TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

WAT 500

Adhesive and Reinforcement Base-Coat Plaster for Insulation Boards

Cement-based hydrophobic mixture for bonding and plastering of mineral wool thermal insulation boards

---

PURPOSE

WAT 500 is a cement-based adhesive and base-coat plaster with added fine mineral fillers, reinforced mono fibres, and polymer additives. It is designed for bonding mineral wool boards on walls and ceilings during the construction of new buildings as well as the renovation of old ones.

The application of a protective reinforcement base-coat with WAT 500 prevents insulation boards from “aging” and protects them from weather conditions. The product ensures waterproofing and crack resistance of the finished layer, while also safeguarding the insulation layer against mechanical damage.
It creates an excellent basis for decorative facade finishes with high-quality silicone plaster such as SICOLIT.

---

PROPERTIES

• Easy to apply

• Sufficient open time (for work)

• Cold resistant

• Impact resistant (with a 3 mm thickness of the layer)

• Vapour-permeable

---

PREPARATION OF THE BASE

WAT 500 has excellent adhesion to various construction surfaces, such as bricks, concrete, plasters, cement, and gypsum base-coats.
The base must be dry, well-cleaned, and strong.
Application over oil (grease) stains, dust, and other contaminants is not allowed. Old unstable plasters and other coatings must be removed.

Bases with high absorption, such as aerated concrete or gypsum blocks, should be primed in advance with deeply penetrating primer TERAZID G-55.

---

CHARACTERISTICS AND TECHNICAL DATA

• Colour: Grey

• Base: Cement

• Density: 1.4 kg/l

• Work temperature: +5°C to +30°C

• Time for “maturing”: 10 minutes

• Time for bucket stay: About 3 hours

• Open time (for work): 30 minutes

• Time for final bonding and subsequent operations: 14 days

• Recommended thickness of the base coat layer: 3 mm

---

APPLICATION AND PROCESSING

For the complete dissolution of 25 kg of WAT 500, around 6.5 litres of water are required.
In a pre-prepared container with water, the necessary amount of dry mixture is poured and stirred using a mechanical mixer until a homogeneous mass is achieved. The stirred mixture should be left to mature for 8–10 minutes, then stirred once again before use.

Bonding:

• On smooth and flat surfaces, the prepared solution is applied resembling a comb using a notched mortar-board with edge sizes of 8–10 mm.

• On rough surfaces, the solution is applied around the entire outer rim of the insulation panel in a strip 4–5 cm wide, with additional “pillows” of adhesive placed in several spots in the center area of the panel.

Note: Additional fixing of the insulation with anchors can begin no earlier than 3 days after bonding (at temperatures not lower than 20°C).

PLASTERING

After the boards are anchored, WAT 500 can be used as a base-coat.
The solution is prepared in the same way and is uniformly applied. After that, the reinforcement fiberglass mesh is applied vertically, tightly pressed, and smoothed using a mortar-board.
The recommended thickness of the base-coat layer is 3 mm.

---

CONSUMPTION

• Bonding: 5–5.5 kg/m², depending on the base

• Reinforcing: 4 kg/m²

---

TOOLS FOR WORK

• Bucket

• Electrical drill and stirrer

• Trowel

• Mortar-board

• Lute

---

WEATHER CONDITIONS AT WORK

The minimum 24-hour temperature of the air and the base should not be lower than +5°C, and the maximum should not be higher than +30°C.
It is not recommended to apply WAT 500 when the air humidity is high, if rain is forecasted, or during rainfall.

---

FORM OF DELIVERY

• Dry mixture in paper packages of 25 kg

---

NOTES
