Consumption
approx. 0.28 kg/m² per layer
Note: Consumption data is theoretical and does not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level, wastage or any other variations. Apply product to a test area to calculate the exact consumption for the specific substrate conditions and proposed application equipment.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Strictly follow installation procedures
Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.
MIXING
- Mix Part A (resin) for ~30 seconds.
- Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
- Mix continuously for 3 minutes, until a uniform mix is achieved.
Note: Use a low speed electrical stirrer (300–400 rpm) to avoid air entrapment. - During the final mixing stage, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing.
APPLICATION
IMPORTANT
Good ventilation
Always ensure good ventilation when applying the Product in a confined space.
IMPORTANT
Protect from moisture
After application, protect the Product from damp, condensation and direct water contact for at least 24 hours.
IMPORTANT
Substrate suitability
Do not apply the Product on gypsum plaster boards when used in wet areas such as shower rooms.
- Apply by brush, roller or airless spray.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools with Water immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
