Areas of Application

Best suited for tile on tile application. Also ideal for installation of glass mosaics, vitrified tiles, ceramic tiles, terrazzo and natural stones over a variety of substrates. Suitable for wet areas and for wet-on-wet application.

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
  • Concrete
  • Concrete Masonry
  • Cement based Screeds
  • Cement Mortar Beds
  • Cement Plaster
  • Cement Terrazzo
  • Brick Masonry
  • Existing Ceramic Tiles
  • Existing Natural Stones
  • Existing Vitrified Tiles
  • 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™ T1T 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 5.5L of clean potable water is required for one 20 kg bag of FixCera™ T1T.

Installation
  • Dampen the substrate and remove any excess water before applying the adhesive, and ensure that the area is shaded from sunlight
  • Apply the adhesive onto the substrate with the straight edge of a trowel with a scraping motion to ensure optimum surface contact
  • Then apply the additional adhesive with an appropriate notched trowel
  • To ensure maximum adhesion it is important to apply a sufficiently thick layer of the adhesive
  • For large tile with anyone side greater than 300mm should be back buttered with the same adhesive to appropriate thickness
  • It is crucial to check samples and make sure that the back of the tile is completely bedded in the adhesive with total coverage
  • Any excess adhesive should be cleaned from the surface of the tile with a wet cloth or sponge while the adhesive is fresh
