Unilit 45.
A smooth or fine textured traditional, dry, premixed mineral finishing mortar based on hydraulic, naturally pure and selected lime, characterised by a high plasticity, slow but strong bonding and a low salt content.
Unilit 45 is vapour permeable and is completely compatible with the Unilit system as a finishing layer, for internal use. Recommended for the renovation of old buildings. Where high levels of damp or salts are prevalent Unilit 30 should be applied as a backing coat. 
When used as a finishing mortar to new Unilit 20, 25 30, 35N, 35M, 65 or Unilit Fen XA plasters and renders, specify as the final coat to the base render/undercoat (specify in the relevant Unilit clause).

Product reference: Unilit 45.
Thickness: 3-4 mm overall.
Finish: Seek advice from Telling. Sponged or floated to the desired finish
Application: Mix Unilit 45 with clean water - 4 to 5 litres of water to 25 kg of powder depending on the temperature and substrate. Mix manually or mechanically for 3 to 5 minutes.
Apply manually or mechanically to a dry or damp substrate in 2 layers of 2mm (wet on wet).
If the substrate is too dry, dampen down the surface prior to overcoating. Do not apply in temperatures below 5°C or above 40°C. The mortar remains workable for 2 hours and dries in 24-48 hours. Protect from frost for 48 to 72 hours. Do not use mortar below ground level unless applied over Unilit 30.
