FK-6 Plus

DESCRIPTION AND RECOMMENDED USE: FAKOLITH FK-6 Plus is a special, transparent bluish, low odour, fast drying water-based epoxy primer with a high damp/humidity blocking power and excellent adhesion. Ideal for priming absorbent mineral surfaces and contributing to the blocking of damp in the base material. An ideal primer for waterproof paints, such as Disperlith Elastic, Disperlith FoodGrade Elastic and FK-18 ERC. When combined with Elite micro-mortars it provides an excellent epoxy-cement blocking primer. In general for use in the food industry, health sector, in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry in general, construction and civil engineering.

HOW TO APPLY AS A BLOCKING PRIMER: Following an adequate preparation of the surface, slowly pour component B of FAKOLITH FK-6 Plus into component A, mix together gently using an electric mixer, for at least 2 minutes or until the components have blended completely, and then leave to rest for 1 minute before starting to apply. When mixing always use complete batches of component A and component B, to avoid errors in the mixing ratio. Apply 2 coats of the product using a brush, roller or spray gun. Drying times and the length of time you will have to wait between coats will depend on the actual thickness of each coat, temperature, level of relative humidity and ventilation, although in general a second coat can be added within 4 hours. Following the second coat leave for 12-24 hours to dry before applying the corresponding coat of paint or rendering. For more information consult the specifications sheet and/or application guidelines and the safety sheet.

AVERAGE YIELD AS A BLOCKING PRIMER: FAKOLITH FK-6 Plus yields from 4 to 10 m²/l of the blend of components A+B, although this may vary significantly, depending on how it is applied and the texture and absorption of the surface.

HOW TO APPLY AS A CEMENT BLOCKING PRIMER:

1. Following an adequate preparation of the surface, slowly pour component B of FAKOLITH FK-6 Plus into component A, mix together gently using an electric mixer, for at least 2 minutes or until the components have blended completely together, then add the necessary quantity of Elite micro-mortar and continue mixing until a smooth blend has been obtained. Leave to rest for 1 minute before starting to apply.

2. Apply 2 well-worked coats using a roller or wide brush and then lay on a fibreglass mesh, resistant to alkaline attack, traction and elongation. The holes in the mesh must not be larger than 5 x 5 mm. As the first coat is applied the mesh can be pressed down using either a metal roller, or the same roller that is being used to apply the primer.

3. After drying a second coat can be applied. Drying times, plus the length of time that it is necessary to wait will depend on the actual thickness of each coat, temperature, level of relative humidity and ventilation, although in general it should be possible to add a second coat within 4 hours. Following the second coat leave for 12-24 hours to dry before applying the corresponding coat of paint or rendering. For more information consult the specifications sheet and/or application guidelines and the safety sheet.
