DESCRIPTION

and ceilings. It provides a strong adhesive bond to smooth surfaces such
as masonry, block, and pre-painted walls, prior to the application of cement-
based renders.
It can be applied using a Tyrolean box/spray hopper/powder pattern spray
gun. It is suitable for interiors and exteriors. Grey granular powder with a
particle size ranging from 0 - 4 mm. Normally applied at a coverage rate of
5-6 Kg/m2 by a Tyrolean box or spray hopper based on the substrate and
