One of the particularities of micro concrete compared to other decorative coatings is its high
resistance and hardness. In the cases of Sttandard Microdeck, Sttandard Microstone and Evolution
Microdeck, they can even be used in high traffic areas.
Many factors can influence the resistance and hardness of this coating, such as: the substrate on
which the micro concrete will be applied, the type of micro concrete selected or the sealer, among others.

Mechanical resistance
Micro concrete resistance to impact:
Although micro concrete is a relatively hard material, resistance to impact depends to a certain
extent on the hardness of the substrate. micro concrete, due to its low thickness, will deform in
the event of a strong blow if the support is deformed.
For example, if we apply micro concrete on plaster and the base is deformed because it is not
very resistant, the micro concrete will also deform. On the other hand, if we apply micro concrete
on terrazzo or similar substrates, the resistance of the micro concrete will be greater.
Resistance of micro concrete to abrasion and wear: The resistance of
micro concrete to abrasion or wear also depends on the type of micro concrete and the sealant used.
Topciment has three continuous floor coverings available: Sttandard MicroDeck and MicroStone,
Evoluttion Microdeck and Efectto Medium. All are coatings with selected aggregates of larger
particle size, making them more resistant to compression and abrasion.
Sttandard and Evoluttion Microfino or Efectto Small, due to their lower resistance, are
reserved for wall cladding. As for the sealers, although the resistances are the same, the
higher the gloss, the more visible the wear marks are. Matt finishes do not reflect light or
reflect it minimally and satin finishes are the most natural.
Chemical resistance
Resistance of micro concrete to stains and
liquids: The resistance of micro concrete to stains and liquids will depend on the
sealant used to protect the coating. The sealer is the final layer of the micro concrete
application, which is what makes it waterproof and protects it from stains. Our Topsealer
sealers are highly resistant to stains and liquids. According to the different tests carried
out, Topsealers protect against oil, cola, red wine and similar stains.
Micro concrete stains
from vinegar or lemon juice leave slight marks after two hours of exposure. This surface is
affected by acid just like marble, although if we act by cleaning quickly, no marks will be
left. Stains from salfumán, pure bleach, acetone and ammonia leave marks after half an hour
of exposure. However, if we clean the micro concrete quickly, no marks will be left. The
texture of the micro concrete and the difficulty of cleaning must also be taken into account.
