Euromix™ Concrete Finish
Euromix™ Concrete Finish is a flexible, water based, fine build, durable acrylic polymer topping and patching compound. It is designed to achieve a polished “concrete“ finish over suitable prepared building substrates.
Product Summary
Euromix™ Concrete Finish is a flexible, smooth decorative finishing compound, developed for creating authentic polished and off-form concrete-inspired architectural finishes over suitably prepared building substrate.
Euromix™ Concrete Finish is supplied in three concrete tones: Light (20%), Medium (40%) and Dark (60%). Specially developed to simulate the natural colour and appearance of cured concrete. Euromix™ Concrete Finish may also be used for minor rectification, facing-up and surface preparation where a smooth, fine-build finish is required.
Euromix™ Concrete Finish is suitable for both interior & exterior applications when applied as part of an appropriate Euromix coating system.
Product Name
Euromix™ Concrete Finish.
Code
CONCFIN20, CONCFIN40,
CONCFIN60
Packaging
5 litre & 15 litre plastic buckets.
Appearance
A smooth, wet, fine-grained acrylic plaster. When applied using the recommended application technique, the finished surface produces a natural polished or off-form concrete-inspired appearance with characteristic tonal movement and variation.
Application
Apply an initial build-up coat of Euromix™ Concrete Finish using a clean stainless-steel trowel over the entire prepared surface. Apply using discontinuous strokes to begin creating the desired movement and pattern.
The initial build-up coat may be approximately 0.5-1.0mm thick where required to adequately cover the prepared rendered surface.
Allow the first coat to fully dry before lightly sanding to remove imperfections or prominent marks.
Apply a further two coats or as required to achieve the desired appearance, using a small stainless-steel trowel. Apply the material in very thin, tight layers using discontinuous and overlapping strokes to progressively create the required depth, pattern and tonal movement.
Proceed to the polishing stage by repeatedly passing a clean stainless-steel trowel over the finished surface using controlled pressure until the desired highlights and polished appearance are achieved.
The final appearance will vary depending on the selected Concrete Finish tone, application technique, trowel movement, pressure and number of coats.
A suitable Euromix-approved protective sealer should be applied to protect the completed decorative finish, particularly for exterior applications or areas subject to weather and moisture.

Drying and Curing
Avoid applying Euromix™ Concrete Finish in windy conditions or where temperatures are outside the range 10°C to 30°C. Do not apply if rain or frost is imminent or likely before the product has properly dried. Where rain or other exposure to moisture is likely, the coating must be protected for at lea 24 hours.
Drying and curing of the product is affected by substrate type, dryness and porosity, temperature, humidity and ventilation and should therefore be treated as a guide (at approximately 25C & 50% RH):
Touch Dry
1 to 2 hours.
Recoat
Approximately 2 hours.
Curing time
Approximately 4 to 5 days, depending on weather.
Recommended Products
Euromix™ Sandstone Texture cannot be applied directly over PVC, polystyrene (EPS), AAC or other absorbent materials without the application of a suitable base coat first.
Euromix™ recommends the use of Euromix™ Acrylic Primer as the priming coat with Euromix™ Sandstone.
