Morcem^® Cal Acabado CR CSI W2

Technical Characteristics

Product based on natural hydraulic lime, selected aggregates and other additives. Contains no cement.

Advantages and Uses

•    Internal and external render.
•    Suitable for refurbishment due to its high compatibility with traditional systems.
•    For indoor and outdoor application in new-build construction where improved living conditions are required compared with cement-based mortars.
•    Highly permeable to water vapour, allowing the substrate to breathe.
•    High adhesion to the substrate and excellent plasticity.
•    Smooth or float finish.
•    Manual or mechanical application.
•    Plasters and renders.
•    For restoration and new-build work following healthy-building or bioconstruction criteria.
•    Mortar with a low environmental footprint, manufactured with mineral-origin raw materials. It has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
 

Suitable Substrates

•    Apply over hardened substrates previously rendered with Morcem® Cal Base.
•    Thoroughly dampen the substrate and wait until the surface water film has disappeared before application.
•    Do not apply over gypsum, paint or organic coatings.
 

Application Procedure

• To knead the material, add water and mix mechanically until it takes on an even and workable consistency 
• Spread the product with an average thickness of 0.5 cm, not exceeding 0.8 cm for the same layer.
• Cure the material applied for 24 hours after applying, humidifying it and protecting it from the sun.

To assure ensure good compatibility between the surface substrate and the coatings, take the following steps:

•    Before finishing coatings with MORCEM® CAL ACABADO, the substrate must be cured. When applying over MORCEM® CAL BASE, wait 24-48 hours per centimetre of base mortar applied.
•    At least 24 hours before applying MORCEM® CAL ACABADO, thoroughly dampen the substrate.
•    On the day of application, dampen the substrate and wait until the surface sheen has disappeared before spreading MORCEM® CAL ACABADO over it.
•    For mixing, add water and mechanically mix until a homogeneous and workable consistency is obtained.
•    Spread the product to an average thickness of 0.5 cm, without exceeding 0.8 cm in a single coat.
•    Cure the applied material by dampening it and protecting it from direct sunlight for 24 hours after application.

Recommendations

•    Do not apply below 5ºC or above 30ºC.
•    Do not apply where there is a risk of frost, rain, strong winds or direct sunlight.
•    It is advisable to gently spray the product with water on the day after application.
•    Adjust the mixing water, avoiding excess, and allow the required consistency to develop through mixing (3-5 min.). Do not add water to mortar that has already been mixed.
•    The natural origin of the raw materials used in Morcem® Cal mortars may cause slight colour variations between different production batches.

Notas

The information and instructions in this datasheet are based on our current tests and technical knowledge. They are intended as general guidance and do not constitute a binding commitment by PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC. It is the sole responsibility of the user to verify, prior to use, that the product is suitable for the intended application and to ensure that it is applied correctly and in accordance with applicable regulations and good industry practice.

PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC cannot control how its products are applied on site throughout the entire project and therefore cannot accept responsibility for their application by contractors or other parties involved in the execution of the work. Support visits to the jobsite by our technical staff do not change that. Our responsibility is limited exclusively to defects that can be directly attributed to the supplied products, whether used individually or as part of a system, caused by manufacturing defects.

It is the responsibility of the project designer, site manager, contractor, or other relevant professionals to ensure that the selected products are appropriate for the specific project, taking into account their properties, the substrate, site conditions, and any existing issues.

In the event of a claim, the original packaging must be provided to ensure proper product traceability.

Any performance values stated for PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC products or construction solutions, whether in UNE standards or other applicable standards, are based solely on the specific test conditions defined in those standards (such as substrate type, temperature, and humidity). These values may not apply to situations where products are tested or used under different conditions.
