1- Preparation of substrate :

• The surface must be solid and free of the residue of all kinds (cement, coating, oil materials, dust, etc...) It must be completely dry.
• The surface should be free from cracks and fissures so it is preferred to be repaired using AKRE REPAIR 720.

2- Application

• Mixing :
  Add AKRE STYROBOND 2052 slowly to the amount of clean water in the mixing bowl (water ratio 24-26%)while avoiding adding any other substances during mixing, then mix using a low-speed mechanical mixer, quietly and for 2 minutes until we reach a homogeneous mixture, free of clusters, let the mixture rest for 2 minutes, then re-mix for 1 minute, and the mixture is ready to apply.
• Installation :
  A- As an adhesive layer on the wall:
  AKRE STYROBOND 2052 applies on the surface and the back side of the insulation boards (XPS) using a notched trowel to determine the thickness in a range (1-2 mm) , then place the board on the wall with slight movement and pressure to ensure the distribution of the adhesive.
  
  B- As a finishing cladding layer:
• 24 hours after installing the boards a new layer of AKRE STYROBOND 2052 adhesive is implemented on the exterior of the boards using a smooth trowel with a thickness of 2mm.
• FIBER-GLASS grille can be added on the adhesive mud and pressed within it well and then spread a finished layer of AKRE STYROBOND 2052 on the grille to ensure it is fully covered with surface leveling (2-3 mm) thickness thus we get a final surface supported and smooth.
• The consumption is (~ 25KG / 4-5 m² / 3-4 mm)on average,as this ratio changes depending on the application conditions and surface properties.
• After at least 5 days of finishing work, we can perform the final finishes paint, paste decoration... etc.

Post-application recommendation:

• not use the remaining mortar after the time of its validity in the bowl.
• It should be kept away from water for 24 hours after installation.

Cleaning: :

• Clean equipment and hands with direct water
• Clean the surface of the stuck material after installation with a wet cloth.

Storage:

• Storage in relatively dry warehouses away from humidity and direct sunlight.
• No more than 10 bags should be placed on top of each other during storage.
• Shelf life 12 months in appropriate conditions.

Packaging:

• Multi-ply paper bag 25kg.
