Application Area
It is used for the application of coating materials such as small and medium sized floor and wall ceramics, tiles, natural stone glass mosaic, travertine, decorative coating bricks on surfaces such as concrete and plaster, screed, screed, horizontal and vertical.
It is used for bonding tiles on tiles or ceramic on tiles.
Application Features
- Availability time max. 5 hours,
- Working time min. 20 minutes,
- Correction time max. 15 minutes,
- Time required for grouting, 24 hours on the wall, 48 hours on the floor.
Surface Preparation
- The surfaces must be cleared of dust, dirt, oil, etc. that prevent adherence.It should be free from residues that would prevent adhension.
- If there are defects on the application surface, they are corrected with repair mortar.
- The surface should be cured and solid.
- If the application surfaces are porous, it should be wetted.
- Care must be taken to ensure that the application surface is in a solid carrier and also in its balance.
Application Conditions
- Ambient temperature should be between -5°C and +35°C.
- It should not be applied under direct sun, strong wind or on hot surfaces.
- MEGATECH CERAMIC should form a film on the surface during the application, and should be combed again at the discretion it occurs.
Warnings and Suggestions
- Foreign matter must not be added.
- All tools used should be washed with water before drying after the application.
Application Tools
Hand mixer, trowel, rubber hammer, toothed steel trowel
Application
- The container in which the mortar is to be prepared must be clean and free of any residual mix.
- Care should be taken to clean the water and materials used.
- The mortar should be prepared in 6-6,5 liters of water at the rate of 25 kg MEGATECH CERAMIC.
- Firstly water is poured into the container and then the powder is added slowly and mixed until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
- In order to make the mixture homogeneous, a low speed mixer should be used.
- After obtaining a homogeneous mixture, rest for 5-10 minutes for the mortar to mature.
- It should be mixed again for 1-2 minutes before starting the application.
- After the mixture becomes homogeneous, no powder, water or any other substance should be added.
- In order to obtain a better adhesion surface, after the mortar is spread on the surface with the flat part of the trowel, it should be combed with the toothed part of the trowel selected according to the tile size (See Comb Size and Consumption Table).
- Tiles should be adhered on the mortar combed within 20 minutes by applying force with a rubber hammer. This period may be shortened in applications performed under unfavorable environment conditions such as high temperature, low humidity, wind.
- Adhesion process should not be done on expired mortar, mortar should be scraped from the surface.
- The prepared mortar should be consumed within 5 hours.
- Expired or crusted mortar in the container should be discarded.
- Hands and application tools should be washed with plenty of water after the application.
- Tiles installed with MEGATECH CERAMIC should not be subject to water for at least 24 hours.
