Product Info
Vibrant Tilefixo-v2 Is A Polymer Modified Cement Based High Performance, High Strength, And High Quality Tile Adhesive Developed To Fix Vitrified Tiles. Suitable For Both Internal And External, Thin Bed Applications.
Specification
Technical Parameters Complies With IS 15477:2019.
Features & Benefits
- Single component, no hassles of mixing ingredients
- Excellent bond strength
- No shrinkage
- Economical
- Nil wastages
- Easy to spread
- No curing required
- High slip resistance
- Consistent in quality
Areas of Application
Vibrant TILEFIX-V2 is recommended for fixing ceramic tiles. It is also recommended for tile-on-tile, tile-on-mosaic, tile-on-cement floors. Suitable for wall and floor applications.
Method of Application
Surface Preparation
- Prepare the surfaces before the tile adhesive application by removing oil, bond-inhibiting agents, dirt, dust, and laitance. Cleaning can be carried out with suitable methods like brush, water jetting, mopping, etc.
Mixing
- Vibrant Tilefixo-v2 Requires 24% Of Water By Weight Of Material.
- Mix Vibrant Tilefixo-v2 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-V2 to the prepared substrate using the appropriate notched trowels for the size of the tiles being laid
- A minimum of 3 mm bed thickness of Tile Adhesive for walls and floors must be achieved
- Lay tiles onto 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-V2
- It is recommended to fix the tiles within 30 minutes of spreading of Vibrant TILEFIXO-V2 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 area 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 friction effect by removing polish/wax/top smooth layers.

Note
Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the subsequent usage of the tile fixed areas. Do not tile if temperatures are likely to drop to below 5°C or exceed 50°C. For temperatures below 20°C allow the adhesive to cure for an extended period of time. Pot life, open time and adjusting time depends on the surface absorption, wind factor, temperature, humidity conditions atsite.
The technical data provided in this technical data sheet is as per our internal lab testing and may vary as per the actual method of application at sites.
Precaution
- Not suitable for tiling over flexible substrates, such as fibrous cement sheeting, plasterboard and timber
- Not suitable for tiling directly onto timber, plywood & glass
- Not suitable for tiling directly on to metals or plastic substrates
- Not suitable for tiling directly onto polyurethane
membranes
- Not suitable for moisture sensitive tiles or stone
- Do not mix or apply adhesives in temperatures below 5°C and above 50°C and under extreme hot and windy conditions
