Is Microcement Waterproof?

Construction News Image
"Yes, micro cement is a durable and waterproof modern finish that is made to last for dozens of years when you apply and protect it properly," says Dmitri Vorobjov, trainer and head technician at Impera Italia.

We hope that you’re going to find it valuable information that the microcement offered by Impera Italia is of the highest quality and has been meticulously tested for resistance against water penetration by Colorificio San Marco in Italy, one of the largest manufacturers of microcement products in the world. Their samples were coated with the unique, bi-component resin, included in every kit, and lasted when water was sprayed on them without any sign of damage or penetration.

But what's more important, you can rest easy knowing that it has been used successfully countless times in the last six years by interior designers, applicators and end-users worldwide for its waterproof nature on a variety of different surfaces.

As microcement does not absorb water, it can be used on kitchen worktops, bathrooms, on surfaces where polished concrete could not be applied. It can also be used on top of wood, metal or even furniture where the mesh and microcement base prevent cracking if the substrate is solid enough.

When you choose the Impera Italia solution, you do not get a cheap microcement powder and a large tub of low-quality resin like many other resellers offer, but a superior, ready-mixed formulation where the powder only acts as a stabiliser! Continue to find out how to make the finished surface resistant to dirt and moisture with this system.
