Optiplan Base                

The substrate must be firm, free of cracks and capable of supporting a load. Remove unstable surface coatings and/or separating layers (dirt, dust, oil, paint residues etc.).

Expansion joints, movement joints and edge joints must be retained. Apply strips of insulation material to rising components to prevent the compound from flowing into the connection joints.

The substrate must be prepared mechanically to accept resin primers. A selection of methods can be used including: Captive Steel Shot Blasting, Diamond Grinding, Surface Planing or scabbling.

Prime the surfaces with selected epoxy Primer from the Remmers range. See the relevant Technical Data Sheet for more information. Whilst wet, primer should be fully blinded with coarse aggregate and allowed to cure.

Temperature of the material, air and substrate: from min. +5 °C to max. +25 °C

After mixing, pour out the material and spread quickly with a scraper/trowel, then roll with a spiked roller.
Avoid streaks and seams.

Going over the surface with a spiked roller improves the surface quality and must be done.

Do not mix hardened or set mortar with water or fresh material.

Protect fresh mortar surfaces from frost and ensure that they do not dry out too quickly.

When applying Multiple layers, use Epoxy BS2000 Transparent as an intermediate primer and ensure the subsequent layer is placed whilst the primer is still wet/tacky.

Ensure Sufficient primer is used to form a film at the surface.

In the event of any loose material at the surface, ensure this is removed prior to priming/topping.

Mixer, bucket for transporting/pouring, floor scraper, spiked roller, spiked shoes

Clean tools with water while the material is still fresh.

Any material that has already begun to dry can only be removed mechanically.

If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for 6 months.
