Application Area
It is used in interior and exterior spaces for joints between 0-6 mm of ceramic, tile, natural stone, granite, marble and similar coating materials.
It gives excellent results in interior spaces, horizontal and vertical applications.
Application Features
- Availability time max. 1 hour,
- Hardening time: 12 hours,
- Time required for the ground to be opened to traffic: 24-48 hours,
- It has 30 different color options.
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.
- The surface to be worked on should not be too dry and sweating.
- When using high absorbent coating materials, the joints should be moistened with clean water when applying in hot and windy weather.
- If the ambient temperature is high, there may be sudden water loss after application, collapsing, fluting and cracking.
Application Conditions
- Ambient temperature should be between -5°C and +35°C.
- It should not be applied on frozen, melting or frost surfaces within 24 hours.
- 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 should never 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 at the rate of 20 kg MEGATECH JOINT FILLER in 7-7.5 liters of water.
- 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.
