    Field of application

    • For use indoors and outdoors
    • Wall surfaces and masonry subjected to moisture and damaging salts
    • Old buildings, cellars and facades
    • Removal of salt and reduction of moisture
    • Condensate buffer and protective layer on internal seals

    Properties

    • High salt storing capacity
    • Porosity > 45 vol%
    • High sulphate resistance and low active alkali content (SR/NA)
    • Enables water vapour diffusion
    • Capillary-active
    • Single-layer application thickness from 10 to 40 mm
    • Machine workable
    • Preparation
      • Substrate requirements

        Clean, dust-free and capable of supporting a load.

      • Preparations

        Remove render, paint layers and coatings at least 80 cm above the damaged area.

        Chase out friable joints to a depth of at least 2 cm.

        Pre-wet absorbent substrates so that they are slightly damp.

        Substrate: absorbent with low strength

        Apply SP Prep as a bonding layer in a network pattern (covering 50-70% of the surface) at a layer thickness of max. 5 mm.

        Alternative: apply SP Levell as a scratch coat (contact layer).

        Substrate: weakly absorbent

        Apply SP Prep so that it fully covers the surface (100%) at a layer thickness of max. 5 mm.

        Alternative: apply SP Levell as a scratch coat (contact layer).

        Substrate: mineral waterproofing slurry

        Apply SP Prep over the entire surface area (100%) of the last slurry layer, wet-on-wet, as a bonding layer with a maximum coating thickness of 5 mm.

    • Application
      • Application temperature: min. 5 °C max. 30 °C
      • Mortar cover / Filling knife / Trowel application / Application by spraying
      • One-layer

        Apply product using a suitable tool or machine.

         

        Two-layer

        Roughen the first layer with a render comb.

        Apply second layer once sufficiently dry.

        Level off surface with a long float.

        Use a render comb to roughen horizontally in preparation for the next layer of render after setting.

        Alternative: Once the surface is sufficiently dry, use a grated scraper to prepare it for subsequent coatings.

         

    • Application instructions
      • Once it has hardened, mortar must not be made workable again by adding either water or more wet mortar.

        Protect wet mortar surfaces against frost, rain and drying out too quickly for at least 4 days.

        Hairline/shrinkage cracks are safe and are not cause for complaint as they do not impair the properties of the mortar.

        To ensure that the renovation is successful, the relevant drying conditions according to WTA Code of Practice 2-9-20/D must be met.

        Please contact Remmers Technical Service (phone +49 5432 83900) before applying with machine processing.

        When processing in machines, the product-specific data, such as strength, air void content, etc. might change.
