SR Tile adhesive is multipurpose highly polymer modified adhesive for fixing large format tiles and stones on interior and exterior floor & wall. It is built to endure engineered to perform heavy duty, weather resistant adhesive for external facades and stone fixing with stands extreme temperatures, heavy loads and environmental stress.
Apply adhesive to the substrate with the flat side of the trowel, pressing firmly to work into surface. Comb on additional adhesive with the notched side. Use the proper sized notched trowel to ensure full bedding of the tile. Spread as much adhesive as can be covered with tile in 10 minutes. Back butter large format tiles (> 12”x12”) to provide full bedding and firm support.
The SR GRIPMAX T03 ALTRA adhesive shall be applied to the surface to be tiled with a notched trowel using a scraping motion to work the adhesive into good contact with the surface to be covered. Notch trowel with notches approximately 4mm is recommended to get a bed thickness of 1.5-2mm. V-notch of 3mm also can be used to get bed thickness of 1.5mm. Apply only so much that can be covered with tile within 10-15 minutes or while the adhesive surface is still tacky. The Glass Mosaic tiles shall then be set in place and beaten gently with mallet or grouting float to insure 100% full bedding. Tiles shall be aligned to achieve uniform joints and then allowed to set until firm.
Place clean, potable water into a clean mixing bowl. Add SR GRIPMAX T03 ALTRA powder into the mixing bowl. Use approximately Grey – 5.5 – 6L of water for 20 kg of powder
Dry, dusty concrete slabs or masonry should be dampened, and excess water swept off. Installation may be made on a damp surface. New concrete slabs shall be damp cured and 28* days old before application. No minimum cure time for concrete slabs when thin-set mortar is mixed with latex additive. Expansion joints shall be provided through the tile work from all construction or expansion joints in the substrate.
