Additional information

Technical Characteristics

Product based on NHL 3,5 natural hydraulic lime, CL90 air lime, pozzolan, mineral fillers 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 and burnished finish.
  • Manual application.
  • Fine decorative finish for lime mortars.
  • Mortar with a low environmental footprint, manufactured with mineral-origin raw materials. It has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
     

Suitable Substrates

  • On substrates previously treated with MORCEM® CAL ACABADO.
  • Thoroughly dampen the substrate and wait until the surface water film has disappeared before application.
  • Do not apply over gypsum or paint.
     

Application Procedure

MANUAL APPLICATION

  • Add water (6,0-6,3 l per 15 kg bag) and mechanically mix until a homogeneous and workable consistency is obtained.
  • Mix, adjusting the water to the recommended amount and avoiding excess, allowing the desired consistency to develop through prolonged mixing. 
  • Prepare the substrate by dampening it beforehand and wait until the surface water film has disappeared.
  • Spread the mixed product over the substrate with a trowel, pressing firmly onto the substrate to ensure adhesion and prevent air entrapment.
  • Apply to a thickness not exceeding 2 mm.
  • At least 24 hours before application, thoroughly dampen the substrates. Cure the applied material for 24 hours after application. Wait 24-48 hours per cm. of base render thickness before applying Morcem® Cal Acabado Extrafino.
     

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.
  • In extreme weather conditions (strong winds or high temperatures), gently spray the product with water on the day after application.
  • Do not apply directly onto the wall substrate (brick, concrete block, etc.)
  • Do not add water to mortar that has already been mixed once it begins to harden.

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.
