Use fields

Restorations and repairs, structural recovery, reinforcement reconstruction, construction of reliable and durable coatings for building, civil, hydraulic, industrial, concrete and masonry works.

Preparation of supports

Application surfaces should be clean, free of dirt, crumbling and non-adhering parts, dust etc., and saturated with water "saturated with dry surface".. It is advisable to previously to apply the realkalising reinforcement CONSILEX SAN on the exposed surfaces, before they are restored.

Use method

Pour 2/3 of the total mixing water(about 3 litres per bag) in the concrete mixer, gradually add the product and the remaining water, until a homogeneous lump-free mixture of the desired consistency is obtained. Cure the protection and the prolonged moist hardening of exposed surfaces.

The addition of BOND HG to the mixing water (at a rate of approximately 0.5-0.7 kg for each lot of product) allows substantial improvements in terms of adherence, adhesion, watertightness, workability, moldability and capacity of deformation.

Application methods

- Brick trowel

- Finishing trowel

- Shotcrete machine

- Plastering machine

- Spatula

Warnings, precautions and Ecology

High coating thicknesses, static, monolithic requirements, etc., it may be necessary to resort to appropriate reinforcements (electrowelded mesh etc.) anchored to the support with SYNTECH PROFIX or GROUT MICROJ or REPAR TIX G2.
