Concrete
Cementoskin® and Cementobasic® are materials made from a mixture of cement and resin enriched by carefully chosen aggregates. Both are an “evolved kind of cement”, an agglomerate with high technical and structural performance, even when used with very low thickness. It is cast into shape thus the freedom in selecting the geometrics to realize is high, allowing furthermore a high level of detail and wear resistance. Cementoskin® has a rough surface and is suitable for outdoor applications, Cementobasic® has a smooth surface and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Both materials are resistant to dirt. The coloring of Cementoskin® and Cementobasic® is obtained by adding iron oxides to the mixture. Being handcrafted, the preparation of the color and the mixture can be influenced by hygrometric and seasonal climatic characteristics which can therefore create shading and discoloration.

Maintenance
For daily maintenance it is sufficient to clean the surface with soap water or common detergents. The surface has a good resistance to stains and chemical agents, nonetheless some substances like ink, cosmetics and colorations could leave some stains which have to be removed with the help of abrasive soap, acid or solvent containing soaps (depending on the staining substance), and a “Wcotch Brite®“ sponge. Jodine tincture stains the surface. Avoid contact with acetone and trichlorethylene. Cementoskin® and Cementobaisc® have small surface blowholes that are generated duing the pouring of the material into the mold, dispersed randomly on the surface, especially on the vertical portions. These cavities, both indoor and outdoor, can be filled with water/humidity, creating darker areas until they dry out. It is not recommended to use products made of Cementoskin® for indoor use.
