Kimitech PLUG CRM

Kimitech PLUG CRM is CE marked in compliance with the provisions of EAD 340392-00-0104: “CRM (Composite Reinforced Mortar) Systems for strengthening concrete and masonry structures”, with ETA certificate 24/0114.

Make sure the substrate is completely hardened, resistant and free of loose parts. In the presence of existing degraded plaster, strip the surface until obtaining a substrate with sufficient resistance. Clean and saturate the substrate by low-pressure washing. Remove any efflorescence and salts by washing or mechanical systems such as brushing, sandblasting or hydro-sandblasting.
On particularly irregular or poorly absorbent substrates, before applying the structural mortar, provide a rough coat.
The temperature of the substrate must be between +5°C and +30°C. After carefully preparing the substrate, before applying the first layer of lime-based structural mortar, wet with low-pressure water until completely saturated; any lack of saturation could cause the mortar to not adhere and crack. Apply by hand (with a stainless steel trowel or spatula) or with a plastering machine a first layer of structural mortar for a thickness of about 1.5 cm, leaving the surface sufficiently rough to allow the adhesion of the next layer. Position the alkaline-resistant glass fibre mesh from the Kimitech WALLMESH CRM range, resting it on the still fresh mortar. Proceed to create holes of suitable diameter, at least 4 per m2. Insert the Kimitech PLUG CRM connector and grout the hole with Kimitech EPOXY CTR epoxy resin. Finally apply a second layer of mortar to a thickness of approximately 1.5 cm.
