Monolevel 844SP
Class R4 Waterproof Screed and Pore Filler

Product Overview Application Instructions

Waterproof, engineering grade fairing coat & render Preparation
for levelling concrete surfaces and filling blow holes,
honeycombing and other surface defects. Mechanically remove all damaged concrete or failed repairs

Uses ➢ The compressive strength of the parent concrete
should be minimum 20 MPa.
Suitable for repair methods 3.1, 3.3, 7.1, 7.2 as defined by
BS EN 1504-3. The prepared substrate should be thoroughly soaked with
clean water until uniformly saturated without any standing
water.
