APPLICATION AREAS

Ekomix is suitable for:

- Bonding and skimming polystyrene insulation panels

- Product with requirements in accordance with ETAG 004.

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 appr ox. 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 insulatio n 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 a pprox. 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. Mater ial left in open containers should no longer be used or mixed

with fresh material.

During the processin g 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.
