Installation
Substrate
- Any dust and loose particles shall be removed from the substrate before application. The concrete surface must not be contaminated by substances which can negatively affect adhesion of the mortar to the substrate (e.g. oil).
- Before application of the prepared mortar, wetting of the concrete surface should be thorough and repeatedly undertaken performed for at least 120 minutes.
- The thickness of application of Manorteq NonShrink Thix should be at a minimum of 20 mm.
Preparation
- Manorteq NonShrink Thix is prepared by mixing 3.20 – 3.70 litres of clean water to 1 No. (25 kg) bag of product.
- Optimum quantity of batching water can fluctuate, as is usual with mortars containing a cementing binder.
- Working time of the product is 50 – 60 minutes at 20 °C.
- Neither the temperature of the substrate, nor the temperature of the ambient air, shall be below +5 °C or above +30 °C.
- It is important to note that anchoring holes, filled joints etc. should be filled in one application, without any interruption, to ensure the filled areas are continuous.
