weber.thermBase Coat X-treme 

Base Coat may be used :

• in conjunction with weber Glass Fibre Mesh to plaster expanded polystyrene and improve impact resistance
• as a levelling plaster on uneven cement surfaces
• as a thin skim plaster to create even suction on cement surfaces
• as a patching material or filler for concrete or cement plaster surfaces
• as an adhesive for applying expanded polystyrene onto cement surfaces

• Quality assured raw materials
• Exceptional and consistent quality
• Backed by superior technical support
• Suitable for most buildings, including lightweight steel fram e structures

Weber.therm Base Coat X-tremre is supplied in 20kg paper bags.

Coverage is approximately 3.5 to 4m² per bag when applied 3 to 4mm thick.

The surface onto which Base Coat X-treme will be applied :

• must be sound, clean and free of any material which may impair adhesion
• must be true in plane
• must be below 75% RH

Mask all areas where there is a risk of splashing and staining and where straight edges are required.

Masking tape must be removed before the material has dried.

• Combine 20kg of Base Coat X-treme with 4.5 litres of clean water.
• Mix thoroughly.
• A small amount of water may be added if necessary .

It is recommended that a sample be applied on-site to determine the suction of the substrate.

Please note :

Weber.therm Base Coat X-treme is designed to have a textured surface to provide a key for the application of the final finish. It is not possible to create a steel trowelled finish using Base Coat X-treme.

It is advisable to test a sample area on-site before application begins. Surfaces receiving Base Coat X-treme must be below 75% RH.

Onto expanded polystrene

The surface should be dry when application starts.

• Using a 10mm x 10mm notched tiler’s trowel, apply the first layer of Base Coat X-treme by forcing the material tightly against the surface.
• Press the Glass Fibre Mesh onto the surface of the wet Base Coat. 
• Steel trowel immediately to smooth the surface, ensuring that the Glass Fibre Mesh is completely covered.
• Leave overnight to air cure.
• Apply the chosen final finish coating once the moisture content of the Base Coat is below 75% of relative humidity (RH) or below 5% moisture content.

Onto cement surfaces

• Using a 10mm x 10mm notched trowel, apply Base Coat X-treme by forcing the material tightly against the surface and then steel trowel.
• Follow immediately with a sponge roller or wood float to create a textured finish.
• Leave overnight to air cure.
• Apply the chosen final finish coating once the moisture content of the Base Coat is below 75% of relative humidity (RH) or below 5% moisture content.

Note : Glass Fibre Mesh may be used if the substrate needs reinforcing. See the application method for expanded polystyrene above.

Wet the coated walls 3 times during the next day using clean water.

Do not apply :

• if frost is forecast within 24 hours of use
• in damp/wet conditions
• in temperatures below 5^oC or above 30^oC on elevations in direct sunlight or where the substrate is hot

When stored, unopened in a dry place at temperatures above 5^oC, shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture.

Contains cement, which is alkaline when wet and can cause skin irritation. Use eye protection and gloves and avoid prolonged skin contact.

Avoid inhalation of dust. Wash skin contamination away with warm soapy water. Remove splashes to the eyes by prolonged irrigation and consult a doctor. Do not ingest.
