VIGA Fill

Description

“VIGA Fill”, is a leveling plaster in the form of whitish powder, ready for manual application after the addition of the specific amount of water. It’s mechanically mixed and automatically packed with constant tested ratios, composed from primary raw materials and high quality additives enhancing the product performance. Natural elements compose 98% of the total weight of VIGA Fill as it contains Perlite, a light weight volcanic granules after thermal treatment to be used as light weight filler replacing sand. After adding the right portion of clean water, it gives a homogeneous mortar ready for application without any further additives.“VIGA Fill”, after its setting gives a hard and thick coat that can reach up to 5 cm per layer (a filling coat) without the need of slurry projection. It also features a very high adhesion to concrete and all types of bricks substrates. In addition, it provides the high coverage rate with the lowest percentage of waste, a very high productivity per worker per day and an ability to build a thickness up to 5 cm every hour if needed. “VIGA FILL”, gives a rough decorative texture that can be smoothed using “VIGA  Mortar”.

Usages

  • Works as a filling and leveling plaster on top of different types of substrates with a thickness up to 5 cm per layer with the ability of building a new layer every hour till the alignment with the screeds with a very low percentage of waste.
  • Perfect for sites, where flooring systems has already been installed due to the extreme ease of cleaning

Advantages

  • Lightweight, “VIGA Fill” weight per m2 represents 45% of the weight of traditional plastering materials per m2
  • Aids thermal insulation which reduces the required heating and cooling energy which in return is reflected on the cost of consumption of electricity.
  • Rich with adhesion additives eliminating the need for cement slurry projection before application
  • The consistence of the mortar after mixing with water and cohesion additives included in its formula reduces significantly the application waste compared to traditional methods.
  • Eliminates the need for curing
  • At the end, the final surface is a whitish, strong and decorative rough texture
  • Easy to handle and store, resulting in an organized and clean working site
  • Easy to prepare, only spray the powder to the indicated ratio of water then mix thoroughly till reaching the required consistency
  • Average coverage rate reaching 60 m2/Ton at a 2

cm thickness, according to type and roughness of substrates

  • Adjusted setting time ranging 40-60 mins according to application and storage conditions
  • Guaranteed by ALROWAD FOR IMPORT AND EXPORT, the world leader manufacturer and producer of building materials
  • Doesn’t ignite and delays the spreading of fire
  • Very healthy both during application or housing and doesn’t cause any odors
  • Environment friendly as it consumes a low thermal energy during manufacturing and it is packed in recyclable sacks

Storage conditions

Must be stored in a dry area far from the reach of humidity or any water source, preferably on pallets and covered with impermeable cover to maintain a steady quality the longest duration possible

Application

Before starting

Ensure the mixing container and the application tools are clean especially form waste of previous mix and it’s recommended to clean the tools directly after usage

Mixing ratio

“VIGA Fill” is mixed to 55-60% of water by weight

Preparation & mixing

“VIGA Fill” is sprayed on water with the right ratios (Don’t add water to powder), then leave for 2 mins till it soaks completely. Stir the mix perfectly in all directions till reaching a homogeneous mortar with the convenient consistency for the application. It is preferred to use mechanical mixing

Mixing time & setting

“VIGA Fill” is workable for 40 mins starting from the start of mixing, initial setting in 60 mins and reaches final setting in 2 days on average according surface conditions, and thickness, weather conditions and humidity.

Important instructions

  • The shelf-life printed on the sack must be respected
  • Powder must be sprayed to water and not the opposite
  • Don’t mix a quantity that you can’t use in 40 mins
  • Don’t add new quantity to an old one
  • Surfaces must be sprayed intensively with water before application especially in summer or hot areas
  • The addition of other additives on the product during mixing especially bonding agents has a negative impact on the quality of the product and changes its nature
  • In case of remaining quantities in the sack, the sack must be well sealed and stored away from any source water or humidity
  • It’s recommended to always refer to technical catalog or technical support team for extra information concerning different applications
  • Valid for 6 months from the production date indicated on the sack
