Lime stone and cement based final layer facing material designed for internal and external surfaces, strengthened with light fiber, creates natural looking surfaces.

This product may be applied in the following areas:

• lining of such surfaces as fine plaster, evenly applied primer, concrete, gas concrete, covered with old paint based on silicates or acrylics;
• lining of heat and sound insulating panels such as CPF (compressed polystyrene foam), EPS (extruded polystyrene foam), and rock-wool (pressed mineral cotton panels) panels;

• the product is prepared based on complex technological formula, so it has high water vapor permeability, and provides perfect facing surfaces for heat insulation systems;
• resistant to variable weather conditions, does not absorb water;
• prevents damping;
• easy application and decoration due to light weight;
• gives natural and decorative appearance to buildings;
• covers defects in the surface;
• in addition to standard colors the material may be painted with silicone masonry paints of different colors;
• spalling resistant due to fiber reinforcement;

Preparation of the Surface. The surface should be clean, healthy and wet. At least 48 hours before application of the FasMineral product (after complete drying) the surface should be treated with the Penoflex 8 plaster to provide a 3-4 mm thick layer. Prior to application of the FasMineral the surface should mandatory be primed with Binmader primer. The FasMineral facing mixture may be applied onto the porous areas like gas concrete and absorptive surfaces after application of thin layer of the Penoflex 8 heat insulating plaster.

Preparation of the mixture. Carefully pour 25 kg of FasMineral product into 6.0 - 7.5 liters of clean and cool water, and prepare the mixture for approximately 10 minutes, using a slow circulation mixer, till the mixture is entirely homogeneous. Adjust the water amount depending on the weather conditions. The mixture may be prepared using appropriate plaster machines, and may be applied onto the surface by spraying. In case of mixing in a machine pay attention to obtaining a completely homogeneous solution. Each batch of the product should be mixed with one and the same amount of water. Otherwise it may create difference in decorative elements appearance and color tone of the treated surfaces. Mix the prepared solution again in 10 minutes.

Application. Apply the prepared homogeneous mixture onto the surface using steel trowel or a suitable spray applicator gun; the excessive amounts of mixture should be removed from the surface to provide the layer of equal thickness. Decorative elements should be applied on the surface in 10 minutes maximum after application of the FasMineral facing mixture. To obtain a neatly patterned granulated surface the smoothing movements should be performed in the direction of the grains orientation . Horizontal, vertical, or circular decorative appearance may be applied with a plastic or polyurethane spattle moving in the required direction. When decorating apply as much force to the spattle as possible. All works on the same surface should be executed using the same batch of the prepared mixture. To provide timely operations on large surfaces required working conditions should be arranged for necessary number of workers, and for continuous supply of mixture to fill the grooves in the places of joints. The mixture prepared for application should be used within 2 hours, depending on weather conditions. Do not use hardened or thick mixture again and do not add water to it.

Recommendations. The product should not be applied in the conditions of direct sun rays, strong wind, high relative humidity, or heavy precipitations. During hardening the mixture applied onto the surface should be protected from freezing, rain or other sources of humidity until the end of the hardening period. If required, a shed should be used. The ambient and surface temperatures should be between +50C and +250C. In case the temperature is above +250C, the surface should be dampened for 3 hours in the morning and in the evening by spraying water over it (without pressure), to prevent excessive loss of water by the mineral facing and decrease of its strength. In normal ambient conditions the surface may be painted in 24 hours.

The dry mixture consumption is 2.6-3.0 kg/m2. Depending on the surface shape and application conditions the consumption may vary.

The product can be stored during 12 months in dry conditions.

• taking into consideration that it is a cement based product containing alkalis, immediately rinse it with large amount of water in case of contact with skin or eyes;
• in case you swallow the product, consult a physician
• keep the product away from children;
• environmental temperatures, absorptive properties of the surface, amount of water added to the mixture, mixing period, presence of primer on the surface, and different batches of the manufactured products may cause difference in color tone of color facings made of FasMineral;
• the surface should mandatory be primed with Binmader primer prior to application of the FasMineral facing;
• to increase resistance of the facing to contamination and environmental impact and to prevent color changes the FasMineral facing should be colored with 2 layers of “Rokol” silicone masonry paint;
• consumption of the paint may differ depending on decorations;
• the color should be checked before application.
