PRODUCT TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
APPLICATION GUIDANCE
Surfaces must be structurally strong. Remove all grease, oil, dirt,curing
compounds, sealers, adhesives or any other contaminant that would prevent good
bonding. Glossy or painted surfaces must be sanded, or abraded, and stripped off
all contaminants. Concrete or plaster must be cured 28 days prior to bonding unless
it is made with Acescreed or Aceplast. Concrete must be free of efflorescence and
not subject to hydrostatic pressure. Concrete slabs should have a course finish to
enhance the bond. Roughen the surface by sanding or abrading, then rinse and
allow to dry. Expansion joints should never be bridged with setting material.
Surface temperature should be maintained above 10° C or below 38° C to achieve
proper bond. For questions about proper installation, call Technical Services
executives on +91 963 260 5577.
Use 4.5 – 5 ltr of water or Acemix 2C latex admix for 20 kg powder. Take liquid
in a 20 ltr clean pail and pour powder slowly to the pail under slow mixing. Mix by
7 hand or use a low speed drill mixer (150 – 200 rpm speed) to achieve a smooth,
paste-like consistency. Let the homogeneously mixed adhesive mixture slake or
stand 5 -10 minutes, stir again and use. Stir occasionally, but do not add more water.
When 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 a 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.
Grouting can be done after 24 hrs of installation of tiles. Use Acegrout superfine
series grout for up to 3mm joints and Acepoxy coarse series grout for 3-12 mm
joints. Use Acepoxy Epoxy grout for stain and chemical resistance. Please call
customer service executive for more information.
