Application steps

MIXING

Pour clean cool water into a mixing container and gradually pour the the Prohesive Proset Super powder into the container and stir with a slow speed
mixing drill (approx 500 rpm). Mix for 2-3 minutes to a smooth lump free homogeneous consistency. Allow the product to stand (slake) for 5 minutes then restire for an additional minute. Do not add more water. Restirring the mixture may be required during the adhesives pot life.

APPLICATION

Tiles shall be fixed in accordance to 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 acheive coverage requirement on both substrate and the back of the tile. Tiles may require back-buttering to acheive minimum coverage requirements.
  • Apply the adhesive with a notched trowel in a single direction. Apply the tile, while pressing into the wet adhesive, break the ridges with the tile to fully bed the tile into the adhesive.
  • It is advisable to periodically check the back of the tiles for adhesive coverage requirements as the AS3958.1-2007.
  • Only apply as must adhesive that can be covered prior to adhesive skinning. If skinning occurs remove and replace with fresh adhesive.
  • Remove any excess adhesive from the face of the tile with a damp sponge and ensure grout joint are of uniform depth.
  • Movement, expansion and control joints must be installed as per AS 3958.1-2007.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Tools and equipement can be cleaned with water while adhesive is still wet.
