APPLICATION

Surface Preparation:

All surfaces shall be structurally sound, solid, stable, dry, completely cured, level, plumb and true to a tolerance as per the current Australian Standards. They shall be clean and free of dust, oil, grease, paint, tar, wax, curing agent, primers, sealers, release agents or any deleterious substance and debris which may prevent or reduce adhesion. Refer to the Technical Data Sheet for further information.

Mixing:

Kerabond Plus must be mixed with clean water. Pour 4.8 – 5.2 litres of water into a clean mixing container. Using a low speed mixer (300RPM) lend to obtain a homogenous lump-free paste. Let slake for 3 minutes. Remix and the paste is then ready for use. The mix produced in this way is workable for at least 8 hours. Refer to the Technical Data Sheet for further information.

Placement:

Apply a thin pressure-applied coat to the substrate. Follow immediately with additional material then comb the adhesive using the notched side of the trowel to achieve an even setting bed. Do not spread more material than can be covered with tiles within open time. Set tiles before skinning occurs. If skinning occurs, scrape off and replace with fresh adhesive. Place tiles firmly in position with a slight twisting motion to ensure good contact with the adhesive. Follow immediately with proper and thorough beat-in to flatten ridges or notches into a continuous bed. Make all alignments and adjustments immediately following beat-in. Do not exceed 30-45 minutes. Do not walk over tiles for at least 24 hours after installation. Refer to the Technical Data Sheet for further information.

Tiling installed with Kerabond Plus must not be washed down or exposed to rain for at least 24 hours and must be protected from frost and strong sunlight for at least 5-7 days. Keep floors free from general traffic for at least 24 hours after installation. Prohibit heavy traffic for 14 days.
