Arki-Filler

Non-structural crack filling compound

Arki-Filler is a single-component, polymer-modified cementitious fine powder that mixes easily with water to produce a creamy paste. It is used to fill cracks and treat surface shrinkage and static (non-moving) joints on plastered surfaces prior to the application of skim coat, paint putty, and paints. It is suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Uses

  • Filling non-structural cracks.
  • Repairing shrinkage cracks.
  • Leveling surfaces before painting.
  • Preparing plastered walls.
  • Repairing internal and external walls.

Advantages

  • High bond strength.
  • Easy to apply.
  • Sag-resistant (No sag).
  • Good breathing properties (High vapor permeability).
  • Suitable for interior and exterior use.
  • Compatible with paint putty and decorative paints.

Usage Instructions

Follow each step for best results.

01 Surface Preparation
Ensure the substrate (surface) is clean, sound, and free from dust, loose particles, and contaminants. Remove weak materials surrounding the cracks, and slightly dampen the surface with water before application.
Add Arki-Filler slowly to the pre-measured amount of clean water while mixing with a slow-speed hand mixer and a mixing paddle for at least two minutes. Allow the mixture to settle for 5 minutes, then remix before application. Use within the pot life of the mixture.
Press the mixed Arki-Filler paste firmly into the cracks using a putty knife or spatula. Avoid the formation of air pockets and smooth the surface evenly. Apply paint or decorative putty after the material has dried completely.
Clean all tools and equipment with water before the material sets.
