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 marble / tile adhesive.
- Mixing Add 25 kg tile adhesive bag to approximately 6.25 liters of clean potable water gradually (for 50 kg bag approximately 12.50 liters) 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 minutes.
- Application Apply TAG-500 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.
