Description
OSMOT Ceramic Tile Fix dry-set mortar, formulated with supreme working characteristics such as Open Time, Pot Life and Coverage. Ideal for use in Hot and Dry climates.
Uses
OSMOT Ceramic Tile Fix cement based adhesive for wall and floor tilling work. It is suitable internal and external applications over Concrete, Brickwork and Rendered surfaces. It is ideal for installing Ceramic Tiles, Homogeneous Tiles and Mosaics.
Preparations
Surfaces must be free of any wax, grease, oil dust or paint overspray. Hence, any further cleaning shall be done using sanding, scraping, or scarifying the surface to assure proper bonding. Smooth Steel Troweled concrete should be roughened prior to installation. For hot and dry conditions, lightly dampen surface with water leaving no water puddles.
Application
Add sufficient cool and clean water 6-8 Litres/ 20 KGS (30%-40%) to dry mix to form a smooth paste like trowable mix. Allow mix to slake for 5-10 minutes, and then remix before use. Machine mixing is preferred (250-350 rpm), higher speeds are not recommended. Stir occasionally during use. Apply mortar liberally with flat side of trowel, using sufficient pressure to work mortar in good contact. Use proper sized notched trowel to ensure 100% coverage of mortar under tiles. Some irregular tiles require back buttering. Place tiles while surface is still wet and tacky. Spread only as much mortar as can be covered in 15-20 minutes or before surface dries, place tiles with twisting motion and beat tile with a rubber mallet to ensure 100% coverage or use your hand pressure by strong pushing Tile. Industry standards require approximately 2 mm. to 3 mm. mortar bed thickness after beat in. A 2-6 mm. gap shall be left around vertical abutments to allow structural movement and filled with OSMOT Tile Grout. Follow ANSI 108.5 specifications for installations.
Clean up
Use paddle for mixing to avoid splashing into eyes or contact with skin. During mixing or application avoid contact with eyes. In case of such contact, flood eyes repeatedly with water and wash thoroughly after handling and before smoking or eating. Do not take internally. CONTAINS FREE LIMESTONE DO NOT BREATHE DUST.
