APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION

The surface shall always be free of form oil, dust, paint and materials that reduce adherence.
Repair of the cracks and holes shall be made using appropriate Entegre Repair Mortars before application.
Application surface shall be dampened with water, if required.
PRIMEL 100® shall be applied before application on surfaces that are not resistant to moisture such as plasterboard, cardboard, gypsum plasters etc. and the fixing operation is started when drying is complete (after approx. 24 hours).

PREPARATION of the MORTAR

Water shall be put to the mixing vessel first, then KAROFIX PLUS® shall be added (5.5-6 l water/25 kg bag) and it shall be stirred until the lumps are removed.
Stop for 5 minutes, and stir again to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
The mortar prepared shall be applied up to a thickness of 10 mm, it shall be combed and ceramic shall be fixed.
For a good adhesion, application shall be performed by applying force on the surface with a rubber hammer. Double sided fixing shall be used for coatings greater than 1,100 cm².

Mortar shall not be used again by mixing with water or dry mortar if its application time has expired.
Wait until the ceramic adhesive is dried for joint application.
Used for coatings with water absorption of > 0.5 (ceramic, tile, etc.).
Coating areas specified below are suitable for an ideal application:
- On interior floor: Area of ceramics ≤1600 cm²
- On exterior floor ≤1200 cm²
- On interior walls: Area of ceramics ≤1100 cm²
We recommend that the application shall be performed between +5°C and +35°C.
For an ideal application, coating material shall be fixed to the mortar applied on the surface within 30 minutes.
It shall not be applied on frozen surfaces.
