ARDEX B 10: Fast-Setting, Cement-Based Satin Plaster
ARDEX B 10 is a cement-based satin plaster providing a natural concrete look for indoor and outdoor use. It is ideal for leveling, filling, and smoothing concrete surfaces, prefabricated elements, and walls. The product is fast-drying, weather-resistant, and can be applied from zero thickness. It ensures excellent adhesion and durability, making it suitable for substrate preparation before painting and coating. Ready to use within 30 minutes of mixing, ARDEX B 10 delivers high compressive and flexural strength.
Description
Grey powder based on rapid hardening cement. Improved with special synthetic materials.
When mixed with water, it forms a smooth, paste-like mortar that is easy to apply and work with. After the hydration and drying process, it develops a breathable structure with virtually no surface tension, achieving a natural concrete appearance once cured. The cement-grey levelling compound surfaces are water- and weather-resistant. Provides excellent adhesion to the substrate.
Use
Indoors and outdoors; on walls and ceilings.
Used for leveling, plastering, and smoothing concrete and exposed concrete surfaces, prefabricated concrete elements, cement-based plaster, and wall surfaces.
Can be used to fill pores, voids, and irregularities, as well as cracks, holes, or breaks in ceilings or walls.
For finishing and creating natural concrete-look decorative surfaces after concrete repair work.
For flush filling and as a substrate for subsequent paint coatings.
Considerations
Ensure that ambient and surface temperatures are maintained above +5°C during both application and curing. If you plan to paint the surface corrected with ARDEX B 10, use paint unaffected by lime.
The drying time depends on the thickness of the levelling compound applied, the prevailing weather conditions and the moisture content of the substrate.
If the surface where the application is made is damp, efflorescence may occur.
Before applying on metal surfaces, a primer with protective and adhesion-enhancing properties should be applied to prevent corrosion.
ARDEX V 2001 T product is the preferred choice for filling and correction processes before applying decorative coatings or satin plaster.
For decorative floor coating applications, due consideration shall be given to the number of applicators. The appropriate number of applicators shall be determined in accordance with the application area and the product’s working time; otherwise, variations in colour tone may occur as a result of premature drying. The same applies to the sealer application; if the number of applicators is insufficient, roller marks and coat overlap lines may become visible.
In case of doubt, carry out a test application.
