Skimcoat is a very fine material that can be applied to any interior or exterior surface. Cement-based skimcoat is used as a final coat on horizontal substrates at a thickness of 2-5mm. Depending on the region, they are applied to concrete or foundation renders. The primary function of KimaCell® cellulose ether is to facilitate manual coating. Additionally, KimaCell® cellulose ether is responsible to improve water retention, sag resistance and crack resistance.
