Mastofix^®

Instructions for use

Preparation for application
The substrate must be dry, frost-free, free of dust, efflorescence, not water-repellent and solid.

Product preparation
Mix Mastofix with approx. 6-6.25 litres of clean water per 25 kg bag in a clean container and stir constantly using a slow motion mortar mixer (max. 500 rpm) until the mix is homogenous and then allow to rest for approx. 5 minutes. Mix again and, if necessary, correct the consistency with a small amount of water. Do not add any other substances to the product.

Instructions for application
Bonding the insulation panels: apply adhesive using the dot-and-strip method (bonding area approx. 40 %). Strip width approx. 5 cm, height approx. 2 cm. Levelling of the insulation boards: Apply skimming approx. 2-3 days after bonding (depending on weather conditions and possible additional dowelling) in a minimum thickness of 3 mm and then spread with a T 12 notched trowel. When the skim coat is completely dry (maximum 7 days depending on weather conditions), the suitable Torggler eTics wall coating can be applied.
The pot life of the mixture is about 4 hours. Material remaining in open containers must not be used or mixed with fresh material. During processing and drying the temperature of the surroundings and substrate must not fall below +5 °C. Until completely dry, protect against frost, excessively fast drying (direct sunlight, wind) and subsequent moisture (rain). Baseboard insulation panels, coated with a system adhesive and wall covering, must be sealed with Torggler Flex 1K or Flexistar in the area below ground level up to approx. 10 cm below the lower end of the skim coat and up to max. 5 cm above ground level (finish with baseboard profile). The relevant national standards must be observed in all cases.

Storage

Store Mastofix in a dry, sheltered environment. In the original unopened bags it will keep for at least 12 months. Protect against moisture.
