How to distinguish high-quality microcement from low-quality?

Distinguishing between quality microcement and poor quality can be difficult, but a few key characteristics and tips can help you make the right decision. Here are the most important quality assessment criteria:

1. Composition and production process - High-quality microcement has a well-balanced composition, which uses high-quality minerals, resistant resins and pigments. The right combination of these components ensures the durability of microcement, resistance to wear and environmental influences. Lower-quality microcements often contain too many fillers or cheaper resins, which leads to poor adhesion, shorter service life and uneven color.
2. Abrasion and impact resistance - high-quality microcement must be resistant to mechanical stress - abrasion, impact, scratches. Poor-quality products often have a softer and more fragile coating that wears out quickly and can peel or crack. To assess this aspect, it is useful to ask the seller or manufacturer about the resistance tests performed.
3. Moisture resistance - reliable microcement is moisture resistant, so it can be used in bathrooms, kitchens or even around swimming pools. Quality products are created with special resins that help resist water, protecting the surface from mold and deformation. Low-quality microcements are usually not sufficiently resistant to moisture, which can lead to stains, deformation or even mold.
4. Color intensity and durability - good quality microcement is characterized by intense, uniform colors that remain for a long time and do not change due to exposure to ultraviolet rays. Such products are usually made with high-quality pigments that ensure color stability. Poor quality microcements may fade, lose color or become uneven due to the use of less resistant pigments.
5. Professional ratings and reviews - It is often worth asking for professional opinions about specific brands or products, as well as checking customer reviews. Quality microcements usually have a good reputation and positive reviews in the market. It is also recommended to check whether the product has certificates of conformity that guarantee certain quality standards.
6. Ease of installation and technical support - Manufacturers of quality microcement usually provide detailed information on the use of the product, as well as technical assistance, which can be useful during the installation process. Quality products are easier to apply, less likely to crack or deform after application. Applying poor quality microcement may require more effort and complicated corrections.
   

The price of microcement depends on several important factors. First, it is determined by the quality of the materials used - higher quality mineral powder, acrylic wax or other components. These materials with better properties are often more expensive. Second, the production process and technologies used to produce microcement can also affect the price, as advanced technologies ensure a better product. Third, the type of microcement and the choice of colors can lead to price differences, as special effects or unique colors can be more expensive. We can ensure that our customers receive only the highest quality microcement at an affordable price.
