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 PRIMEL 600® BETOKONTAK shall be applied for applications of ceramics over ceramics, 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® POOL shall be added (5.75-6.25 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 8 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 3,600 cm².
