    residues and any other foreign matter must be thoroughly removed.
  • Substrates must be clean, dry, sound and homogeneous, free from oils, grease, dust and loose or friable particles. Paint, cement laitance and other poorly adhering contaminants must be removed.
  • Concrete and/or cement screeds must be ground and thoroughly cleaned with an industrial vacuum.
  • Anhydrite screeds, including flowable anhydrite screeds must be ground and thoroughly cleaned with an industrial vacuum shortly before bonding with the adhesive starts.
  • For other substrates contact our Technical Service Department for advice and assistance.
