A) PREPARATION:
The floor which is to be tiled should be pre- cleaned to remove all traces of any coating, oil, dust, grease or other such contaminants.
B) MIXING:
Silver Adhesive powder is to be mixed with water at a volumetric ratio of 3:1. Take the required quantity of water in a container and mix the adhesive paste. Allow the material to stand for 5-7 minutes for the polymers to get activated. Then remix and apply the material by a notched trowel or any such suitable tools.
C) Application:
Generally tile fixing is done by notched trowel method.
In this method the prepared paste is to be applied in vertical form on damped tile and in horizontal form on the surface or vice-versa, using the notched trowel as these create a texture with more grip. Push your tile into the surface and give it a slight twist. This will bed it securely over the surface and reduce the air that can sit between the tile and surface.
D) Advantages:
- Easy to use
- High bonding strength
- Water Resistant
- No extra curing is required
- Applied even at low thickness of 3 mm, hence it provides more coverage area
- Bed Thickness can be used upto 8 mm
