High strength, one-component microcement coating, without harmful ingredients for the user and the environment. It is applied on floors and walls indoors and outdoors. Suitable for bathrooms and areas which often become wet, after the application of compatible waterproofing membrane such as SC ELASTIC, SC ELASTIC EASY or SC 200 PENETRATE. On floors, it is applied in 2 – 3 layers with NOVAMIX FIBERGLASS NET incorporation, in a minimum thickness of 3mm. Available in a white base which is mixed with NOVACOLOR DESIGN TERRA pigments.

Substrate preparation:
Cement based substrates must be compact, level, clean, free of grease, oil, laitance, and any substances which may compromise the adhesion of PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM TERRA.
Existing floor and/or wall coverings from ceramic tiles, marble, mosaics, etc. they must be securely fastened to the substrate and free of any residue which may affect adhesion. If necessary, clean the surface depending on the type of surface dirt with ALCALINE CLEANER or ACID CLEAN and rinse with clean water. Prior to laying the material, pre-apply the acrylic quartz primer PLANO CONTACT FAST. The coating follows once the primer has dried completely.
Preparation of the mix:
To obtain the desired color, the dye must be added to the water and homogenized. Then mix the contents of the PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM TERRA bag with an electric mixer at low speed for at least 3-5 minutes. The product is ready to use.
Application:
Apply two or three coats according to the desired finish. On horizontal surfaces; apply the first coat by means of a notched trowel 6 x 6 incorporating, inside the still fresh mortar, the alkali resistant NOVAMIX FIBERGLASS NET. The net incorporation is recommended also for vertical surfaces to function as a thickness indication of the coating. Apply a second coat after the coating becomes hard after 6 hours in normal conditions, ensuring that the net is fully covered. If required, an additional coating or subsequent coatings can be applied to reach the desired pattern. It is recommended to prime between coats with PLANOPRIMER diluted 1:1 with water. To obtain an extra smooth and minimal texture it is recommended to slightly sand the finished surface, to eliminate any small irregularities. The sandpaper grain size must be chosen according to the requirements.
Once the coating is complete and it is completely dry, the surface can be sealed according to the requirements of the application using one of the NOVAMIX products.
Expansion joints:
The location of the respective expansion joints depends on the use of the surface and the geometry of the area.
Recommendations:
• Apply only on solid and properly primed substrate
• Avoid application under direct sunlight and/or strong drying wind or rain
• Do not add water in quantity higher than the recommended and do not add water when the mixture starts to set
• Do not cover or apply the product over existing expansion joints of the substrate
• Do not apply the coating on substrates with rising damp or in total water immersion without substrate waterproofing
• Do not add cement, gypsum, lime or other substances which might influence the properties of the mortar.
• Don’t apply the coating on substrates and/or areas with temperature less than +5°C or higher than +35°C
• Do not apply directly over anhydrite screeds, metal or flexible substrates with high deformability and intense vibration.
• Application should be performed by professional users
Cleaning:
Tools, buckets, tiles etc. can be cleaned with fresh and clean water if, PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM TERRA is still fresh. After hardening occurs, cleaning can take place only by mechanical means.
