3 Modo d uso: Le parti da incollare o stuccare devono essere pulite, perfettamente asciutte e prive di polvere. Aggiungere al mastice il 2% in peso del catalizzatore, mescolare accuratamente ed applicare avendo cura di far aderire bene il mastice al supporto, esercitando con la spatola una leggera pressione. A indurimento avvenuto, il mastice è levigabile e lucidabile dopo circa due ore con gli stessi attrezzi impiegati per lavorare la pietra. Spessori consigliati: nella stuccatura di superfici particolarmente estese non superare i 5 mm per ogni applicazione. Per spessori maggiori, eseguire più applicazioni. Usage: The surfaces to be treated must be clean, fully dry and dust free. Add to the mastic 2% of hardener in weight mix thoroughly and apply making sure the mixture is properly applied on the surface by using a little pressure on the spatula. After a couple of hours, when hardened, it is possible to grind and polish with the standard tools used in stone processing. Recommended thickness: in big areas not more than 5mm at a time and for more thickness apply in several layers.

4 MASTIC 2000 STRAW YELLOW LIQUID (BEIGE BUFF FLOWING) Description: Two pack mastic for marble and stone, based of unsatured polyester resins. It hardens quickly after adding its hardener. It has good adhesive power and thanks to its fluidity, it penetrates into the hollowness and porosity of the stone. After hardening, it can be worked as the stone. It is possible to alter the colour by adding Bellinzoni colour paste tubes or colour oxide powders. It is resistant to most of the chemicals such as oils, fats, detergents, solvents, etc. Technical Characteristics: Appearance Liquid Colour available 02 Light straw yellow 03 Straw yellow 04 Dark straw yellow Odour Characteristic Specific gravity at 20 C (68 F) 1,76 ± 0,01 Hydro-solubility Insoluble ph Catalysis ratio: Bending tension ASTM D638: Breaking Tension Bending flexion ASTM D790: Maximum strength at break Shelf life at 20 C (68 F) Instruction for Use: n.a. 2% in weight [Check technical bulletin for hardener for more information] Mpa ± 479 Mpa 32,5 ± 2,1 0,6 ± 0,1 % Mpa ± 320 Mpa 54,5 ± 4,5 1,1 ± 0,1 % 6 months in its original packing The area to be glued or filled must be clean, perfectly dry and dust free. Add 2% of paste hardener in weight to the mastic, mix thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained and apply with a spatula on horizontal or vertical surface. In cold season, it is possible to increase quantity of hardener up to 3%. Once hardened after a couple of hours, the mastic can be grinded and polished. For materials with porosity or holes very big (Travertine) we suggest to make a second application.

5 MASTIC 2000 STRAW YELLOW LIQUID (BEIGE BUFF FLOWING) Suggestion for Use: Do not use the hardener in quantity more than 4% as it will reduce adhesion of the product and also reduces the working time and could cause a color variation. Never catalyze the total quantity of the mastic at one time in order to avoid mass effect because the mastic will dry quickly. Do not use hardener in quantity less than 1% and/or at low temperature (below 5 C 41 F) which makes catalyzation time very long. Do not use the coloring paste in quantity more than 2% as it could prejudice the adhesion. After the mixing with hardener, the product has a working time between 3 and 15 minutes. Stone can be moved after 20 minutes from treatment. Read carefully recommendations printed on the tin before use. Application on surfaces: Marble, granite, terrazzo, engineered stones, sandstone, limestone, resin marble, concrete. Safety procedures: Packing: As far as the proper working procedures is concerned, we recommend to consult Material Safety Data Sheets issued according to E.U. rules and to follow your national laws concerning safety in the working place. Cardboards of: 9 tins of 1,600 kg (56 oz), 2 tins of 7 kg (15,40 lb); 1 tin of 28,50 kg (62,80 lb) hardener included. The composition of the tins is Steel (ACC). After use, comply with the local and national regulations currently in force regarding recycling. Our packing is conformed to the U.N. rules for inland transport (A.D.R.) and by sea (I.M.O.); for transportation via air refer to updated rules (I.A.T.A.).

Too much hardener can sensibly shorten the working time for the mixing and this will result in the resin to change colour (yellowish). Never mix an entire tin at the same time, just mix smaller quantities. The quantity of the paste hardener to be used can be in weight or in centimetres, see below table.

Moreover when too much hardener is used the mastic once hardened will change colour. Too little hardener below 1% will not allow the polymerisation to happen therefore the resin will not harden and will just remain a sticky mass precluding goods resutls. When working protect the eyes, hand and all exposed sensitive part of the body. Never mix different hardeners together after ahving added one hardener to the resin. When using colouring such as BELLINZONI colour paste or powders add the hardener at the last moment after the colouring of the resin has been completed.

Read carefully recommendations printed on the tin before use. Safety procedures: As far as the proper working procedures is concerned, we recommend to consult Material Safety Data Sheets issued according to E.U. rules and to follow your national laws concerning safety in the working place.
