    Field of application

    • For use on floors indoors and outdoors
    • Repair of concrete construction components with a rough surface that are positioned horizontally or at a gentle slant
    • Bonded screed, floating screed and screed on separating layer
    • Heated screeds
    • Load-bearing layer underneath reactive resin coatings
    • Base layer under Remmers Crete coatings
    • Interior and exterior use

    Properties

    • High mechanical resistance
    • Fast curing
    • Low shrinkage
    • Low-stress and crack-free setting
    • Can be applied by machine
    • Screed according to DIN EN 13813: CT - C40 - F6 - A7 - B1.5
    • Preparation
      • Substrate requirements

        The substrate must be firm, dimensionally stable, capable of bearing loads and free of loose constituents, dust, oil, grease, rubber marks and other substances that could interfere with adhesion.

        The tensile strength of the surface of the substrate must be at least 1.5 N/mm² on average (smallest individual value of at least 1.0 N/mm²), and the compressive strength must be at least 25 N/mm².

    • Application
      • Application temperature: min. 5 °C max. 25 °C
      • Smoothing trowel
      • Application time::
        (+20 °C): approx. 30 minutes

         

        Layer thickness

        Single layer thickness < 80 mm

        Layer thickness in breakouts up to max. 100 mm

        In the case of bonded screeds, apply the product while the bonding layer is still wet.

         

        Subsequent processing

        Protect fresh mortar surfaces from wind, direct sunlight, rain and/or frost for at least 3 days so that they do not dry too quickly.
