APPLICATION

 

Surface Preparation

The application surface must be cleaned of substances such as form oil and paint. Loose particles and materials with poor adhesion must be removed from the surface. Rust on metal components must be removed, and contact between the metal and mortar must be prevented using an anti-corrosion coating. Application may begin after the surface has been dampened.

Mortar Preparation and Application

Pour the appropriate amount of water (3,75-4,25 L water / 25 kg bag) into the mixing container. Add the powder and mix using a hand mixer.                                           

Allow the mortar to rest for 5 minutes, then remix until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.

Apply the prepared mortar at a thickness of 5-7 cm. If a greater thickness is required, ensure that the first coat has hardened before applying the second coat. For large-area applications, finish the surface using a finishing trowel.

CONSUMPTION

Approximately 17,0 kg/m² per 1 cm thickness.
