Areas of Application
Vibrant Tilefixo-v3 Is Recommended For Fixing Large Size Tiles/slabs Of Granite, Marble, Stone Wall Cladding And Flooring. It Can Be Used Over Cementations Substrates Only.
Method of Application
Surface Preparation
- Prepare The Surfaces Before The Tile Adhesive Application By Removing Oil, Bond Inhibiting Agents, Dirt, Dust And Laitance. The Cleaning Can Be Carried Out With Suitable Methods Like By Using Wire Brush, Water Jetting, Mopping, Etc.
- Vibrant Tilefixo-v3 Is Recommended Over Vertical Surfaces And Vibrant Tilefixo-v3 For Horizontal Floor Areas To Level The Surface In Case Of Higher Undulations Or For Any Repair Works To Attain The Flat, Stable And Normal Absorption Background Prior To Vibranttilefixo-v3 Application.
Mixing
- Vibrant Tilefixo-v3 Requires 25% Of Water By Weight Of Material(4parts Of Tile Adhesive And1 Part Water)
- Mix Vibrant Tilefixo-v3 To The Measures Quantity Of Water Using Mechanical Stirring For 2-3 Minutes To Ensure A Consistency Free Of Lumps
- Allow To Stand For 2 Minutes For The Mix To Mature And Then Remix To Use
- Do Not Add Any Extra Water To Alter The Mix Consistency Or To Extend The Pot Life. Further Water Additions Will Hamper The Adhesion Strength Of The Tile Adhesive
Application
- Apply The Mixed Vibrant Tilefixo-v3 To The Prepared Substrate Using The Appropriate Notched Trowels For The Size Of The Tiles Being Laid
- A Minimum Of 6mm Bed Thickness Of Tile Adhesive For Walls And Floors Must Be Achieved
- Lay Tiles On To The Adhesive, Firmly Press The Tile On To The Adhesive To Ensure Good Initial Bonding, And Do Not Disturb Tiles Until The Adhesive Has Set
- No Pre-wetting Of Tiles Is Required While Using Vibrant Tilefixo-v3
- It Is Recommended To Fix The Tiles Within 30 Minutes Of Spreading Of Vibrant Tilefixo-v3 To Achieve The Adequate Bonding As Per The Technical Data Provided
- Any Tile Fixing After 30 Minutes Will Lead To Improper Adhesion And May Result In De-bonding Of Tiles
- For Vertical Are A Applications, Tiling Should Start From Bottom To Top
- For Tile-on-tile, Tile-on-mosaic, Tile-on-old Cement Floor Application, Care Should Be Taken To Prepare The Existing Base With Adequate Interlocking Fiction Effect By Removing Polish/wax/to P Smooth Layers
