HSR – High Strength Render
SGM High Strength Pool Render is a cementitious blend of proprietary admixtures and select aggregates. HSR was engineered as a versatile and exceptional strength thin & thick bed render. Factory blended to produce a consistent quality mix from batch to batch, eliminating additional costly job-site additives. HSR is conveniently packaged in 50 lb. (22.7kg) polyethylene lined bags and custom palletized for easy handling and movement on the job-site. Use for bonded and non-bonded, conventional mortar bed where additional strength is desired. HSR is ideally suited for use as a render substrate for applications in wet areas. Use in place of Type S or Type N Mortar.

APPLICABLE INSTALLATION STANDARDS
Our material is tested and certified by independent laboratories. All data is given in good faith; however, we reserve the right to change products and specifications without notice. SGM advises interested parties to satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any data and seek certification if appropriate.
INSTALLATION SURFACE PREPARATION:
Gunite, Shotcrete and Plaster Surfaces:
All masonry should be 28 days cured and shall be structurally sound, clean and free of any moisture, wax, oil, paint particles, curing agents or foreign matter that may affect proper bonding or product performance. Remove any liquid curing agents or concrete sealers, followed by a clear water wash.
MIXING
Using a clean mortar box or mechanical mixer, add sufficient cool clean potable water to desired, plastic like, consistency. Allow HSR to slake for five (5) minutes, and then re-mix before use. Do not add any additional water, latex, or powder after the HSR has slaked. Do not re-temper, discard and prepare fresh mix. Machine mixing is preferred. Note: All cement-based products have potential for efflorescence to materialize.
DIRECTIONS: LEVEL, PATCH & SEAL
READ ENTIRE LABEL AND PIS/SDS BEFORE USING HSR:
HSR should be applied to substrates using hand trowel or screed. Then using a straight edge or Darby, straighten to uniform level. Note: As the tile size decreases, there is less tolerance for variation in the substrate from the required plane. One or more coats may be required to obtain uniform level, depending on the substrate. All materials and effected areas should remain above 40°F (4.4°C) or below 100°F (38°C) 24 hrs. prior and 72 hrs. after placement.

In case of such contact, flood eyes repeatedly with water and CALL PHYSICIAN. Wash thoroughly after handling and before smoking or eating. Do not take internally.
