Preparation of the Surface
Every surface must be compact, smooth, loadbearing,
dry, clean and without any film (grease,
dust, etc.) which would reduce adhesiveness.
Apply TO-TP polysilicate plaster on a reinforced
layer of TO-KU universal adhesive which has
been treated with TO-GP primer for polysilicate
plasters. The reinforced layer can be primed after
at least 3 days after it is made. Apply the plaster
after the primer is completely bonded with the
surface, no earlier, however, than approx. 24
hours after the priming has been completed (in
adverse conditions, this duration may be extended).
Clean and level old “loose” plaster, peeling paint
and other dirt before applying TO-TP polysilicate
plaster to other surfaces. Minor uneven spots and
cavities may be repaired with TO-KU universal
adhesive. TO-TP polysilicate plaster can be applied
on cement or cement/lime plaster surfaces after approx. 28 days, on concrete surfaces after
approx. 3 months. The humidity of the surface
should not exceed 4%. Before applying TO-TP
polysilicate plaster, treat surfaces with TO-GP
polysilicate primer. Do the priming at least 24
hours before starting the plastering.
Implementation
Mix the content of the container thoroughly. The
consistency can be adjusted by pouring a little
water (max. 1%) and mixing again. Apply the plaster
on the surface with a steel trowel to the grain
thickness. The required structure is obtained by
rubbing in the layer with a plastic trowel. In order
to eliminate traces of joints, it is necessary to apply
separate architectural elements in one working
cycle by means of so-called “wet on wet” method,
retaining uniform consistency of the plaster of the
same date of manufacture. In order to avoid any
visible differences in the successive cycles of
applying the plaster on one surface, use plaster of
the same manufacturing batch and the same consistency.
Do not sprinkle the plaster with water.
Protect the applied plaster against direct exposure
to sunlight, rain and wind by applying protective
sheeting on the scaffolding. Do not leave the
packaging open. After it has been opened, use as
soon as possible.
Do not use rusted or dirty tools. Rinse off fresh
smudges with water. After it hardens, the plaster
can only be removed mechanically. Do not mix
the plaster with other plasters, mortars, pigments,
additives, etc.
During the work and while the plaster is drying,
the temperature of the surface and the environment
should be between +8°C and +25°C, and
relative humidity should not exceed 80%.
Caution
In case of contact of the product with eyes or skin,
rinse them with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
Keep away from children.
During work, wear protective clothing and eye
protectors.
User safety
In addition to the above recommendations, follow
good building practice and work-safety rules. The
manufacturer warrants the quality of the product
but has no influence on the manner, place and
conditions of its storage and application. Building
work should be done by professionally qualified
contractors.
The conditions for the preparation of the plaster
and method of its application may have an effect
on the colour obtained, which may differ from the
colour in the colour chart. Minor differences in the
colour shade do not constitute a product defect.
