Mixing

Use required amount of Acemix 2C Latex admix (approximately 200 to 250 ml for 1 kg powder) for proper mixing. Take Latex admix in a clean pail and pour powder slowly under controlled mixing. Mix by hand or use slow speed drill mixer (150 – 200 rpm speed) to achieve smooth, paste-like consistency. Let the homogeneously mixed adhesive mixture slake or stand 3 -5 minutes, stir again and use. Stir occasionally, but do not add more water. When it is properly mixed, troweled ridges will stand without slump.

Use a required size notch trowel to ensure proper coverage under tiles. Using the flat side of the trowel, apply a skim coat of mortar to the surface. With the help of properly notched or teeth side of the trowel held at 45° angle, apply additional mortar to the surface, combing in one direction. Press the tile firmly into place in a perpendicular motion across ridges, moving back and forth. The perpendicular motion flattens ridges and closes valleys, allowing maximum coverage. With some tile, back-buttering is advisable. Adjust the tile promptly and beat it in with a beating block and rubber mallet. Periodically pull up a tile and check the back to ensure proper adhesive coverage. If the material has skinned over, recomb with the notch trowel. If too dry, remove and replace the dry material with fresh material. Material in the bucket will remain workable for approximately 3- 4 hours.

Recommended substrates:

• Cement floors, concrete bed
• Masonry
• Ceramic tiles and stones
• Plaster
• For most category dry wall boards

Surface preparation

Surface must be structurally strong. Remove all grease, oil, dirt, curing compounds, sealers, adhesives, efflorescence or any other contaminant that would prevent good bonding. Concrete or plaster must be cured 28 days prior to bonding unless it is made with Acescreed or Aceplast and should not be subjected to hydrostatic pressure. Expansion joints should never be bridged with setting material. Surface temperature should be maintained above 10° C or below 38° C to achieve proper bonding.

Pack size:

Available in 20 kg bag in grey & white colour.

Shelf life:

12 months, if stored in cool and dry area in unopened bag.

Coverage:

Approximately 3 sft per 1 kg for 3 mm bed thickness. Coverage will vary depending on surface undulation and application variances.

Curing and protection:

Curing time is affected by ambient, surface temperatures and humidity. Generally, light foot traffic can be allowed in 16 hours at 25°C, normal foot traffic in 24 hours and heavy foot traffic in 7days after installation.

Grouting:

Grouting can be done after 24 hrs of installation of tiles. Use Acegrout superfine series grout for up to 3mm joints and Acegrout coarse series grout for 3 – 12 mm joints. Use Acepoxy Epoxy grout for stain and chemical resistance, hygienic grout. Please call customer service executive for more information.
