    • Preparation
      • Substrate requirements

        The substrate must be dry, level, stable and clean. It must also be free of dust, oil, grease and release agents.

      • Preparations

        Remove projecting seams and mortar remains.

        Break off or chamfer corners and edges.

        Use a suitable mortar to create a sealing cove.

        Seal off indentations > 5 mm using a suitable filling knife.

        Roughen the surface of plastic pipes with sandpaper; clean and, if necessary, sand metal pipes.

        Apply a scratch coat of the product to act as a contact layer and reduce blistering.

    • Preparation
      • Mixing time 3 min
      • Combination container

        Mixing ratio liquid : powder = 1 : 1.87

        Stir the liquid component with a suitable mixing tool.

        Loosen the powder component and add it in full to the liquid component.

        Mix for approx. 1 minute before suspending the mixing process to allow the air that has been stirred in to escape.

        Remove the powder adhering to the side.

        Mix again for approx. 2 minutes.

        Keep the mixing tool near the bottom of the bucket while mixing.

    • Application
      • Application temperature: min. 5 °C max. 30 °C
      • Apply a scratch coat to the sanded substrate. Use a slurry brush, smoothing trowel or spraying equipment to apply in two layers.

        Apply the product in two layers on the previously prepared substrate.

        Apply second layer once sufficiently dry.

         

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

        When using liquid waterproofing materials, exposure to direct sunlight and/or wind can accelerate skin formation and cause blistering.

        The maximum total wet coat thickness must not exceed 5 mm.

        Moving the material (e.g. by stirring) in the mixing bucket can prevent premature skin formation.

        Do not use in direct sunlight.

        Protect fresh waterproofing from rain, frost and condensation.

        Once dry, protect from mechanical damage.

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

    • Working tools / cleaning
      • Mixing tool, trowel, wide brush

        Clean tools with water while the material is still fresh.

        Remove hardened material by tapping or scraping.
