There are many materials to choose from during wall decoration. So what are the differences between microcement and plaster ? Let’s take a look at it together.
What is microcement?
Microcement is a new material made of cement, resin, additives and pigments. It can also be understood as cement with strong decorative colors, rich in color, thick or thin, creating a variety of textures, and can also improve the waterproofness and strength of the wall. It is convenient to construct without removing old surface layers. It is widely used in interior walls and top surfaces. What is
plaster?
stucco, also known as stucco matrix, or gypsum , is one of the structural components of carbonate rocks and is a sediment composed of mud-like calcium carbonate fines or crystals.
What are the differences between microcement and stucco
1. Different components
microcement is a cement-based decorative material. Its main component is silicate , which consists of special cement , plant fibers, aqueous resin and inorganic additives.
Art stucco is a lime-based decorative material, the main component is calcium carbonate , which consists of lime, natural stone powder, plant fibers and inorganic additives.
2. Different strengths and hardness
Microcement is a two-component, with water-based resin added, with high strength and hardness. Microcement can be used as walls, roofs, floors, and seamless connections.
stucco is mostly used in indoor and outdoor walls, and can be made of various textures. clean water concrete in stucco is similar to microcement, but its strength and hardness are far less than microcement.
3. The scope of application is different.
micro cement can be used as a wall-to-ground integrated effect.
stucco can be made of various textures. If used on the ground or countertop area, you must have micro cement, otherwise there will be problems if you step on it frequently.
What are the common points of microcement and plaster
1. Variety of colors, diverse textures, either rough or delicate, and has strong plasticity.
2. Fireproof, flame-retardant, moisture-proof and mildew-proof, and universal inside and outside walls.
3. The style is simple and elegant, the overall seamless connection, and the service life is long, etc.
