SURFACE PREPARATION

The surface shall always be free of form oil, dust, paint and materials that reduce adherence.
The application surface shall be solid, able to carry load, dry and free of dust.
Moving parts with low adherence shall be moved away from the surface.

PREPARATION of the MORTAR

KAROFİX AKRILIK® shall be applied on the surface as a thin layer with the flat side of the scraper.
KAROFİX AKRILIK® shall be applied at a single direction on an area that may be coated within 20 minutes, which is its storage period with an open package, so that it whole surface shall have the same thickness.
While placing the ceramics, they shall be floated in the adhesion tray to ensure that they contact the adhesion layer.
Application is completed by leaving a joint gap of 2.5 mm minimum.
Suitable Entegre Joint Fillers shall be used for filling of the selected joint hole.
Application of joint filler may be performed approximately 4 days after the application of the ceramics.

1.7 kg/m² for 1 mm of thickness (≤100 cm² ceramic coatings)

We recommend you not to apply a thickness over 3 mm.

15 kg plastic bucket

1 Year Shelf Life*
* In cool environments

No other materials (lime, cement, gypsum, etc.) shall be added to the prepared mortar.
Storage and application areas shall be ventilated.
Freezes under -10°C. Frozen material shall be left for thawing in a hot environment and shall be mixed well before using.
Application of joint filler shall be performed 7 days after the adhesion of the ceramics over ceramics.
For interior walls, coating area ≤ 1,100 cm² (maximum 12 m); for exterior walls, coating area ≤ 110 cm² (maximum 6 m)
We recommend you to take additional mechanical precautions for heights over 6 m.
We recommend you not to apply a thickness over 3 mm.
Work area shall be heated when the application temperature is below 5°C.
Work area shall be heated when the floor temperature is below 5°C.
KAROFIX AKRILIK® applied at 23°C reaches its final strength 24 days later; this period may extend at lower temperatures.
You shall prefer our cement-based products for fixing of covering materials with a larger size and lower absorption rate on floor applications.
It is not recommended for continuously wet floors such as pools.
Do not inhale it directly. Wash your eyes with plenty of water in case of contact with eyes, seek medical attention if required.
