Ekomix

Instructions for use

Preparation for use
The substrate must be dry, not frozen, free of dust, efflorescence, not water-repellent and solid. The wall flatness must be within the tolerances prescribed by ÖNORM DIN 18202.

Product preparation
Mix Ekomix with approx. 6.00-6.25 litres of clean water per 25 kg bag (0.24-0.25 litres of water per 1 kg powder) in a clean container and stir constantly using a low speed mortar mixer (max. 500 rpm) until the mixture is homogeneous and then leave to stand for approx. 5 minutes. Mix again and, if necessary, correct the consistency with a small amount of water. Do not add other substances to the product.

Instructions for use
For bonding insulation panels: apply the adhesive using the dot and stripe method (bonding surface approx. 40 %). Strip width approx. 4 cm, height approx. 2 cm.
Rendering of insulation panels: apply the render approx. 2-3 days after bonding (depending on the weather conditions and any additional dowelling) in a minimum thickness of 3 mm and then spread with a toothed trowel. Bury the T50 reinforcement mesh in the render bed; at the joints overlap by at least 10 cm and cover it completely with the trowel. When the render is completely dry (maximum 7 days depending on the weather conditions), the suitable Torggler EKOR wall coating can be applied.
The mixture workability time is about 2 hours. Material left in open containers should no longer be used or mixed with fresh material.
During the processing and drying step, the temperature of the surrounding environment and the substrate must not fall below +5 °C. Protect against frost, too fast drying (direct beating sun, wind) and subsequent humidity (rain) until completely dry.

Storage

Store Ekomix in a dry and sheltered place. In the original closed bags it is kept for at least 12 months. PROTECT FROM HUMIDITY.

Warnings

Ekomix, in its grey version, is admixed with a special reducing agent to ensure compliance with the limit concentration of 0.0002% (2 ppm) of water-soluble hexavalent chromium (in relation to the weight of the Portland cement contained). See the information on the packaging according to Directive 2003/53/EC.
