| 6 mm | 10 m² |
| 10 mm | 5.5 m² |
MIXING
Pour the recommended amount of fresh cool water into a clean mixing container.Whilst stirring slowly using a slow speed electric mixer (approx 500rpm) add the powder and mix to a smooth lump free homogeneous mix is acheived. Allow Mix to stand and "slake" for 5 minutes and immediately restir for an additional 2 minutes. Restirring the mix may be necessary but do not add addition water.
APPLICATION
Tiles shall be fixed in accordance with AS 3958.1-2007.
- Ensure the backs of tiles are clean and free from dust and contaminates.
- Apply the adhesive to the substrate with the appropriate sized notched trowel to achieve coverage requirements on both substrate and the back of tiles.
- Tiles may require “back-buttering” to achieve minimum coverage requirements.
- Apply the adhesive with the notched trowel in a single direction.
- While pressing the tiles into the wet adhesive, break adhesive ridges with the tile to fully bed the tile into the adhesive.
- It is advisable to periodically check the back of the tiles to ensure adequate coverage of adhesive is achieved in accordance to the standard.
- Only apply as much adhesive that can be covered by the tiles prior to skinning. If adhesive skins prior to placement of tiles, remove and replace.
- Remove any excess adhesive from the face of tiles and ensure grout joints are cleaned and free from excess adhesive and are a uniform depth.
- Movement, expansion and control joints must be installed as per AS ISO 3958.1-2007.
- For tile over tile applications use Eco Systems Prep n Prime/ SikaTile-015 NPP.
- Ensure existing tiles are fixed soundly and free from defect.
- Gloss finished or polished tiles need mechanical preparation prior to priming with Eco Systems Prep n Prime/SikaTile-015 NPP.
