Basic-Fix Bond
Polymer-modified, cement-based, adhesive mortar for EPS thermal insulation boards
Basic-Fix Bond is a polymer-modified, cement-based, one-component mortar.
Contains cement, limestone fillers and improving special additives. It offers high mechanical strength and excellent adhesion to all standard building substrates.
The right combination of resins, cellulose and selected aggregates offers the appropriate workability, facilitating the application of the adhesive on substrates with unevenness.
It is classified as a GP CS-IV Wc1 rendering mortar according to ΕΝ 998-1.
Advantages
- Thixotropic (with “filling” properties).
- Excellent adhesion to the substrate.
- High mechanical strength.
- Resistance to moisture and frost.
- Excellent workability.
- Οutdoor & indoor usage.

How to Use
Basic-Fix Bond has very good adhesion to all standard substrates such as concrete, bricks, plasters, cement blocks, cement boards, gypsum boards, aerated concrete etc. The substrate must be sound, even, free from loose and foreign parts (e.g. residues of mud, plasters, paints, oils, etc.), without large cracks. Also, the substrate must be stable, free from shrinkage, deformation tensions and vibrations. Light soaking with water before use is recommended. On highly absorbent surfaces (e.g. aerated concrete, gypsum boards) priming is recommended using micromolecular acrylic primer Eco Dur Aqua by KRAFT PAINTS. For more information please contact Technical Support.
In a clean container add 5.5-6 lt of clean water and gradually empty the contents of a 25Kg bag of Basic-Fix Bond product. Stirring constantly with a low-speed mixer so that a homogeneous paste is obtained. Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes and repeat stirring for a while. The mixture is ready to use for the next 2.5 hours. It is forbidden to add extra water to correct the workability of the mortar. This will reduce strength and increase shrinkage.
Application as adhesive / Level surfaces: Basic-Fix Bond is applied to the thermal insulation board with the smooth side of spatula and then combed with the serrated side in order to be uniformly applied on the whole surface. Uneven surfaces: Basic-Fix Bond is spread with a trowel around the perimeter of the thermal insulation board and on 2-3 center points.
Tools should be cleaned immediately after application with plenty of water while the material is still fresh or otherwise mechanically. Remove as much material as possible from tools before cleaning.
