ZEMCOAT Super Fine is a specially formulated skimcoat for ultra thin plastering application thicknesses of 0.5 – 2mm. It perfectly smoothens concrete and plastered masonry surfaces such as walls, columns, beams and ceilings. It reduces construction costs by replacing three finishing steps: concrete neutralizer, patching compound and paint basecoat.

Surface Preparation
Substrate must have cured, be structurally stable, level, even, clean and free from paint and contaminants such as dirt, dust, loose material, oils, chemicals, etc.
Caution: Wet surface using a stiff bristle brush or a roller brush. For outdoor applications & during hot weather conditions, such as noon time or summer, wet substrate very well before applying Zemcoat to ensure proper bonding with the substrate.
How to use Zemcoat Skimcoat – Super Fine
1. Mixing
In a clean plastic pail, mix clean water with Zemcoat Super Fine. Mix to attain a smooth, creamy and lump-free consistency. Mixing time: 2 – 3 minutes. Let mixture rest for 15 minutes. Mix again briefly before use.
Caution: Use only non-absorptive materials as mixing base.
| Mixing Ratio | ||
|---|---|---|
| Water + Zemcoat | Variant | |
| 7L | 20kg | Super Fine |
| 8L | 25kg | Original |
2. Application
While the surface is still damp, apply Zemcoat Super Fine to desired application thickness (0.5 – 2mm) using a steel trowel. Setting time: 30 minutes.
Caution: If the substrate has surface imperfections of 2-5mm, Zemcoat Original has to be applied prior to Zemcoat Super Fine.
Note:
- For application areas that need minor surface corrections, Zemcoat Original (2-5mm application thickness) is applied before Zemcoat Super Fine (0-2mm application thickness).
- When using variants with the same color, apply Zemcoat Super Fine just before Zemcoat Original is about to set.
- When using variants with different colors, apply Zemcoat Super Fine only when Zemcoat Original has already set.
PRO TIP:
- Zemcoat Super Fine has set when the finish looks matte.
- If further smoothening is needed, sprinkle a small amount of water when the surface is about to set, then smoothen to desired finish.
- When using variants with the same color, apply Zemcoat Super Fine just before Zemcoat Original is about to set.
- When using variants with different colors, apply Zemcoat Super Fine only when Zemcoat Original has already set.
3. Finishing
Zemcoat Super Fine must receive further finishing as protection (e.g. paint, wall paper, render, concrete sealer, etc.).
Caution: Zemcoat Super Fine requires a minimum of 3-5 days curing time prior to further finishing.
