Description:
To achieve a satisfactory result when laying Herkulit 0-4 mm, it is important that the base concrete is correctly mixed and laid. The surface and structure of the base concrete is of crucial importance for the bonding of the top layer. Normally a C25/30 concrete is required if the loads accept it!

Requirements:
In order to ensure that Herkulit 0-4 mm can function optimally, the base concrete must fulfil the following requirements:  

The surface of the concrete base:
The concrete base, generally vacuum-treated or water reduced by using Lino Flow (plasticizer), should be even and of good quality.   
   
Levelness:
The base concrete should be laid sufficiently evenly so that the thickness of the Herkulit 0-4 mm can be kept within the given margins (8-10 mm thick).

Laying instruction:

1. Apply the concrete base as evenly as possible. Advantageous with water reducer Linoflow included or using vacuum system.
2. When the concrete base is walkable, powertrowel the surface with a trowel pan in both directions
3. Mix the Herkulit 0-4, Portland cement CEM 1, Lino Flow, and water in a big mixer in the following proportions; 50 kg Herkulit 0-4mm, 25 kg Portland cement with the WCR 0,36-0,38 and 0,7-1% Lino Flow. Mix until you have a plastic consistence (similar to mortar).
4. Apply the mixture in 10 mm thickness, with a screed/vibrating beam.
5. Powertrowel the surface with trowel pans in both directions at least 5-6 times.
6. Then powertrowel the surface with only finishing blades in both directions at least 3-4 times.
7. Apply Lindolit moisture curing directly after completed trowelling.
8. On the following morning, while using Lindolit W (water based) diluted 1:3, apply a lot of water and cover the whole surface with plastic film and let it stay there for at least 7-14 days.

Consumption per 10 mm and m²:

15 kg Herkulit 0/4
7,5 kg Portland cement CEM 1.
0,3 kg colour pigment (if desired)
water (WCR 0,36-0,38)
≈ 0,07 kg Lino Flow
