Limepor MONO
Natural hydraulic lime-based mortar for making macroporous dehumidifying plasters
Limepor MONO is a ready-to-use restoration mortar based on natural hydraulic lime NHL 3.5 and eco-pozzolan. It allows you to create, with a single product, a restoration system for walls subject to capillary rising damp, with the simultaneous salt-blocking and dehumidifying function.
Applications
Limepor MONO is used to restore walls subject to capillary rising damp on substrates saturated with humidity with a dry surface. The product is used both to create the first roughcast layer and, after 24 hours, for the subsequent plaster. The subsequent smoothing must be carried out once the plaster has completely cured.
Certifications
Limepor MONO is CE marked as a type R CS II restoration mortar according to UNI EN 998-1.
Application
Remove the plaster to a height equal to the maximum point where the humidity is noted, increased by double the thickness of the wall. Clean the surface thoroughly by eliminating inconsistent parts (such as, for example, the mortar between the masonry blocks), grease, old paint and any other material that could compromise the good anchoring of subsequent work. Brush and hydrowash the masonry to saturation. Mix Limepor MONO with drinking water and mix thoroughly in a cement mixer until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Apply the mixture with a trowel or spray, taking care to distribute it uniformly to cover the entire surface, creating a first layer of roughcast with a minimum thickness of 5 mm. Wait 24 hours before applying the next layer, after having moistened the surface of the roughcast previously created. For use with a mechanical plastering machine, mix in the machine like a common premix. For manual application with a trowel, mix in cement mixer for no more than 3-4 minutes. It is recommended to introduce 3/4 of the necessary water into the mixer, then continuously adding the product and the remaining water, until the desired consistency is obtained. The subsequent smoothing must be carried out once the plaster has completely cured (minimum 3 weeks), so as to seal any shrinkage lesions that may arise especially when making thick plasters. In the case of large thicknesses and non-homogeneous or weak supports, it is advisable to insert the Kimitech 350 mesh into the chosen finish. Any final painting must be carried out once the surface has completely dried and using vapour-permeable products.
