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 RAPID® shall be added (6 lt 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 1,100 cm².
  • A suitable amount of mortar shall be prepared considering the application speed and it shall not be spread at a large area.
