Instructions for Use

Areas of Application

Best suited for installation of large format/ thin format tiles and stones in interior and exterior areas over floors and walls. Also ideal for use in high rise buildings/ wet areas and exposed areas.

Substrate

The substrate to be tiled must be levelled, cured, undamaged, compact, rigid, resistant, dry, and free from any loose particles and damp risings.

Suitable Substrates
  • Fresh cement based levelling mortars/ screeds
  • Concrete
  • Concrete masonry
  • Cement-based screeds
  • Cement plaster
  • Cement terrazzo
  • Brick masonry
  • Waterproofing products
  • Existing tiles of all types
  • Various drywalls (consult manufacturer’s data)
Surface Preparation
  • All surfaces must be dimensionally stable as per IS 1443 (1972)
  • If the adhesive is to be applied onto a cement based surface, ensure that the substrate to be tiled has cured for a minimum of 7 days before application of the adhesive
  • It is recommended to always dampen absorbent cement-based surfaces
  • Ensure that the back of the tile or stone to be fixed is free of any dust or coating
Adhesive Preparation

Pour clean potable water into a container and to it add FixCera™ Curve and mix until a smooth consistency is attained. Add more water to the mixture if needed to obtain the desired consistency. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes and remix again before use. Ensure to always add adhesive to water and not vice-versa.

Mixing Proportion

Approximately 7.2L of clean potable water is required for one 20 kg bag of FixCera™ Curve.

Installation
  • Use the straight edge of a trowel to apply a thin coat of the adhesive onto the substrate
  • Comb additional mortar on the surface using a notched trowel held at an angle of 45 from the leveled surface
  • Place and then press the tile firmly into place with a slight twisting motion
  • Back-buttering is necessary for all large format tiles
  • Periodically check tiles for complete wetting by the adhesive mortar
  • If the adhesive mortar has ‘skinned’ and results in incomplete wetting of the tile surface, discard the adhesive and replace it with fresh mortar
  • Create elastic expansion joints as per requirement
  • For highly absorbent natural stones, use an appropriate FixCera Sealer prior to installation
  • Remove any surplus adhesive from the tile while adhesive is still fresh
