Application
The Styro Lux white Standard adhesive mortar is used for gluing foamed polystyrene boards and laying reinforcing mesh in the building insulation system for various types of decorative plasters. The mortar is suitable for filling and filling cavities of the stabilized substrate, as well as for leveling surfaces, e.g. for gluing ceramic tiles. Can be used inside and outside buildings.
Substrate preparation
The base on which the Styro Lux white Standard adhesive mortar is used can be concrete of all classes, aerated concrete, raw brick wall or light concrete blocks and old stable plaster. The surface should be firm and clean. Remains of old paints, fats, mosses etc. should be removed. Larger bumps and cavities should be filled with putty. Damaged and poorly adhering plasters should be removed. Dusty and excessively absorbent substrates should be primed with UNI-ASTEX primer.
Mortar preparation
The mortar is prepared by pouring it into water and mixing it manually or mechanically until the right consistency is obtained. Mixing proportions: 25 kg of mortar (1 bag) for approx. 5.5 L of water. The adhesive mortar is ready to work after 10 minutes and after mixing again. Higher temperatures shorten, while lower temperatures increase mortar readiness time.
Gluing foamed boards and arranging the reinforcing mesh
Styro Lux white Standard adhesive mortar is applied to the inside of the board with a trowel, applying it with stripes around the perimeter and about 8 patches (depending on the size of the board) inside the board surface (the amount of adhesive mortar on the board after pressing against the wall must take 50% - 60% of its area). After sticking the foamed polystyrene boards after 3 days (after the adhesive mortar has set), we proceed to fastening with plastic expansion dowels. The surface of foamed polystyrene boards should be even, clean, stable and dust-free before making a reinforcing layer of mesh, as long as the boards have been sanded after bonding. To arrange the reinforcing mesh, apply the mortar with a notched trowel 10/12, then lay the reinforcing mesh in vertical stripes and level the surface smoothly. The thickness of the reinforcement layers must be at least 3 mm, the mesh must be located in the outer part of the adhesive mortar so that it is invisible. The mesh should be embedded vertically with 10 cm overlaps and smoothed smoothly. After the mortar has dried (approx. 14 days depending on weather conditions), external plaster can be applied.
Temperature of performed work
Air temperature from + 5 ° C to +25 ° C. Substrate temperature from + 5 ° C to +25 ° C. Work in temperature between +5 ° C and +25 ° C. For a period of 7 days after the completion of works, the air temperature should not be below +5 ° C, and for the next 21 days should not fall below 0 ° C.
Expenditure
Bonding of foamed polystyrene boards approx. 4.0-5.0 kg per 1m², Embedding fiberglass mesh: 3.0-4.0 kg per 1m²
Packaging
25 kg paper bags. Pallet: 54 bags x 25 kg = 1350 kg
Storage and transport
The products must be absolutely stored in undamaged packaging and dry rooms on pallets. Protect from moisture, getting wet during storage and transport. The storage period of the product in conditions complying with the recommendations given is up to 12 months from the date of production placed on the packaging in digital print. The date of production, which is placed on the packaging, is also the date of manufacture of the product. Any changes visible in the product or packaging structure without special tests, in particular discoloration or smudging of the packaging graphic, infringements of the packaging continuity, biological changes in the product structure, recognizable in particular as a consequence of moisture, may indicate poor storage or transport conditions and do not guarantee compliance declared performance characteristics of products as specified.
Precautions
The product contains cement which, when mixed with water, gives an alkaline reaction. Take measures to prevent dusting or splashing with the mortar. Do not inhale, protect eyes and skin. In case of contamination: rinse eyes immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice, wash skin with soap and water. Keep out of children's reach. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label.
