MakeMake Colour Fix™ 1 liter

EUR 21,29

Product Overview:

MakeMake Colour Fix™ is a high-performance binding agent. When combined with MakeMake colour pigments, it allows professionals to mix precise colours in the exact quantities needed, eliminating the need to store large volumes of pre-mixed paint.

Technical Benefits:

Colour Fix™ penetrates the microscopic pores of the ConcreteClay surface, sealing and making it water-repellent and easy to clean. This ensures that coatings adhere strongly, resist chipping and maintain high durability, even in year-round outdoor environments.

Application and Customization:

In its liquid form, Colour Fix™ is milky white, becoming completely clear when dry. This allows for the preservation of the natural concrete appearance without pigments.
For coloured finishes, MakeMake colour pigments can be added to Colour Fix™. Pigments can be blended to create custom colours and shades, giving professionals full control over the final result.
Higher gloss can be achieved by applying multiple coats. The more layers applied, the greater the shine.

Coverage:

1 liter of Colour Fix™ covers approximately 8 m², depending on the surface texture.

Safety and Handling:

Colour Fix™ is water-based, non-toxic and odorless, making it suitable for professional indoor and outdoor use.

Description

Storage and Temperature Requirements:

Colour Fix™ should be stored and applied at temperatures between 5°C and 60°C. Maintaining the correct temperatures ensures optimal adhesion, curing and long-term performance.

Surface Preparation and Application:

Before applying Colour Fix™, ensure that ConcreteClay™ surfaces are clean and free from oil, grease, or other contaminants. When applying multiple coats, allow each layer to fully dry before adding the next. For best results, after completing all coats, keep the finished item indoors for a number of days equal to the number of layers applied. Applying Colour Fix™ outdoors before it is fully cured may cause the finish to turn milky or cloudy when exposed to moisture. Once Colour Fix™ is applied to ConcreteClay™, no additional treatment is necessary.

Special Applications:

Aquarium Backgrounds: Colour Fix™ prevents direct contact between water and ConcreteClay™, helping pH fluctuations in aquatic environments.
Plaster Casts: Can be used as a sealant or as a base for painting, providing a protective finish.

Important Note:

When creating plaster casts in alginate molds, exercise caution if using petroleum jelly (Vaseline) as a release agent. Residual Vaseline can contaminate the plaster surface, preventing Colour Fix™ from adhering properly. Following these guidelines ensures durable, high-quality results.
