AREA OF USE:

Exterior wall for direct application on clay brick, concrete block, AAC block, precast/in-situ concrete and stone.

PREPARATION OF SURFACE:

1. Ensure all dust, dirt and foreign matter are brushed and scraped away.

2. ensure surface is solid, free from salts, oil, grease and ridges.

3. Protect all adjacent surfaces not to be coated.

4. Apply a coat of penetrating primer to absorbent surfaces such as AAC blocks.

5. A key coat is required on very smooth surfaces such as precast or in-situ concrete (1pt Mar-Fix, 0.4 pts. water, 0.08 pts. bond)

MIXING:

1. Mix 20 kg of Mar-Fix with 5–6 litres of clean water for 3 minutes.

2. Ensure that mixing time and ratio of powder/ water are constant to ensure colour consistency.

3. Allow the mortar to stand for 5 minutes, remix and use 3. Allow the mortar to stand for 5 minutes, remix and use. Prepared material should be used within one hours.

2. Spread the mortar over the substrate in a 4-6 mm layer.

3. Trowel to a smooth level surface.

4. After a period of approx 4. After a period of approx. 10 minutes spray the marble chips over the mortar.

5. Tamp the surface with a trowel to embed the chips into the mortar.

6. Clean equipment with clean water immediately after use.

PRECAUTIONS:

1. Do not apply below 8 Degree Celsius as there is risk of efflorescence.

2. Do not apply on horizontal or sloping surfaces.

3. Do not apply on gypsum-based substrates.

4. Do not use at ground level to avoid staining.

5. When applying at high temperatures, ensure that surface is cured for at least 72 hours after application.
