Method of Application
-
Surface Prearation
- Surface must be free of dirt, oil, grease, scaling paint, curing agents, dust, loose particles, efflorescence or foreign material.
- Spray sufficient amount of clean potable water to neutralize the suction of the background.
- Allow free water to evaporate completely before the application of tile adhesive.
- Mixing Add 25 kg tile adhesive bag to approximately 6.25 liters of clean potable water gradually and mix with suitable electrical agitator. Allow to stand for approximately 5 minutes to completely dissolve the chemical additives. Mix the material again after 5 minutes. Do not add any additional water once mixing is completed. Mix only what can be applied within 30-45 minutes.
- Application Apply TAW-300 with a 3-5mm notch trowel on surface and bed the tile firmly to ensure good bonding. For bigger tile sizes use an 8-10mm notch trowel. Leave clearance joints of a minimum space of 2mm and make adjustments within 10 minutes.
- Curing Moist curing for 2 days (3-4 times daily)
- Precautions
- The first layer of AAC blocks must be fixed using thick bed of normal cementitious mortar (1:3 Cement Sand Mortar).
- Apply ABM-200 fresh mortar on top and side of the blocks to a uniform thickness of minimum 3mm using teeth trowel or mortar-roller in a teeth thickness of 4-6-mm.
- The excess mortar from the joints can be strip off before it dries.
- It will be ideal to leave space between the topmost layer of AAC blocks and bottom of concrete element. The gap must be filled with suitable foam or flexible material.
- Curing Moist curing for 2 days (3-4 times daily) is necessary on the joints of the AAC blocks.
- Precautions
- ABM-200 must not be applied in slurry form.
- Safety measures should be adopted if applied during rain.
- It should not be directly applied on to metal, PVC, Wooden boards or painted surface.
- Hard or lumpy material must not be used.
- Storage ABM-200 must be protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Store off the ground in a cool and dry place.
