Due to their water repellent properties, screeds and mortars produced with ASO-EZ4-Plus offer increased protection against frost damage and efflorescence. As a water repellent, rapid setting mortar bed when installing natural stone and tiles externally and in wet areas such as balconies, terraces, loggia, stairwells, swimming pools, damp environments, car washes and water containers. Screeds produced with ASO-EZ4-Plus are suitable as either bonded, unbonded, floating or heated screeds, whether as a wearing finish or as a substrate for tiles, slabs or natural stone. For installation the general regulations for cementitious screeds DIN 18560 and DIN 18353 apply. The substrate must be able to take the loading according to DIN 1055. In duty wet areas falling under the wet area classifications (FBK) 0, A02, B0 according to the ZDB Worksheet [*1], produce screeds with ASO-EZ4-PLUS and the proper SCHOMBURG waterproofing system. In wet areas under the classifications A2, B and C according to general building codes, such as swimming pools and pool decks and public showers, produce screeds with ASO-EZ4-PLUS and the proper SCHOMBURG waterproofing system.

Product preparation: For preparation we recommend using the Brinkmann screed boy with a 65 mm hose diameter, or other conventional screed mixers PFT, Putzmeister Mixocret or similar. Pay attention to the water addition and avoid excess water. The working time is approx. 60 minutes at +20° C. Mixing, application and finishing must follow each other swiftly. Only measure out areas that can be completed within this working time. Higher temperatures reduce and lower temperatures lengthen the working time and setting time. With bonded screeds first brush ASOCRET-HB-flex into the mechanically abraded concrete substrate. Lay the screed into the wet slurry coat. The general regulations for cement-based screeds DIN 18560 and 18353 should be followed for screed laying. Mixing recommendations for mixing and rotary feed machines: In a conventional mixing machine with rotary feed with a 220 litre mix capacity e.g. Brinkmann screed-boy, PFT, Putzmeister Mixocret or similar mix together a total of 250 kg ASO-EZ4-Plus with 16 – 20 litres water. This relates to a mixer capacity of approx. 80% - which is generally recommended by the equipment manufacturers. Observe the following procedures: First half fill the mix vessel with 125 kg of ASO-EZ4-Plus and approx. 10 litres water. Then fill with the rest of the 125 kg of ASO-EZ4-Plus and 6 – 10 litres of water. Keep to a total mix time of approx. 4 minutes as only then can all components be dispersed and the final consistency achieved. Mixing recommendations for a free-fall mixer: First add 4 litres of water, 100 kg ASO-EZ4-Plus and a further 2.5 – 4.0 litres of water. Subsequently mix for 5 minutes and adjust the consistency with the addition of water from semi-dry to stiff plastic. Protect the screed from drying out too quickly e.g. from heat or drafts. Screeds are ready to receive tiled finishes after 3 days with a water addition of 1.7 litres per 25 kg ASO-EZ4-Plus, an ambient and substrate
temperature of +23° C, a relative humidity of 50% and a thickness of 5 cm. Confirmation should be sought by measuring the moisture content with a carbide hygrometer. Important advice: • Instead of using ASOCRET-HB-flex, an alternative slurry bonding coat can be produced using ASOPLAST-MZ diluted 1:2 with water and a screed mortar composed of 25 kg ASO-EZ4-Plus and 5 kg ASO-EZ4. • Please refer to the technical data sheets for the products mentioned above! • When too short a mix time is selected or the material is not mixed intensively enough then the dispersion of all components is not guaranteed. Early installation of floor finishes and high strength is no longer given! • The determination of the screed’s readiness to receive floor finishes should be carried out using a carbide hygrometer. Keep to the limiting values (see table 1). • Lower temperatures, high humidity and thick screeds delay the setting, drying and achievement of readiness for laying finishes (see also the BEB data sheet “climatic requirements for the drying of screeds”). Trials have shown that at lower temperatures (+5° C to +12° C) the binding of the water proceeds at a strongly delayed rate so that the readiness to receive floor finishes is achieved later. • Water that bleeds to the surface indicates too much water (more than 2 litres of water per 25 kg ASO-EZ4-Plus)! • ASO-EZ4-Plus can bind up to approx. 8% of its weight of water in a crystalline way. Anything above this level has to evaporate and consequently delays the readiness to receive finishes! • Where rising dampness is present a functioning damp proof membrane is necessary prior to the installation of the screed! • Ventilation is necessary on the building site. The interior and floor temperature must be a minimum of +5°C during installation and for one week afterwards. De-humidifiers may not be used in the first 3 days!

The measurements with the carbide hygrometer are to be carried out in accordance with the current working instructions of the FBH-AD from the technical information “coordination of cut out areas with heated floor construction”.
•D o not add any cement or other binders! • P erimeter, bay, construction and movement joints are to be carried through or incorporated in the designated position and composed of suitable material e.g. edging strip. Crack control joints are to be cut into the top third of the installed screed. •D o not add any additives or other materials. • T he relevant current regulations are to be observed. E.g. DIN 18157, DIN 18352, DIN 18560, DIN EN 13813, DIN 1055 The BEB data sheets distributed by the National Association for Screeds and Finishes.
