What is the Wet Spray Colour
Hardener System?
The Wet Spray On Colour Hardener System is the way to introduce a
decorative finish to freshly placed concrete. The colour is sprayed onto the
surface the same day the new pavement is installed.
What is the difference between Wet
Spray and dry cast colour?
They look different and the way they are installed is different.Dry cast colour
is applied to the surface as a dry powder and is worked into the concrete. The
texture for dry cast colour is determined by how the surface is trowelled. Wet
Spray is made into a wet mixture and sprayed onto the surface. Texture is achieved
with the spray.
Can Wet Spray Colour be used
on existing pavements?
No, Wet Spray is intended to be used only on new concrete the day it is
poured. Applying it to existing or cured surfaces would be expected to result
in delaminating. Existing concrete
can be decorated with the resurfacing product.
How does Wet Spray differ to
Resurfacing?
Although they appear to be quite similar at first glance, Resurfacing and Wet
Spray are different products with different formulations. Because they are
designed for different tasks they have very different properties. Resurfacing products are
designed to bond to existing surfaces and so has very different polymers or “glues” in
it. Wet Spray needs to go “into” the new concrete rather than
just to stick to it. This makes a more suitable bond. Other than the Colour Dispersant
the Resurfacing and Wet Spray system components are different and are not
interchangeable.
Should I seal it?
Yes. Sealing will aid cleanability and often enhances the colour. Wet Spray
Colour is usually sealed on the
day it is installed. Periodic resealing is recommended when needed.
