Packaging: Plastic poke 5kg

Consumption: See Technical Brochure (TDS)

Description

Modified with polymeric additives, it consists of cement, quartz sand, calcareous fillers and improvers. Fmf 150 has high mechanical strength and resistance to frost and humidity. It is classified as competent type CG2 based on EN 13888 for internal and external use. It is produced in two types:
Fine-grained for joint thickness up to 5mm
Chondrococcus for joint thickness 5-20mm

Fields of Application

• Suitable for grouting absorbent and non-absorbent tiles (e.g. granites) on all common substrates, on horizontal or vertical surfaces, in dry and wet areas
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Advantages

• Produced with quartz sand
• Strong adhesion to demanding substrates
• Abrasion resistance
• Excellent workability
• Quick implementation
• Resistance to moisture and frost
• Produced and controlled according to the European standard EN 13888

Implementation Steps

Step 1

The substrate of the paving should be flat, clean of loose and foreign bodies such as plaster residues, paints, oils, etc., without cracks, stable and free from shrinkage and deformation tendencies. In addition, it should not be subjected to vibrations. Suitable substrates are concrete, self-leveling floors, cement mortar light concrete, bricks, poropeton, cement blocks and cement – lime plasters.

Step 2

In a clean container add 1.05 – 1.10 liters of pure water for fine grain (Νο 301-326) and 1.50 – 1.55 liters of pure water for the coarse grain (No 501-525)

Step 3

Gradually empty the contents of a 5 Kg bag of FMF 150 product, stirring continuously with an electric stirrer to obtain a homogeneous mass of mortar

Step 4

Let the resulting mixture ripen for 5 minutes and stir it a little again

Step 5

The mixture is ready for use for the next 1 hour. After the preparation of the mixture, it is forbidden to add additional water to correct the workability of the mortar. This would lead to a decrease in its strength and an increase in its shrinkage.

Step 6

Apply FMF 150 on the surface and with the special elastic spatula helping it to penetrate the joints, with diagonal and crossed movements

Step 7

Clean the excess grout from the joints with a wet sponge

Step 8

When the grout pulls enough, rub the entire surface with a sponge and form the surface of the joint

Step 9

After the grout has tightened, rub and smooth the surface of the joints with a damp cloth, giving their final appearance

Step 10

This is followed by mopping of the surface of the tiles and removal of the remnants of materials and pollutants. The use of detergents and other caustic cleaning should be applied after the complete drying of the grout. During the application and during the next 24 hours the temperature of the environment and the substrate should be between +5C and +35C

Step 11

The grout when it is still fresh is cleaned with water. When hardened it is mechanically removed

Storage

It is kept stored in wooden pallets and in a dry environment with a temperature greater than 0°C for 12 months from the date of production
