Description
Main area of use
It is particularly suitable to:
Smoothing and bonding EPS, graphite EPS and rock wool panels in certified ETA systems.
Recommended applications:
Smoothing the most common substrates used in construction. Bonding standard insulating panels.
- Suitable substrates (indoors
- or outdoors):
- standard panels such as EPS, graphite EPS, rock wool or XPS (only for low plinth strips).
- Lime-based plasters
- Lime/cement-based plasters
- Clay brick
- Precast or cast-in-place concrete
- Autoclaved aerated concrete
- Old paint and coatings provided they are clean, thick and well anchored to the substrate
CHARACTERISTICS
- Its very high adhesive power allows for the safe and durable bonding of all kinds of panels.
- Its versatility of application allows it to be used both as a skim coat and as an adhesive.
- Its high mechanical strength makes it ideal even for semi-structural reinforcements.
- Its smoothness and consistency allow for easy and comfortable application.
- Its fibre-reinforced, controlled-shrinkage formulation minimises cracks and fissures.
- Its balanced grain size results in a compact and uniform fine-textured surface.
- Compliant with Standard UNI EN 998-1 as a GP mortar.
HOW TO USE
Preparation of the substrate
Its chemical composition allows for application also at low temperatures (>0 degrees celsius)
The substrate must be cured, clean, flat, cohesive and free of any kind of release agent. It is always advisable to use a primer to even out absorption. If necessary, prevent capillary/saline rising with Neutral Antisale or licata Injecto Gel.
- New substrates: no precautions other than those indicated
- Deteriorated or crumbling substrates: remove all crumbling, loose or detaching parts and restore the flatness of the substrate using licata products.
- Insulating materials: in the case of slabs made of insulating materials, make sure that they are free of any protective films.
Preparing the mixture
- Pour the product into a clean container containing ¾ of the total mixing water
- Mix for about 3-4 minutes with a low-speed mixer, adding the rest of the water gradually.The product ready for application should be a thixotropic, smooth and lump-free mixture.
- Let it rest for 1-2 minutes, then stir again before use.
Raso W160 W must be used as such, with the sole addition of clean water. Do not split the packages to use them partially and do not use open bags.
Application Bonding:
- Wet the substrate before applying the product.
- Apply the product in 2/3 central crowns (approx. 10 cm in diameter) of the panel and along the perimeter (rough surfaces) or full layer using a notched trowel (flat and/or plastered surfaces).
Application Smoothing:
- Apply a first even and flat coat using a smooth American trowel.
- Apply licataTHERM mesh 160 vertically, overlapping it along the joints by at least 10 cm.
- After at least 24 hours, apply a second coat, covering the reinforcement mesh completely.
- Complete the work using a sponge trowel when the product starts to dry.
NOTE: To level thicknesses greater than 10 mm, it is necessary to apply another layer on top of the first hardened layer.
