Product Description
FOX PROHAND® FIBER is a cement-lime based, ready-to-use hand plaster containing mineral fillers, polymer-reinforced special cement and polypropylene fibres. It can be safely used in both interior and exterior applications, including wet rooms. According to EN 998-1:2016, it meets the classifications GP (general purpose plaster mortar), CS IV (≥6 N/mm² compressive strength), W2 (capillary water absorption ≤0.20 kg/m²·min⁰·⁵) and A1 (non-combustible). A single-coat application fulfils both the render and finish coat function; it can be applied at a minimum thickness of 3 mm and a maximum of 10 mm. Its homogeneous structure provides high adhesion and strength, and creates a smooth surface for final coat coverings.
Advantages
- Provides easy and fast application.
- Lighter to apply compared to traditional plasters.
- Water-repellent properties.
- Enables single-coat application combining render and finish coat.
- Provides cost advantage and ease of control.
- Thanks to its homogeneous structure, provides high adhesion and strength at every point of the surface.
- Provides a smooth surface for the final coat covering.
Usage Areas
- Used for plastering brick, blockwork, pumice block, concrete, fair-faced concrete, aerated concrete and ceiling surfaces in interior and exterior applications.
Application Steps
- 1
Surface Preparation
Surfaces to be plastered must be free from mould release agents, loose particles, dust and any conditions that would adversely affect the adhesion of the plaster. Cracks and holes in the surface must be repaired using the appropriate INNO-CRETE series repair mortars. In hot weather conditions, surfaces must be moistened with water. On aerated concrete walls, a scratch coat must be applied with FOX MORTAR FC188 T repair mortar 72 hours before the plaster application. On smooth fair-faced concrete surfaces, concrete ceilings and walls, FOX CONTACT PRIMER® FL101 primer must be applied with a coral roller before application; plastering must commence 24 hours later.

Mixing
The appropriate amount of water indicated on the packaging (approximately 6±0.25 litres for a 25 kg bag) is poured into a clean mixing container. FOX PROHAND® ELYAFLI is slowly added to the water while mixing with an electric mixer at 400–600 rpm for approximately 3–4 minutes until a homogeneous consistency is achieved. There must be no lumps in the material. The material is left to rest for 30 seconds and then mixed again for 1 minute before it is ready for application.

Application
The application thickness per coat must be between 3 mm and 10 mm. The prepared mortar is applied with a plastering trowel or float. It is levelled with an aluminium straightedge. Once the plaster has sufficiently hardened, the surface is smoothed with a devil float and the application is completed with a damp sponge.

Cleaning of Application Tools
Tools and equipment used after application must be cleaned with water. Once FOX PROHAND® ELYAFLI has hardened, it can only be removed from the surface mechanically.
Critical
Plaster application must be carried out at temperatures between +5°C and +30°C. Application must not be performed outside this temperature range.
Critical
Within 7 days after application, the surface must be wetted at regular intervals to allow the product's strength to develop.
Critical
No lime, cement, gypsum or similar materials must be added to the product.
Critical
On aerated concrete walls, a scratch coat must be applied with FOX MORTAR FC188 T repair mortar 72 hours before the plaster application.
Critical
On smooth fair-faced concrete surfaces, concrete ceilings and walls, FOX CONTACT PRIMER® FL101 primer must be applied with a coral roller before application, and plastering must commence 24 hours later.
Important
Precautions must be taken against rapid drying in windy conditions.
Important
In hot weather, two-coat application is recommended to prevent the risk of cracking caused by rapid drying.
Important
The use of plaster mesh at column, beam and wall junctions is recommended.
Important
In hot weather conditions, surfaces must be moistened with water.
Important
