FONDOSILK<\/b><\/p>\n
Description<\/b><\/p>\n
Fondosilk is a formulated modified stabilizing fluosilicate, conform to the din 18363.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This binder can regulate the absorption, it profoundly stabilizes the background, guarantees the ideal bond of the final coat, and does not reduce the vapour permeability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Thanks to its mineral properties, it allows the silicate paint to bond deeply with its substrate.<\/p>\n Fondosilk penetrates deep into the background and crystallizes firmly with it.<\/p>\n Fondosilk is a natural inorganic liquid product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Application area<\/b><\/p>\n Fondosilk is mainly used as a stabilizer and preparation coat for all kinds of mineral substrates\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Such as lime mortars, cementitious and bastard mortars, brickwork and most natural stonework.<\/p>\n It can also be used as dilution for the corisilk.<\/p>\n Apply fondosilk in one or two coats, diluted with max. 50 % of clean water for dense substrates with low porosity and bad absorption. You can apply fondosilk by means of a brush or paint-spraying (airless) equipment. Do not apply fondosilk to surfaces exposed to strong winds or direct sunlight, nor in case of heavy fog or temperatures under +5\u00b0c or over +35\u00b0c, nor on frozen and humid backgrounds. Avoid applying this product in rainy conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Preparation of the substrate and Application<\/b><\/p>\n Stable, clean surfaces – such as lime renders and plasters, lime washes as well as traditional masonry in brick or natural stone built with lime mortar – do not require any prior treatment.\u00a0 <\/span>Powdery layers must be removed until a sound substrate is reached.\u00a0 <\/span>Stone repairs, repointing and repairs to damaged brickwork and\/or loose renders are preferably done by means of natural hydraulic lime mortars first. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In order to prepare an unstable substrate, a layer of Fondosilk is applied.\u00a0 <\/span>In case of a porous and absorbent surface, a layer of Fondosilk is applied, diluted with maximum 50% of water.\u00a0 <\/span>Fondosilk is also applied as a base coat on unequally absorbing surfaces.<\/p>\n When surfaces are very dry and climatic temperatures very high, we recommend that the surfaces are dampened down prior to the application of Fondosilk silicate binder.<\/p>\n Do not apply Fondosilk silicate binder to surfaces exposed to strong winds or direct sunlight, nor in case of heavy fog or temperatures under +5\u00b0C or over +35\u00b0C.\u00a0 <\/span>Immediately clean tools in water and soap.<\/p>\n Consumption<\/b><\/p>\n Indicative consumption: 0,100 to 0,200 l\/m\u00b2.<\/p>\n The average coverage per litre of silicate paint amounts 6 to 8 m\u00b2.<\/p>\n Packing and storage<\/b><\/p>\n Plastic jerry cans of 1 litre, 5 litres and 25 litres.<\/p>\n The stability of the silicate binder is at least 6 months provided that it is stored in airtight closed containers and suitable environmental conditions.\u00a0 <\/span>Store in a cool and dry environment, well protected from frost and direct sunlight.\u00a0 <\/span>Protect from heat sources.<\/p>\n
