    Field of application

    • For use indoors and outdoors
    • Repair, renovation and restoration of wall surfaces and masonry subjected to moisture and salt loads
    • Internal wall surfaces in cellars, old buildings and facades
    • Can be used in combination with SP Levell in areas exposed to high levels of harmful salts
    • Can be applied in a single layer as an undercoat or finishing coat

    Properties

    • High sulphate resistance and low active alkali content (SR/NA)
    • Enables water vapour diffusion
    • Single-layer application thickness up to 30 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

        Apply SP Prep or SP Prep rapid as a bonding layer in net form (covering area 50-70%) with max. 5 mm layer thickness.

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

        Substrate: weakly absorbent

        Apply SP Prep or SP Prep rapid at full coverage (100%) with max. 5 mm layer thickness.

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

        Substrate: mineral waterproofing slurry

        Apply SP Prep as a full-coverage bonding layer on the last slurry layer wet-on-wet.

    • Application
      • Application temperature: min. 5 °C max. 30 °C
      • Mortar cover / Filling knife / Trowel application
      • Contact layer

        Apply the product using a suitable tool.

        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.

        Alternatively, apply the total layer thickness in 2 coats, wet on wet, embedding reinforcement fabric (Tex 6.5/100).

        Ensure that fabric sheets overlap by at least 10 cm.

        Level off surface with a long float.

        Finish the surface once set.

        Prepare the surface for subsequent layers with a grated scraper after sufficient setting.

        Pre-wet hydrophobic surfaces with detensioned water so that they are slightly damp before applying further render coats.

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

        On critical substrates (highly uneven, fissured, mixed masonry) we recommend incorporating the reinforcement fabric in the upper third of the restoration render.

        Apply additional diagonal reinforcement to the edges of building openings.

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

        At larger coating thicknesses of 10 - 30 mm, it is recommended to apply the mortar "wet on wet" in the render layer.

        Work can continue on scraped surfaces can after 24-48 hours.

        Work can continue on smoothed surfaces after min. 14 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.
