Mauersan
The widespread porosity of Mauersan makes it possible to have adequate expansion chambers for the crystallization of soluble salts (possibly mobilized during the first application phases of the plastering cycle). The Mauersan premix is fiber-reinforced with anti-shrinkage microfibers, it is entirely formulated with raw materials substantially free of soluble salts, it does not contain organic vapor generating substances (VOC) or other raw materials harmful to the health of operators, the environment and the substrates in masonry.
Fields of application
Brick, stone and concrete walls, both old and new, subject to capillary rising damp.
Allowed supports
Bricks
Tuff
Mixed walls (bricks and stones)
Brickworks
Stone walls
Natural stones
Preparation of supports
โข Remove the plaster up to more than 50 cm above any evident humidity or degradation.
โข Remove all loose, crumbly or "rotten" joints, remove the joints from bedding mortars when they are excessively crumbly or inconsistent.
โข In the presence of surface salts, proceed with scraping and brushing up to the edge of the masonry. In the case of strong saline concentrations deriving from particular conditions (stables, salt deposits, walls in contact with brackish water, environments reached by marine aerosol and other critical situations) evaluate the combination of the dehumidifying plaster with chemical barriers (see technical data sheets of CONSILEX BARRIER A, Consilex Inject Mauer, Consilex Barrier Cream products) and / or extraction packs based on adsorbent clays, and / or spraying of Sanareg saline inhibitor.
โข Thorough general cleaning.
โข The regularization of the masonry (any alignments and plumbing), the filling of large cavities, etc., will be carried out after the preparation described above using the Untersana mortar, mixed to the right consistency, possibly with the aid of recollections and / or replacements of particularly deteriorated stone elements.
Mode of use
โข Where necessary, to promote adhesion of the plaster, apply a transpiring render made with the specific Untersana preparation. The Untersana rough coat, given as a "sprinkle", must create a rough, corrugated surface, capable of favoring the adhesion of the subsequent plaster.
โข The application of Mauersan in two coats is recommended. The first coat should be applied a few hours after applying Untersana (swollen but still fresh), to favor a perfect bond between the two products. The second coat must be applied with a uniform thickness when the first coat of INTOBRATHE is well hardened (wait approximately 24 hours between first and second coat). The application can be carried out with manual methods (trowel, trowel) or mechanical spray methods. In the case of applications with a plastering machine, to allow adequate and homogeneous mixing of the product, it is recommended not to use continuous cycle machines.
โข Prepare the plaster by adding Mauersan to the mixing water, continuing to mix until the desired mixture is obtained and the complete elimination of lumps. It is advisable to apply a minimum thickness of 2.5 cm. For thicknesses greater than 2.5 cm provide for the insertion of Armaglass Intotech 225 reinforcement mesh.
โข Protect fresh surfaces from direct sunlight, rain and wind, take care of prolonged humid curing.
โข Regularize the plastered surfaces with a fine, highly breathable lime-based smoothing compound, Sanastof.
