Masonry components
Clean, dry and undamaged hand-formed, face, clinker, silicate and other bricks with absorption from 6 to 17%. More absorbing bricks have to be moistened with water.

Instructions for use
Mix the entire contents of the bag mechanically or manually with specified amount of clean and cold water, to bring the mixture to homogeneous and required consistency. Lay bricks with full joints. Apply the mortar with a trowel and remove the excess after smoothing. After initial setting, profile the joint as required using a grout spreader. Use prepared mix within 3 hours from mixing with water. If the mortar thickens in that period of time, stir it again thoroughly without adding water. Adding too much water impairs all mortar characteristics: adhesion, strength, setting time and resistance to efflorescence. It may also lead the joins to alter their colour. Work carefully and remove any staining without moistening it. It is recommended to use clean, stainless steel tools. To protect the wall from such adverse factors as humidity, precipitation and accumulated snow, it is recommended to treat its entire surface with ALPOL AI 780 nano-impregnating agent. Impregnation should be done after the mortar has set and dried sufficiently, i.e. at least after 7 days from finishing the bricklaying.

Tools
Tilting mixer, low-speed electric mixer, paddle mixer, trowel, grout spreader, brush, container for mortar, container for water dosing.

Working conditions
Work at ambient temperatures between +5°C and +25°C. Before the bricklaying is started, the foundation should be protected against capillary break by making appropriate insulation. Do not add any other agents to the mortar. Protect fresh wall against adverse weather conditions for at least 7 days (rainfall, fast drying, frost) by covering it with foil in such a way as to ensure airflow or by using other appropriate cover/canopy. Do not erect face walls in foggy, rainy or hot days.

Storage
Store in original, unopened packages in dry place – shelf life 12 months from production date. Protect from moisture during transport and storage.

Notes
The specifications and instructions for use are given for the temperature of (20±2)°C and relative air humidity of (65±5)%. The workability may alter in different conditions. Becomes alkaline after mixing with water. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Appropriate eye, respiratory system and skin protection measures should be used. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Keep away from children. Use water to remove fresh dirt or ALPOL AI 770 cleaner to remove hardened dirt. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage caused by unskilful or inappropriate use of the product.

General recommendations
Carry out masonry works in accordance with the ALPOL Nanosystem Operating Instructions, principles of the construction industry, as well as health and safety standards and regulations. Due to the mineral origin of the mortar components and the specificity of the production, slight differences in colour may occur between different batches. For this reason, it is recommended to use material from a single production batch for a given plane of the façade or component, or if this is not possible, to make an earlier test.
