Funcosil AG

The substrate must be clean, dust-free and dry.

Residue (e.g. surfactants, wax) from previous cleaning measures can have adverse effects on the treatment and must therefore be completely removed.

Any construction defects such as cracks, cracked joints, defective connections, rising damp and hygroscopic moisture must be remedied in advance.

Perform any necessary cleaning gently, e.g. by spraying with cold or warm water or by steam-cleaning; use rotec soft whirl jet technology or Remmers cleaning products (e.g. Traffic Film Remover (0671), Clean FP (0666), Clean AC (0672), Combi WR (0675)) on tough stains.

Apply a generous amount of impregnating agent to the wall surfaces. Repeat the process wet-on-wet if necessary. Wipe the surface with a flat brush or a suitable clean cloth. Do not spray the product on.

Using a flat brush, paintbrush or roller, generously apply two coats of Funcosil AG to the floor wet-on-wet. The material may foam slightly when applied by brush. To destroy foam bubbles on the surface and avoid an excess of active material, wipe the floor with a suitable clean cloth.

Cleaning – impurities such as lead pencil, coloured pencils and felt pens, ballpoint pens, grease and oil residue can usually be removed from treated surfaces using conventional cleaning agents (surfactant-free) or V 101 thinner.

Take appropriate measures to protect adjacent building elements and materials that should not come into contact with the product.

Protect freshly treated surfaces from driving rain, wind, sunlight and condensation.

Remove any excess impregnation agent within 1 hour using V 101 thinner.

Tools must be clean and dry.

After use and before prolonged interruptions of work clean tools with Thinner V 101.

If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 24 months.

Use the contents of open containers as quickly as possible.

Clinker: 0.1 - 0.3 l/m²
Brick: 0.2 - 0.4 l/m²
Sand-lime brick: 0.3 - 0.5 l/m²
Concrete: 0.3 - 0.5 l/m²
Granite: 0.1 - 0.2 l/m²
Natural stone: 0.3 - 0.8 l/m²
Terracotta: 0.8 - 1.0 l/m²

Apply to a large enough trial surface (1-2 m²) to determine the precise amount of impregnation agent required.

Current regulations and legal requirements must be taken into account and deviations from these must be agreed separately.

The relevant test certificates must be observed when planning and carrying out work.

Slip resistance may be impaired.

Water must not be allowed to penetrate behind the hydrophobized zone.

Not suitable for materials that are sensitive to solvents, such as polystyrene or bitumen.

The level of absorption is crucial for the impregnation agent to work at its best. This depends on the respective pore volume and moisture content of the building material.

Carry out a quantitative analysis of aggressive salts if there are any salts present that could damage building materials.

High concentrations of harmful salts can cause major structural damage that impregnation cannot prevent.

Larger quantities of leftover product should be disposed of in the original containers in accordance with the applicable regulations. Completely empty, clean containers should be recycled. Do not dispose of together with household waste. Do not allow to enter the sewage system. Do not empty into drains.
