Consumption
- Priming coat: ~0.35 kg/m² (diluted 1:1 with water)
- Each subsequent coat: ~0.70 kg/m² (undiluted)
- Total system (3 coats + primer): ~2.45 kg/m²
- Optional fibreglass mat reinforcement: 75 g/m²
Application Steps
- Substrate Preparation: New concrete/screed should have a brushed or wood float finish, free from contamination. Repair all surface defects and remove protrusions greater than 3 mm. Existing surfaces must be dense and defect-free. Concrete must be mat-moist with no standing water. Brickwork should be flush pointed. Profile all horizontal/vertical intersections with a 25×25 mm mortar fillet.
- Mixing: No mechanical mixing required. Manually stir with a plastic spatula until smooth consistency is achieved.
- Application: Apply priming coat diluted 1:1 with clean water (~0.35 kg/m²). Allow 6–12 hours before applying 1st coat undiluted (~0.70 kg/m²). Optionally embed fibreglass mat (75 g/m²) into wet 1st coat. Apply 2nd and 3rd coats undiluted at ~0.70 kg/m² each, allowing 6–12 hours between coats.
- Cleaning: Clean all tools with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
