SURFACE PREPARATION

The substrate must be hard, sound and free of dust and other barrier materials such as paint, lime coatings, plaster, curing agents, laitance, adhesive residues etc., that will inhibit adhesion to the substrate. All vertical surfaces must be of a rigid construction to resist deflection during the application process.

Use suitable Degreaser to remove polish, wax, grease, oil and similar contaminating substances prior to mechanical preparation. Contaminated substrates should be mechanically prepared, either by grinding or contained shot blasting equipment or similar, and be vacuumed clean prior to applying IF - 5 P.

NOTE : Any joints or cracks in the substrate where differential movement is anticipated e.g. movement joints, should be brought through to the finished surface.

PRIMING

All substrates must first be primed with IF N18 Primer. One or more coats may be required depending upon the condition and porosity of the substrate.

MIXING

The contents of Part A and Part B of IF 5P must first be mixed together for 1 minute, using forced action, in a suitably sized mixing vessel. The contents of part C and Part D should then be introduced into the mixed resin and mixed together for a further 2 minutes to create one homogeneous mix.

APPLICATION

Once the tack coat has achieved the required tack, the mixed material should be applied to the prepared and primed substrate without delay using a trowel to achieve the desired thickness and coving profile.
NOTE : Do not overwork the surface and do not mix more than can be used within the working time.

The work area should be protected during the installation process and during the initial curing time to ensure that no airborne debris can contaminate the surface of the wet resin as this will lead to unwanted blemishes in the hardened, and cured surface.
All movement joints in the substrate must be carried through the wall and coving render and properly sealed. Construction joints and cracks not subject to movement may be overlaid but should the substrate move in anyway, these defects will reflect through the wall and coving render. Isolation joints will need to be allowed for in areas where high thermal movement is anticipated, e.g. around ovens and freezers.
