Suitable Substrates
Concrete
Durable and strong, providing a solid foundation for a wide range of applications.
Cement Plaster
Ensures a smooth, even surface ideal for coatings and tile installations.
Concrete Masonry
Reliable and robust, offering structural integrity with versatile finishing options.
Cement Mortar Beds
Provides a stable, level base ensuring proper support and adhesion for coverings.
Application & Usage Guidelines
Area of Applications
Suitable for flooring and walls in various internal and external applications.
- Apply on flooring and walls for internal applications.
- Can be used in external, dry & wet areas, domestic and commercial applications.
- Joint width as per architect/engineer recommendation.
- Always use grout (Normal & Epoxy Grout) between tiles/stones.
- Remove spacers once adhesive is set firm.
Precautions
Important considerations to ensure safety and durability of the installation.
- Use only on concrete surfaces, cement plaster, or brick surfaces.
- Do not apply directly on gypsum plaster, boards, plywood, laminates, metals, or plastics.
- Do not use for artificial/nano/engineered stone, composites, or metal tiles.
- Do not add excess water, sand, or cement at site.
- Protect from direct rainfall and foot traffic for at least 24 hours.
Application Instructions
Ensure the surface and adhesive application is done correctly for best results.
- Surface must be sufficiently flat to achieve specified tiling flatness.
- Suitable for expected service conditions.
- Surfaces must be dry, clean, free from loose material and contamination.
- Surface should be cleaned and roughened before tile/stone installation.
How to Mixing
Proper mixing ensures workability and strength of the adhesive.
- Use approx. 5 – 5.5 L of water for 20 kg of powder.
- Place clean potable water into a clean mixing bowl before adding powder.
- Adjust water for desired consistency but do not exceed recommended limit.
- Leave mixture for 5 minutes before use, then remix for 30 seconds.
- Allow adhesive to polymerize for 2–5 minutes before application.
Note: Coverage will vary depending on trowel notch size, tile type/size, and substrate smoothness. Information is given in good faith based on R&D. Company reserves the right to update instructions without notice.
