PREPARATION AND APPLICATION
The substrate to which the mortar is applied should be solid, clean and dry, free of poorly bonded parts and greasy stains. The closure of holes, joints, electrical openings should be performed before applying mortar. In case of applying mortar to concrete or other smooth surfaces, BK-BetonKontakt should be applied to the substrate in order to improve the adhesion of the mortar. In case of highly absorbent, porous substrates (siporex blocks), a BK-Nivelator should be applied to the substrate to prevent uneven drying and cracking of the mortar. In case of significant surface unevenness, BK-Mal 120 should be applied first. The preparation of the mortar is done by intensive mixing of the powder with about 22-24% of water. The mortar is usually applied in two stages, using the fresh-to-fresh method, on previously prepared, dry substrate in thickness of min. 10 mm and max. 25 mm. After that, spread the mortar with an H-shape plastering derby, trim, felt and level. For larger mortar thicknesses it is necessary to apply the mortar continuously according to the fresh-to-fresh principle, up to the required thickness (max. 40 mm).
