It has excellent workability, with high adhesion and resistance, excellent performance per m² and easy to apply. Simply mix water in the correct proportion and apply with a trowel or projector. After application, the wall is ready to be painted. Allows painting with water-based acrylic paints.

MEETS THE STANDARDS: NBR 13281, NBR 13749.

Usage

MASSAPOP FINA is indicated for application on masonry walls and ceilings with smoothed plaster, apparent concrete. It can be used for application in decorative effects.

Composition

White Cement, selected mineral fillers and special additives.

Color

MASSAPOP FINA is supplied in white

Yield

The consumption of MASSAPOP FINA when applied on plastered walls is approximately 2 kg per m². The approximate consumption of MASSAPOP FINA can also be determined in the following way: Calculate 1.5 kg per m² per millimeter of thickness to be applied. Yield may vary depending on conditions and preparation of the base.

Storage

It must be kept at room temperature, in a dry and ventilated place, on pallets.

Validity

MASSAPOP FINA is valid for 24 months, in its original closed packaging.

Packaging

Plastic package with 18 kg.

Surface preparation

Sand the surface and remove all loose particles. It must be firm and in good condition, free of moisture, dust, grease, mold or mildew. Plasters must be at least 14 days old. Fill any holes or gaps with the putty and wait 24 hours for application. Very irregular surfaces or surfaces with major imperfections, smooth using MASSAPOP MEDIA. Any cracks must be stabilized. If you have a problem with rising damp or with the possibility of future dampness, you must first waterproof with SELAMIX. On painted surfaces, deep sanding must be done, removing the paint layer, allowing the product to anchor in the cementitious base.

Product preparation

Calculate the required amount. Add the amount of water needed to prepare the product in a clean container. Dilute 18 kg of FINA MASSAPOP in approximately 33% of water, that is, 6 liters. Add the product little by little to the water and mix preferably with a mechanical mixer for 3 minutes, until obtaining a pasty, homogeneous mass, without lumps, ideal for application. After preparing the product, beat every 10 minutes. The product must be applied in a maximum of 1 hour.

For every 18 kg of FINA MASSAPOP add 6 liters of water.

Application

It is ideal to wet the surface to be applied. Application must be carried out at temperatures between 10 and 30° C. Do not apply under strong sunlight. MASSAPOP FINA should be applied in 2 to 3 layers for a smooth finish. Apply the FINA MASSAPOP on the wall with a paint roller or with a projection machine, then level it with a steel trowel. Wait 20 minutes to apply the next coat in the same way, applying the putty and leveling again with a trowel in a crosswise direction. Wait for pre-drying to apply the third coat of finish directly with the trowel with a thin layer again in reverse direction. The final thickness after applying the three coats should not exceed 2.5mm. It is recommended to sand the entire area after the first few days of application, using putty sandpaper. A polished finish can also be given. Wait for superficial drying to start polishing with a steel trowel. If any flaws arise after the end of application and curing of the product, these can be corrected with the product itself, using a steel trowel.

Painting

Wait for a minimum of 15 days to dry before finishing with paint, following the paint manufacturer’s instructions.

Cleaning

Equipment and tools can be cleaned with water while the product is not dry. After drying, clean the tools mechanically.
