ISOMAT decorative microcement products

Microcement delivers unique, high decorative value finishes through the use of either microcement coatings or pasty acrylic coatings. ISOMAT has developed two product families to cover both cases; the DUROCRET-DECO and ACRYL-DECO families. The DUROCRET-DECO family includes microcement coatings that come in powder form and can be colored with the addition of high-quality powder pigments. The ACRYL-DECO family includes acrylic, pasty, ready-to-use coatings that can be colored at points of sale through the ISOMAT COLOR SYSTEM tinting system. Microcement coatings are selected when an earthy, more calming feel is desired while acrylic coatings constitute the most well-suited choice for an ultra-smooth finish. DUROCRET-DECO FLEX and DUROCRET-DECO FINISH are certified environment- and user-friendly products, while acrylic coatings are ideal for those applications where high elasticity is a critical consideration.
