Safety Directions

Usage Guidelines

Surface Preparation

  • Substrates such as cement screeds, plastered surfaces, and concrete floors must be sound, clean, and fully cured.
  • Remove dust, loose particles, oil, paint, or curing compounds that may affect bonding.
  • Lightly dampen very dry surfaces before application; avoid standing water on the substrate.

Mixing Instructions

  • Use clean, potable water for mixing.
  • Add powder to water and mix with a slow-speed drill mixer or manually until a smooth, lump-free paste is obtained.
  • Allow the mix to rest for 2–3 minutes, then remix briefly before use.
  • Use the prepared adhesive within its pot life; do not add extra water once it starts to stiffen.

Application Guidelines

  • Spread adhesive using a notched trowel, maintaining a uniform 3–4 mm bed thickness.
  • Press tiles firmly into the wet adhesive within the specified open time, sliding slightly to ensure full contact.
  • Tap tiles gently with a rubber mallet to eliminate voids and achieve level alignment.
  • Avoid traffic or grouting until the adhesive has adequately set, generally after 24 hours under normal conditions.
