C118 TILE ADHESIVE SUPERTERMOFIX

APPLICATION

The mixture is intended for fastening ceramic, concrete, clinker tiles, as well as tiles made of artificial granite, tiles, mosaics with a size of no more than 600×600 mm on walls and floors with a high heating temperature (up to 180 °C) indoors and outdoors. For strong brick, cement-sand, cement-lime, concrete and other mineral surfaces, it is especially recommended for facing fireplaces, stoves, warm floors (water and electric).

PREPARATION OF THE BASE

The foundation is prepared in accordance with DSTU – N B A.3.1-23:2013 and DSTU B V.2.6-212:2016. The base must be completely dry and strong. If there are irregularities or protrusions on the base, they should be removed by grinding or sandblasting followed by dust removal from the crevices with a vacuum cleaner. To remove oil, grease, wax, paraffin, paints and other impurities from the surface of the base, it is necessary to use alkaline solutions, and then wash with water. Large damages, for example, chipped parts of the screed, cracks or voids, must be removed and filled. Before applying the adhesive solution, the mineral base with a medium or high degree of water absorption must be treated with one of the deep penetration soils ARTISAN #7, #17 or #8. If the surface is high-strength, dense (concrete, reinforced concrete construction, silicate brick), ARTISAN CONCRETE CONTACT No. 15 is recommended to increase adhesion.

APPLICATION METHOD

Pour the adhesive mixture into a container with clean water (+18 – +20°С), using approximately 5.5-6.0 liters of water per 25 kg of the mixture, and knead the solution to a homogeneous consistency without lumps. Allow the solution to settle for 3-5 minutes and mix again. The resulting mixture is applied in a thin layer of up to 10 mm on the prepared surface using a toothed spatula with square teeth (tooth size 6-10 mm), depending on the size of the tile. The tile is not pre-wetted. Lay on the solution and press it to the base, if necessary, tap it with a rubber hammer so that the adhesive mixture is in contact with at least 80% of the surface area of the tile. The tile position can be adjusted within 10 minutes. After 48 hours, the surface is ready for technological movement, you can fill the seams with grout. Warm-up of the lined base should be carried out after the adhesive solution has fully hardened and spread (28 days). Increase the base temperature gradually.

NOTE!!! The most effective result is achieved at t+20°C and relative air humidity of 60%. Under other conditions, the operating parameters may change. Use only as intended.

EXPIRATION DATE

In dry conditions and sealed packaging, 12 months from the date of manufacture indicated on the packaging.

SAFETY TECHNOLOGY

The mixture contains cement, which, when combined with water, forms an alkali. It is advisable to work in rubber gloves. In case of liquid contact with skin and eyes, it is necessary to rinse thoroughly with running water. The material is non-flammable and explosive.

PACKAGING

The dry mixture is packaged in 25 kg bags.
