Application of Perlite B
1. Application
​
-
Filling up floors at a thickness of 4cm up to 1 cm in one go
​
-
For larger thickness two or more successive layers can be applied, at intervals of about 3-4 hours
​
-
The application surface has to be dust-free and clean
​
-
The application surface needs to be leveled Watering of the sub-surface
​
-
For fillings up to 4cm (Perlite Bplus) we recommend the addition of adhesive re-enforcer
​
-
We then are ready to apply our lightweight concrete
2. Preparing the Mix
​
-
Per 100 liter perlite we add one 40 kilos of cement.
​
-
In the mix we add up to 40 liters of water in order to achieve the required fluidity level.
​
-
We put Perlite Bplus or Perlite B in the pumping machine We add cement and we mix
​
-
We add water and we mix
3. Comments
​
-
In the first day of the application the spraying of the surface with a thin layer of water is necessary to prevent cracks
​
-
Brushing should be carried out the same day or at the latest the day after
​
-
For better results we recommend the use of piston/pumping machines
​
-
For external surfaces (roofs, balconies, etc) we recommend applying water-resistant insulation (in liquid form) prior to applying tiles 7-15 days required for drying up
