Instructions for use
Preparation of the surface Application
All surfaces must be dimensionally stable To guarantee maximum adhesion it is necessary
according to IS 1443-2018, level, cured, to apply a sufficient layer of adhesive.

It is good practice to dampen highly absorbent Check samples to make sure the adhesive has
concrete surfaces or apply a coat of Primer A been transferred to the back of the material.
Eco. Create elastic expansion joints:
- ≈ 10 m2 in external applications,
Adhesive preparation - ≈ 25 m2 in internal applications,
Mixing water - every 8 metres in long, narrow applications.
7.25 - 8.5 litres of clean water per bag Respect all structural, fractionizing, and
perimeter joints present in the surfaces.
The amount of water to be added, indicated on
the packaging, is an approximate guide. It is
possible to obtain mixtures with a more or less
non-sag consistency, depending on the type of
application.
