Technical specifications

This product has no technical data sheet: for any question about sizes, texture or compatibility, request information.

How is it used?

1. Spread the mortar over the surface to be textured.

2. Using the EST sprayer, apply EST-Desmoldeante onto the mortar and onto the stamp, until the surfaces are completely covered.

3. While the mortar is still soft, press the stamp onto the surface, holding it by the silicone handle, and repeat section by section until the whole area is covered.

4. Always clean the stamp after use, with a wire brush.

According to the EST-Desmoldeante technical data sheet: waiting times vary with temperature and humidity; the release agent application temperature must be between 5 and 35 ºC; do not use if the mortar has excess water, do not add water once it has been sprayed and do not apply if there is a risk of frost, rain, strong winds or direct sun; wear gloves.

All of them in ESTonetex mortars

•  Other mortars and substrates: also suitable for cementitious mortars and concrete while they are still soft
