Safety and health

Pay attention to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before installing this product. In the MSDS all relevant
information regarding potential health, safety and environmental hazards and protective measures for these
hazards can be found. The MSDS also specifies the appropriate personal protective equipment to be used
when installing this product.

Storage and shelf life

The optimum storage temperature for goods in their original, unopened packaging ranges from 15 to 25 °C.
Keep in a dry place away from sunlight. If these conditions are met, the goods may be stored for a minimum of
8 months.
Inappropriate storage may lead to the formation of lumps, in which case the material must no longer be used
since parts of the binder have already reacted.
Do not stack more than 2 pallets on top of each other.

Processing
Processing below 5 °C is not recommended !!
Optimum processing temperature of the material: 15 to 25 °C

If the recommended temperatures cannot be kept, corresponding measures have to be taken.

Mixing liquid: drinking water (temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C)

4,9-5,5 l/100kg

Mixing device: clean high intensity mixer, free from impurities

Volume of mixing compound needed: 4,9-5,5 litres /100 kg dry material

Mixing process
Dry mixing time: 1 minute
Addition of mixing compound
Wet mixing: 6 minutes, depending on mixing device

4,9-5,5 l/100kg

To set the correct dosing of the mixing compound, a consistency test ("ball-in-hand" test) is recommended!

Material is proper material is too wet material is too dry

mixed.

Preparation of adjoining areas

Contact surfaces that could draw water from the concrete (insulation, brickwork) must be free from dust and
made to be water-repellent. Suitable ways to achieve this are: coating with liquid sodiumsilicate, forming oil,
grease or paraffin and/or covering with film.

Preparation of templates
The entire surface of the template must be treated with a suitable form release agent.

Lining
Do not mix more material than can be used up within 20 minutes! (Take transportation into account!)
Lining of the individual components must be done continuously and without interruption. Layer formation must
be avoided!

Compacting
Compacting is done by vibration.
A smooth, shiny surface indicates good compacting.

Removing the template

The template may only be pulled out after dimensional stability has been reached.

Air drying
After stripping, the components have to be exposed to air for a minimum of 24 hours to set. During this time,
the elements have to be kept moist or covered with film. Do not start heating before this minimum period of 24
hours is over.
Installed material needs to be protected from frost until it is heated.

Drying and heating

To prevent structural damage, the drying and heating recommendations enclosed must be strictly observed for
newly lined components.
The heating curve depends on the geometry of the unit and on the wall thickness. For precise monitoring of
the temperature curve we recommend using thermal elements in several areas (hot and cold side).
Enclosed please find a standard heating curve for a wall thickness of 150 mm.
For thicker walls, the heating time is correspondingly longer.
Heating curves for deviating conditions will be provided upon request.
