Instructions for use
Substrate preparation
- Substrates must be leveled, clean, free of oily residues, loose materials, dust etc.
- Dampening of the substrate before application is recommended during summer period or for very absorptive surfaces, avoiding the creation of water puddles.
Mixing instructions
- Add 6,5 – 7,5 kg of water in a clean bucket and add gradually under constant stirring 25kg of ISOMIX ACRYLIC.
- Using a low gear electrical mixer stir well until a uniform viscous mixture is formed.
- Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and stir again.
- The working time of the mixture is 3 - 4 hours. Periodical stirring is advised avoiding the addition of more water. Pot life may vary depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
Application
- The mixture should be applied uniformly on the surface using a notched trowel - spatula according to the size of the tiles and floor or wall application.
- The tiles should be fixed by pressing them in the desired position within 10 - 20 minutes in order to avoid skin formation. Less time is required for dry and adsorptive surfaces or under high temperatures.
- All surplus adhesive must be removed whilst the adhesive is still wet using a dampened cloth or sponge, particularly along the grout lines.
- Surfaces are ready for grouting within 24 hours for floor applications and 12 hours for wall applications, using ISOMIX GROUT.
REMARKS
- Do not add excess amount of water, as this will decrease adhesive’s strength and waterproofing properties.
- Periodical stirring is advised while avoiding the addition of more water.
