• Pot Life: 3 hours.

• Slip: $\leq 0.5\text{ mm}$.

• Open Waiting Time: $\geq 0.5\text{ N/mm}^2$ after at least 25 minutes.

• Service Taking Time: 8 – 24 hours.

• Consumption (Double-Sided): Average $3 – 4\text{ kg/m}^2$.

Surface Preparation

• Before application, aerated concrete, pumice, and pressed brick blocks must be checked, and if any are wet, they should be allowed to dry.

• Aerated concrete blocks are cut to the desired size with an aerated concrete saw before building the wall.

• On highly porous surfaces and in hot weather applications (if the surface temperature is above $+25^{\circ}\text{C}$), the surface must be pre-wetted so that it remains moist for a suitable temperature.

• Thus, the adhesive will be prevented from losing its water too quickly.

Application

• The prepared mortar is spread onto the surface using a notched trowel or trowel with appropriate tooth dimensions.

• The prepared mortar must be bonded onto the aerated concrete within 5 minutes.

• If this time has passed, the mortar must be scraped off the surface and discarded.

• The laid bricks should be hammered from the top and sides to make them compatible with the string and straightedge.

• The given consumption amount is theoretical and may vary depending on the application temperature, aerated concrete brick size, surface, and workmanship.

• We recommend performing a sample application for consumption control.
