Microcement delivers seamless integration of walls, floors and ceilings. It creates an unbounded spatial extension with a minimalist aesthetic, winning great favor among designers and consumers alike. It has quickly gained widespread popularity, to the point that microcement has become a must-have choice for designers and a trending internet-famous material for homeowners.

Nearly all designers love using microcement, yet worry the finished construction effect may fall short of their design expectations.

Nearly all consumers want to apply microcement in their spaces, yet fear its construction process is overly complicated.

Nearly all microcement craftsmen are eager to take on construction orders, yet concern that poor on-site control will lead to rework and financial losses.

Nearly all users are captivated by the elegant look of microcement, but troubled by its difficult maintenance and daily upkeep.

Every building material has its own character and story.

Microcement features an extremely minimalist appearance, yet conceals extraordinary complexity in essence. Traditional two-component microcement comes with complicated material matching and low on-site fault tolerance. Powder and slurry must be mixed and stirred on site in strict proportions. Any deviation in mixing ratio or stirring duration will seriously compromise product quality. For instance, an improper powder-slurry ratio easily leads to degraded material performance, insufficient compressive strength, and inadequate bonding and pull-off strength.

Traditional microcement is a two-component product that requires proportional on-site stirring before application. It has a short construction working time, and any unused mixed material has to be discarded once the time window closes.

Color mixing of traditional two-component microcement is highly complicated. Containing a high proportion of Portland cement, it requires colorant to be added one by one during on-site mixing, which frequently results in color difference.

Rich in Portland cement, two-component microcement undergoes intricate hydration reactions during slurry mixing and tinting. It releases high-concentration alkaline substances that react with colorants, causing floating color, mottling and uneven tone — a problem especially prominent when mixing dark shades.

During the troweling process of two-component microcement, varying pressure from the trowel creates different density levels on the coating surface. This affects the speed of hydration reaction during drying, leaving patchy and uneven coloration that presents a dull, murky hue in many tones.

Two-component microcement requires a long curing period of more than 7 days. Flooring applications even need 21 days to reach optimal compressive and flexural strength, greatly increasing overall construction costs.

Most traditional two-component microcement uses two-component polyurethane sealers for topcoating. These need on-site mixing with a short working time; gloss level is hard to control, and uneven coating absorption is a common issue.

Can we have the best of both worlds?

We desire microcement’s minimalist expressive effect, its seamless endless integration, its natural stone tone, and its serene pure texture — understated yet luxurious, enjoyable up close and from a distance.

We aim to abandon overly complex materials and cumbersome, hard-to-master construction techniques.

Our goal is to develop a new type of microcement that inherits the seamless integrity and natural luxurious serenity of traditional two-component microcement. Just like mirrorless cameras, which discard complicated professional settings yet produce photos comparable to traditional full-frame cameras with effortless operation — this is the new mission of Simon, the innovator of microcement.

Simon Resin Microcement features a minimalist material system composed of penetrating primer, one-component resin microcement ready for use straight from the bucket, and one-component protective sealer.

All materials are fully pre-formulated in the factory with no on-site mixing required, effectively eliminating problems caused by field proportioning. Digital computer color matching avoids patchy and inconsistent tones from manual tinting. The construction process is straightforward, enabling ordinary workers to master skilled operation in a short time. No on-site mixing means no formula errors; digital color mixing ensures zero color deviation; simple application prevents construction failures. Repairs and acceptance can be completed in one pass without rework. The coating presents uniform color without floating or mottling, rarely showing patchy marks, and delivers a concise high-grade stone texture.

Penetrating Primer: Reinforces the base surface and seals alkali and moisture from the substrate.

Resin Microcement: Adopts resin hybridized with inorganic potassium silicate, lithium silicate, nano silica sol and hydroxyl high molecular polymer to replace unstable Portland cement. Combined with graded quartz sand aggregate, pure powder materials and high-performance additives, it forms "liquid cement". Factory pre-coloring guarantees consistent tone. As a one-component "liquid cement", it is ready to use right after opening. The coating features fast drying, no special curing requirement, and no need for on-site mixing of powder and liquid materials. It conforms to painters’ habitual operation; leftover material inside the container can be reused without waste. It meets Class A non-combustible standard, is an eco-friendly energy-saving product with extremely low VOC emissions and excellent environmental performance.

One-component Protective Sealer: Single-component formula, ready for application simply by stirring well after opening, no hardener mixing needed. Matte finish with easy construction. It delivers high hardness and outstanding stain resistance.

Minimal Construction Process

1. Roll one coat of Simon penetrating primer on the qualified base surface.

2. After the primer dries, apply two trowel coats of Simon Resin Microcement.

3. For an ultra-smooth finish, polish the dried microcement with 200–300 mesh sandpaper.

4. Vacuum up all surface dust, then roll on two coats of matte protective sealer.
