MVN DURAFIX

MIXING AND APPLICATION

Preparation
Concrete surfaces must be clean, durable, level, and free of oil or grease. Remove loose or poorly adhering materials by sand blasting or high pressure water jetting. All mortar and concrete surfaces should be brought (SSD - Saturated-Surface-Dry) to a saturated surface dry condition by presoaking with clean water. Remove all excess water just before placing adhesive.
Mixing
Measure 5-6 liters of clean water for 25kg of MVN DURAFIX, slowly add the adhesive powder to water and stir well for about 5 minutes the composition to a homogeneous mixture, allow the mixture to rest for 3-5 minutes before proceeding with tiling.
For a large batch use the approved mechanical mixer for a small batch can use the heavy duty slow speed driller with paddle.
Placing
MVN DURAFIX should be applied by layers with suitable thickness
Use a notched trowel for application onto the substrate and buttering onto the back-face of the tile to enhance the performance and proper coverage of the adhesive. The tiles should be firmly pressed onto the substrate and immediately tamped into position and quickly adjust the tiles to get them in the desired position (within 20-30 minutes). The wet adhesive mixture should be used within 60 minutes, depending on environment temperature

Prepare appropriate quantity of adhesive each batch to enough for using. Does not using the adhevise still not fresh after long period time spread onto surface of substrates. If skinning occurs, scrape off skin and replace with new adhesive.
