended to apply a thin layer of product. Any
imperfections will be covered and fixed with the second coat.
SCHEDA TECNICA N°342
Allow to dry for at least 24 hours according to temperature.
During this phase the surface may heat up, but this should not give any worry as it is a normal reaction typical of an epoxy product.
Once dry and cooled, apply a second coat of DIAMANTE METALLICO trying to follow the same procedure as the first coat.
In addition to the smooth application, the product can be applied in other ways according to the applicator’s imagination: for
example, once DIAMANTE METALLICO has been applied with the EXOTIC or ABILE LUX ONDA trowel, it is possible to create
scratched effects.
You can also apply several colours at the same time, in this case the colours will blend together to create quite original marble
effects.
For any further information contact the supplier or see the tutorial on Rivedil’s YouTube channel.
Use an orbital sander to smooth the entire surface using a 240 grit sandpaper.
Repeat last point with sandpaper 500 grit
Repeat last stitch with sandpaper 800 grit
Repeat the last point with sandpaper 1500 grit
Repeat the last point with sandpaper 3000. grit
The purpose of sanding with increasingly thinner sandpaper is to make the surface where the DIAMANTE METALLICO has been
applied more and more smooth.
With each sanding with thinner and thinner sandpaper, less and less time will be required.
Now polish with the polisher after applying some abrasive paste on the surface.
Make a final polish with the CERA D’ARTE NEUTRA produced by Rivedil.
Let it dry completely to appreciate the final metallic polished effect.
