Application steps

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.
