Surface Preparation
The surface should be dry, clean and free from dust, grease, Oil and other contaminates. Keep ready – mixing tools, trowel, hammer, notched trowel, joint spacers, sponge etc. Cement based Surfaces: Screeds must be properly cured for 7 days. Cure the concrete for 3 weeks prior to tiling. The surface should be properly leveled for best outcome. Remove curing compounds and any other foreign matter before application which leads to de-bind the tile adhesive.Painted Surfaces
Already painted / lime etc. coated surface should be removed by wire brush Or mechanically and loose peeling paint should be removed completely. Allow the surface to dry after cleaning.Mixing Procedure with Water
In a clean tub take 75% of recommended water and gradually add supplied tile adhesive in it. Mixing can be done manually or by mechanical slow speed stirrer. Based on the material consistency adjust the water and mixing to be done till homogenous lump free mix is obtained. After proper mixing, leave the paste for 5 minutes for polymeric dispersion before application. The paste should be kept away from direct sunlight, heat and use within 120 minutes of preparation (after mixing with water).Product Application
- The backside of tiles to be cleaned with wet cloth to remove all dust particles before fixing it. Apply the mixed dough of adhesive On the substrate and spread it by notch trowel. Fix the tiles and press firmly. Then tap properly with rubber hammer in order to spread the adhesive equally and for a good result. Remove any surplus adhesive on the face of the tiles. The tiles adjustment should be done within 15 minutes and before adhesive starts hardening.
- The 3 mm spacing is recommended when fixing the tiles. After 24 hours, NCL’s Cement Grouting can be done.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Avoid inhalation Of dust.
- In case of contact with eyes, rinse eyes with plenty of water and consult a doctor immediately.
