CARATTERISTICHE
Mortar for highly adhesive smoothing, with a low elastic modulus and excellent workability made from natural hydraulic lime and selected inert materials.
Indicated for levelling irregular surfaces, it guarantees a secure hold on cement base surfaces providing an adhesive layer for subsequent lime based finishes.

USES

• Specific for finishing prefab elements in cement like Predal slab ceilings.
• For civil finishing of columns and beams in reinforced concrete.
• As an adhesive layer on cement plaster, for subsequent lime finishing, suitable as substrate for lime brush finishes.
• Very suitable for plasters which are very cracked, premixed and traditional.
  Where necessary with plaster to improve the effectiveness, use a grid.
• To make absorption and granulometry more uniform in the event of touch ups and surfaces made with different materials.
• To adjust the absorption of non-uniform surfaces, when removing plastic plasters.

PREPARATION OF THE BOTTOMS

• Wash the parts in reinforced concrete and the old plaster with water cleaner at a pressure which is suitable for removing dust, dirt and traces of dismantling additives.
• Remove the plastic plasters with special treatments and wash the cleaned surfaces with a water cleaner in order to reduce the porosity of the plaster and remove any traces of remaining solvent.
• Before applying dampen the support (based on the weather conditions).

PREPARING THE PASTE
Mix for 3-5 minutes in a cement mixer or mixer by pouring the necessary water and Rasante IMB 30 product until obtaining a paste with a uniform appearance and creamy consistency.

APPLICATIONS

• Application for smoothing reinforced concrete elements:
  Apply with a stainless steel trowel in an average thickness of 2 mm.
  After around 20 minutes (based on the absorption of the bottom and temperature) finish with a sponge float.
• Application for smoothing old plaster:
  If the base is crumbly and very absorbent apply a coat of CRIL FIX acrylic fixative diluted 1:4, apply with stainless steel trowel in average thickness of 2 mm levelling without float finish.
  When it is hard apply a second coat and after around 20 minutes finish with sponge float.
• Application to smooth bottoms after removal of plastic plasters:
  When preparing the mixture add 2 litres of CRIL FIX acrylic fixative to the mixture water for every sack of Rasante IMB 30.
  Apply with a stainless steel trowel in an average thickness of 2 mm levelling without float finish.
  When hardened apply a second coat (for later finish with limewash paint) or continue with application of all our products in the Linea Antica following the instructions on the product.
