Koncrete Tile Adhesive-100

Product Description

KONCRETE Tile Adhesive 100 is a cement based, polymer modified, high quality tile adhesive developed for fixing ceramic tiles on internal floor and wall areas.

Its impurities and organic content free best quality durable with adequate strength fixing material. Its being manufactured in a very stringent quality control environment and provides consistent quality with hassle free service.

Its replaced the conventional method as it is ready to use by simple mixing with water at site and easily applied on the tiles surface. It not only gives better adhesion but also ensure the void less tiles fixing. Application of tile adhesive also ensure the time and money saving better quality tile work as compared to conventional method.

Technical Table

Note

Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the subsequent usage of the areas where tilling has been done. Tiling work not suggested if ambient temperature is likely to drop below 5^oC or exceed 50^oC. For ambient temperature below 20^oC allow the adhesive to cure for an extended period of time. Pot life, open time and adjusting time depends on the surface absorption, wind factor, temperature and humidity conditions at site.

Method of Application

A)     Surface Preparation

         Prepare the surface and tiles before the application of tile adhesive by removing oil, bond inhibiting agents, dirt, dust and laitance.

         Clean the surface following suitable methods like by using wire brush, water jetting, mopping etc.

         Prior to the application of KONCRETE Tile Adhesive 100 surfaces should be leveled or repaired in case of higher undulation. KONCRETE Readymix Plaster is recommended over vertical surfaces to level it.

B)     Mixing

         KONCRETE Tiles Adhesive 100 requires 25% potable water by weight of material.

         Add KONCRETE Tiles Adhesive 100 to measured quantity of water, while continuously stirring using a mechanical stirrer for 2-3 minutes to ensure a consistency free of lumps.

         Allow the mix to stand for 2-3 minutes to mature and then mix it again before use.

         Do not add any extra water to alter the mix consistency or to extend the pot life. Further water addition will hamper the adhesion strength of the tile adhesive.

C)     Application

         Apply the mixed of KONCRETE Tiles Adhesive 100 to the prepared levelled substrate using the appropriate notched trowel according to the size of the tiles being laid.

         Its recommended to use suitable spacers while fixing of tiles to ensure uniform tile fixing and creation of joints that can be filled with epoxy tile grout later on.

         A minimum of 3 mm bed thickness of tile adhesive for wall and floors must be achieved.

         Lay tiles onto the adhesive. Gently press each tile and move it in perpendicular direction to the notches to ensure no air cavity remains in the mortar and good initial bonding is attained. Do not disturb the tiles until the adhesive has set.

         Its recommended to fix the tiles within 20-30 minutes of spreading KONCRETE Tiles Adhesive 100 to achieve adequate bonding and strength.

         Any tiles fixing after 20-30 minutes of spreading KONCRETE Tiles Adhesive 100 will lead to improper adhesion and may result in de-bonding of tiles.

         For vertical surface application, tilling should be start from bottom to top.
