Description

The Limpet BD6 armouring compound is a self-setting cement for internal, external and marine use as a protective layer over calcium silicate and all mineral wool insulants. It is supplied in a dry powder form and can be applied by hand or through a sprayer system. The Limpet BD6 does not require heat for the setting. For external applications, Limpet BD6 requires protection by a flexible weatherproof coating as self-setting cement is not impervious to water.

Limpet BD6 and all other finishing compounds offered by IBSL are rated “Non-Combustible” to BS 476 Part 4: 1970. They act in accordance with the fire performance requirements of Class “0” as characterised in the Building Regulations.

Application:

• Surfaces to be coated may be pre-damped.
• Materials should be used within two hours of mixing.
• Wire mesh or expanded metal reinforcement can be incorporated in the applied layer where extra integrity is required.
• Self-setting cements do not require the application of heat source to induce setting. Setting time is normally 24-36 hours and drying time depends on ambient temperature and humidity.
• Please note that rubber or PVC gloves should be worn by all applicators, especially during hand mixing.
