Seamless microcement integrates walls, floors and ceilings as a whole
With a sense of infinitely extended design
and minimalist style, it is highly favored by designers and consumers
and has been widely applied rapidly.
Nowadays, microcement has become a must-choice for designers, and a popular internet-famous material among consumers.
Almost all designers prefer to use microcement,
yet worry that the finished construction effect may fail to meet expectations.
Almost all consumers want to adopt microcement,
but are concerned about its overly complicated construction process.
Almost all microcement constructors are willing to take construction orders,
while fearing poor on-site control that may lead to rework and financial losses.
Nearly all users are attracted by the elegant visual effect of microcement,
and meanwhile worry about difficult later maintenance and daily care.

Traditional Two-component Microcement:
Low on-site fault tolerance
Powder and slurry need to be mixed and stirred on site in strict proportion
Non-standard mixing ratio and unqualified stirring time will seriously affect product quality.
(For instance, an improper ratio of powder to slurry will easily cause performance degradation of the material,
resulting in insufficient strength, poor compression resistance, inadequate bonding strength and pull-out strength.)
Traditional microcement is a two-component product that requires proportional on-site mixing before construction.
It features a short usable construction time, and any unused material that cannot be applied in time has to be discarded.
Complicated Tinting of Traditional Two-component Microcement
Traditional two-component microcement contains a high proportion of Portland cement. Colorant has to be added one by one during on-site mixing, which easily causes color difference.
With high content of Portland cement, it will undergo extremely complex hydration reactions during mixing and tinting,
releasing high-concentration alkaline substances that react with colorant, leading to floating color, mottling and uneven tone.
This phenomenon is particularly obvious when mixing dark colors.
3) During troweling construction, different force applied by the trowel will form varying density on the coating surface,
which affects the speed of hydration reaction during drying. This results in uneven mottled color on the coating surface, presenting a dull and dirty hue in many shades.
4) Two-component microcement has a long curing period of more than 7 days. Specifically, floors need 21 days to reach optimal compressive
and flexural strength, greatly increasing construction costs.
5) Most traditional two-component microcement adopts two-component polyurethane topcoat, which requires on-site mixing. It has a short open time for construction,
with difficult gloss control and prone to uneven coating absorption.
Can we have the best of both worlds?
We desire the minimalist expressive power of microcement,
the seamless endless integration of microcement,
the natural stone tone of microcement,
and its tranquil natural texture.
It delivers minimalist aesthetics both near and far,
with pure texture and understated luxury.
We aim to abandon overly complex materials and craftsmanship,
and get rid of cumbersome and hard-to-master construction skills.
We have developed a new type of microcement that retains the seamless connection,
natural tranquility and luxurious texture of traditional two-component microcement.
Just like mirrorless cameras in photography,
it discards complicated technology and achieves professional effects as good as traditional full-frame devices with simple operation.
The New Mission of Microcement Developer — Simon.
Minimalist Resin Microcement: Simon Resin Microcement
The material features a minimalist composition: penetrating primer, ready-to-use one-component resin microcement and one-component protective agent.
Penetrating Primer: It can strengthen the base surface and seal alkali and moisture of the substrate.
Resin Microcement: It adopts hybrid resin composed of inorganic potassium silicate, lithium silicate, nano silica sol and hydroxyl high polymer to replace unstable Portland cement.
It takes graded quartz sand as aggregate, pure powder and high-performance additives to form "liquid cement". Factory pre-tinting ensures uniform color. As a one-component product, it is ready to use once opened.
The coating dries fast with no special curing required, and no on-site mixing of powder and liquid is needed. It conforms to painters' usual operating habits, with reusable leftover material in the tank and no waste. It meets the A1 fire-resistant standard,
is an eco-friendly energy-saving product with ultra-low VOC emissions and superior environmental performance.
One-component Protective Agent: Ready to use after stirring well once opened, no hardener mixing required. Easy matte finish construction, featuring high hardness and excellent stain resistance.
Simon Resin Microcement
Simple tinting, high hardness and streamlined construction solve constructors' difficulties, worries about construction and rework risks
Roll one coat of Simon penetrating primer on the qualified base surface.
Apply two coats of Simon Resin Microcement by troweling after the primer dries.
(For an ultra-smooth finish, polish with 200-300 grit sandpaper after the microcement cures.)
Vacuum up surface dust, then roll two coats of matte protective agent.
