Application of Perlite B plus

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
​

For fillings up to 4cm (Perlite Bplus) we recommend the addition of adhesive re-enforcer

Per 100 liter perlite we add one 40 kilos of cement.

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
