SMARGO^® 826

General

For typical application fields of SMARGO^® 826, refer to the section "application". We recommend SMARGO^® 826​​​​​​​ in tile adhesives in a dosage of up to 2%. 

Processing

For the production of ready-mixed dry mortars, such as adhesives and patching compounds, blend SMARGO^® 826​​​​​​​ with the other dry ingredients in appropriate equipment. Temperatures should not be allowed to rise excessively during mixing because otherwise the dispersible polymer powder could agglomerate by virtue of its thermoplastic properties. The mortar is prepared for use by adding the recommended amount of water and mixing mechanically or by hand. Since hand mixing generates little shear force, we recommend allowing the fresh mortar to slake for 5 minutes and then stirring it again. This is usually unnecessary where mechanical mixers are employed.

Packaging

SMARGO^® 826 is available only as a full truck load (FTL) or full container load (FCL), with 25 kg paper bags being the standard packaging. You also have the option of ordering SMARGO^® “bundles” – FTLs or FCLs of different SMARGO^® grades combined at various ratios.

Storage

During storage, protect the product from contact with moisture. Prolonged storage at temperatures above 30 °C, especially in combination with pressure, humidity or exposure to sunlight, may result in blocking. Carefully seal any open containers and store them under suitable conditions. We recommend storing the product in a warehouse that provides cool and dry conditions. Do not store the product for more than six months, starting from the date at which it was received, unless the Certificate of Analysis contains a different date, which would take precedence. If the product is stored longer than recommended, it may still be used but users are advised to verify the properties required for the intended use.
