Porcelain Natural Microcement is a decorative coating using natural mineral aggregates instead of artificial pigments to create a fully integrated and color-consistent surface. This unique feature ensures that the color remains uniform and unchanged even with scratches or surface damage.
The product is composed of a blend of cement, polymer resins, selected additives, and natural stone aggregates. It is applied in a thin layer (approximately 2–3 mm) over a wide variety of surfaces.
Thanks to its high resistance to abrasion, moisture, and UV rays—along with the ability to achieve a wide range of textures and finishes—this microcement is widely used in modern designs and high-traffic areas such as floors, walls, bathrooms, and kitchens.

How to Identify Authentic Natural Microcement
Natural microcement is an innovative surface coating that uses mineral aggregates instead of synthetic pigments to achieve unique, integrated color and texture. This advanced technology creates a durable, color-stable finish that maintains its aesthetic appeal, even in the case of scratches or minor damage.
However, in today’s market, some manufacturers falsely market pigmented microcement as “natural” or “self-colored” microcement. These imitations rely solely on chemical pigments and lack the long-term durability and uniform appearance of true natural microcement.
This form of misrepresentation not only damages customer trust but also compromises the quality and longevity of the final applied surface.
That’s why it is essential for customers to be fully informed about the composition and specifications of the products they purchase. Always verify the credibility of the manufacturer and choose authentic, high-quality natural microcement from reputable sources.
How to Identify Genuine Natural Microcement
Natural microcement is an innovative product that uses natural mineral aggregates instead of synthetic pigment powders to create unique, integrated color and texture. This technology results in a highly durable coating with exceptional color stability, maintaining a uniform and attractive appearance—even when scratched or slightly damaged.
However, in today’s market, it has been observed that some companies engage in deceptive practices by marketing pigment-based products as natural microcement. These imitations rely solely on chemical pigments and do not deliver the same level of durability, consistency, or authenticity.
Such practices not only undermine customer trust but also compromise the overall quality and longevity of the final finish.
Therefore, it is essential that customers make informed decisions by understanding the true composition and characteristics of the products they purchase. Verifying the credibility of manufacturers ensures access to genuine, high-quality materials and lasting performance.

On Which Surfaces Can Natural Microcement Be Applied?
Thanks to its excellent adhesion and flexibility, natural microcement can be applied to a wide range of surfaces without the need for removal or demolition. Below are the most common substrates suitable for application:
Concrete
Microcement bonds easily to concrete surfaces, creating a smooth, uniform, and elegant finish.
Tiles and Ceramics
It can be applied directly over existing tiles and ceramic surfaces, eliminating the need for costly removal and reducing renovation time.
Natural Stone
Most types of natural stone serve as a solid base for microcement application, offering excellent stability and visual continuity.
Plaster (Gypsum Walls)
After proper surface preparation, gypsum or plaster walls can be effectively coated with microcement.
Wood
Microcement can be used over wooden surfaces, provided they are well-prepared and structurally stable. Extra care is required during surface preparation to ensure long-term performance.
Metal
With the use of appropriate primers, microcement can adhere to metal surfaces as well, expanding its versatility across design projects.
Previously Painted or Coated Surfaces
Older painted or coated surfaces can also be resurfaced with microcement, as long as they are well-cleaned, dry, and properly primed.
What Are the Disadvantages of Using Synthetic Pigments in Microcement?
While adding color pigments to microcement may offer certain design advantages, it also introduces several drawbacks that can compromise the final appearance and long-term performance. Here are some of the most common disadvantages:
1. Uneven Color Distribution
Pigments mixed into microcement may not disperse evenly throughout the material, leading to inconsistent shades or blotchy finishes that detract from the desired uniform look.
2. Limited Color Stability
Pigmented microcement is more vulnerable to fading or discoloration over time when exposed to environmental factors such as sunlight, moisture, or temperature fluctuations.
3. Color Shift During Drying
The final color of pigmented microcement may differ from the wet mixture, resulting in outcomes that do not match the original expectations or design plans.
4. Susceptibility to Scratching and Wear
Pigmented surfaces can become visibly worn or scratched over time, especially if the pigmentation is not deep or integrated throughout the material.
5. Challenges in Repairs and Touch-Ups
If a surface requires repair, matching the original color exactly can be difficult. This can result in visible color mismatches across the surface.
6. Requires High-Level Skill and Precision
Coloring microcement demands expertise and accuracy in mixing and application. Even minor errors can cause visible defects, streaks, or undesired color variations.
