ARMORFIX 109
NON SLIP TILE ADHESIVE FOR CERAMIC TILES FOR INTERNAL & EXTERNAL TILING
Product Description
ARMORFIX -109 is a high performing, standard setting, cement based tile adhesive. It is suitable for thin and thick bed applications, internal applications. ARMORFIX -109 is polymer modified and has excellent anti-slip properties.
It is suitable for the fixing of porcelain, mosaic and ceramic tiles on floor and wall of concrete, concrete block and cement render.
- High adhesive tensile strength
- For internal tiling of walls and floors.
- Polymer modified and therefore provides strong bond for tiles with low porosity
- Easy to mix and apply
- Non sag and anti- slip properties with high initial adhesiveness
- Greater workability due to high port life
For the installation of floor and wall, ceramic tiles, mosaic, internal applications
The substrate must be fully cured and well prepared, it must be sound, clean, structurally stable, f ree f rom dirt, loose particles, efflorescence, chemicals and other contaminants, in order to ensure proper bonding. Standard practice requires at least seven weeks before tiling on concrete and two weeks before tiling on screed.
Pour ARMORFIX-109 into a clean plastic or metal bucket containing clean water, pour adequate quantity of ARMORFIX-109 that can be used within the pot life of 4 hours. 20kg of ARMORFIX -109 requires approximately 4 litres of water. Stir with a mixing device or by hand. Let the mixture rest for 10-15 minutes and restart briefly before application. No further water should be added after mixing.
Spread ARMORFIX -109 tile adhesive mortar evenly over 1m² area at a time using a notched trowel. Fix tiles immediately within the open time of 20 – 40 minutes. Please be sure that all areas are covered with ARMORFIX -109.
GROUTING
Grouting should be done 24 hours after tiling, for SWIMMING pool leave at least 3 days before grouting and at least one week before filling.
For thin solid bed application (3mm thickness) 4 – 5 k g of A R MO R F I X – 1 0 9 w i l l c ov e r approximately 1m². Large tiles may need to have the adhesive buttered to the back as well. Ensure that tiles are well bedded into the adhesive. See further information in the technical section below
