Filkret 400 is a cement based surface repair and restoring mixture, monocomponent, polymerizable, having high stability. The product conforms to the requirements of the 039-2000 (TS 11140-1993) standard: “Adhesives – cement based (hydraulic conjunction), suitable for glazed, ceramic, and floor tiles”.

This repair mixture can be applied in the following areas:

• plastering and repair of walls and ceilings;
• repair and plastering of dry concrete surfaces;
• providing even surfaces before laying ceramic and glazed tile facings.

• the product is mixed with water only, easy applicable;
• provides correct preparation of surfaces;
• easily accepts dyes due to white color;
• provides high adhesive ability to concrete and plastered surfaces;
• easily applicable on large surfaces;
• does not form cracks;
• possesses high thixotropic properties;
• resistant to frosty and warm conditions.

Preparation of the surfaces. Cement based building surfaces to be repaired should be rigid, clean and dust-free, they should be totally free of any fat, rust, and paraffin residues deteriorating adhesive force. The surface should be cleaned from metal and wooden particles, and all cavities up to 4cm deep should be filled with MATON 200 repair mixture. Provide water saturation of the surface to be treated with the mixture, however there should not be free water remained on the surface.

Preparation of the mixture. Pour appropriate amount of water measured with the help of a measuring device into clean container, and gradually add the Filkret 400 repair mixture. Prepare this mixture for 4 minutes using 400-600 RPM mixer till the mixture is entirely homogeneous. Mix again in approximately 4 minutes during 30-minute period, bringing the product to conditions ready for application.

Application. Spread the prepared mixture over the surface to form 1 – 30mm thick layer using a trowel. Let the mixture dry, and splash water on the surface of the spread mixture using plaster brush. Then correct the surface in required manner using steel or wooden trowel. In case of applying the Filkret 400 product in the open area on large open surfaces, especially in the warm, dry and windy weather conditions, prevent evaporation of the solution during 24-48 hours using soaked cloth, duck fabric, or any other active solution.

Recommendations. Once prepared for repair works the Filkret 400 product should be used within 30 minutes at +200C temperature. For +320C temperature this period is reduced to 20 minutes. In case of the product application on external surfaces they should be protected from direct sun rays, wind, rain and/or frost during 24 hours. Application and reaction rate of cement based systems can be affected by the ambient temperature and other conditions, including the air humidity. Low temperatures elongate the hydration period, and result in increasing the product effective life. High temperatures reduce the hydration period, and result in decrease of the above mentioned period. To provide full hardening of the mixture the ambient temperature should not drop below the specified minimum value. After use all hand tools and devices should be cleaned with water. After hardening the Filkret 400 product can be removed from the surface by mechanical means only.

The required amount of the mixture consumed to obtain 1mm thick layer is 1.38 kg/m2.

The product can be stored during 12 months packed in original sacks in dry and cold conditions. For the short storage period the sacks can be placed one upon the other in three layers. In case of long-term storage the product packages should not be laid one upon another. The product in unpacked sacks should be used within one week provided the required storage conditions are maintained.
