Fair-Faced Concrete
Dry Mix Finishes
Dry powder fair-faced concrete is a dry powder material primarily made from natural inorganicminerals. It contains binders (such as cement), carefully selected fine aggregates (such as sand) and coarse aggregates (such as gravel), as well as inorganic mineral functional additives to improve workability and durability. It requires mixing with water for use. It is a high-end decorative concrete designed to recreate the simple, natural, and composed appearance and inherent qualities of traditional bare-faced concrete. Its decorative effect, known as "noble simplicity," expresses unique architectural emotion and artistic effect through the material's inherent softness, hardness, warmth, and coolness.

Fair-Faced Concrete Features
1. Outstanding decorative and aesthetic properties: It can present a realistic original ecological cement effect, with uniform color, natural texture, and visual mottled layering, combining simple and delicate modern and classical aesthetic styles.
2. Excellent physical properties: The product has high viscosity, high strength, is not easy to crack and has good wear resistance. It can also be effectively combined with a variety of substrates with strong adhesion.
3. Durability and strong weather resistance: It has excellent anti-aging, acid and alkali resistance, weather resistance of more than 20 years, and excellent resistance to freeze-thaw cycles. It can withstand salt, acid and alkali corrosion, and can also inhibit mold growth and resist color spots.
4. Environmentally friendly, healthy and safe: Made from natural inorganic minerals, it is non-toxic and odorless, with extremely low VOC content. No harmful elements such as volatile organic matter, free formaldehyde and heavy metals have been detected. In addition, it uses inorganic gelling materials and has good fire retardant properties.
5. Comprehensive functionality: It has excellent waterproof, moisture-proof, mildew-proof and dryness-resistant properties, and can inhibit the growth of various molds, it has one-way breathability, which can block the penetration of external harmful substances and discharge internal moisture, at the same time, it has good self-cleaning and anti-fouling properties, is resistant to scrubbing and easy to wash, and is easy to clean.
Dry-mixed plain concrete is widely used in interior and exterior decoration of buildings that pursue a simple and natural aesthetic (such as residential walls and floors, commercial space interiors, building exterior walls and courtyards), public spaces with high traffic flow (such as shopping malls, art galleries, and subway stations), and special scenarios with requirements such as waterproofing and mildew resistance.
Fair-Faced Concrete Construction Guidelines
1. Roll on 1 time penetrating primer.
2. Roll on 2 time odorless find sand-containing midcoat of same color.
3. Apply the first time fair-faced concrete coarse sand/fine sand.
4. Once completely dry, apply the time fair-faced concrete coarse sand/fine sand.
5. Once 70% to 80% dry, use a sanding knife to sand the surface in different directions to create a mottled effect. Once completely dry, sand with 600-grit sandpaper.
6. Roll on 1 time topcoat.
