Application:
Preparation:
It is essential to ensure that adequate preparation is carried out prior to the application of SpECtite RS60. The area to which the mortar will be applied should have a depth of at least 15mm to avoid feather edging. The substrate must be free of dust, laitance, and other contaminants, which should be removed using a high-pressure water jet. Additionally, any oils and greases should also be eradicated.
Mixing:
SpECtite RS60 is a one-part blend of silica sands, cements, and additives. Mix in a suitable container using a trowel. Given the quick setting time of the product, it is crucial only to mix sufficient material that can be used in the available time.
Application Method:
Hand place the mortar, ensuring good compaction against the substrate. Hold the material in place with a gloved hand until the initial set has been achieved.
Limitations:
When used at temperatures above 35°C, the material should be pre-conditioned in a cool environment, and it is advisable to use chilled mixing water to achieve an acceptable working time.
