INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Preparation of the surface
All surfaces must be dimensionally stable according to IS 1443-1972, level, cured, undamaged, compact, rigid, resistant, dry and free
from any debonding agents and from damp rising.
It is good practice to dampen highly absorbent concrete surfaces or apply a coat of Primer A Eco.

Preparation

Creamy paste consistency for low thickness fixing and full Non-sag consistency on walls and for high thickness fixing:
wettability: -Grey
- ≈ 7 litres of clean water per bag
-Grey 
- ≈ 9 litres of clean water per bag -White
- ≈ 8.5 litres of clean water per bag
-White 
- ≈ 10.5 litres of clean water per bag

Application
To guarantee maximum adhesion it is necessary to apply a sufficient layer of adhesive, on the back surface of the tile. Large, rectangular
sizes with sides > 60 cm may require adhesive to be applied directly to the back of the tile surface.
Check samples to make sure the adhesive has been transferred to the back of the material.
Create elastic expansion joints:
- ≈ 10 m2 in external applications,
- ≈ 25 m2 in internal applications,
- every 8 metres in long, narrow applications.
Respect all structural, fractionizing, and perimeter joints present in the surfaces.

SPECIAL NOTES
Pre-treatment of special surfaces
Gypsum and anhydrite (internal use only): Primer A Eco.
As treating special fixing surfaces is difficult to classify in a standard manner, it is always advisable to contact Kerakoll India Helpline
and/or request a site inspection by Kerakoll India sales team. In any case it is essential to carefully read the technical data sheet on how
to use the indicated primers properly.

Materials and special surfaces

Marble, Natural Stones and Recomposed Materials that are subject to deformation or staining due to water absorption require a
00713H40® No Limits Code: P887 2020/09 - IN

reactive adhesive. Marble, natural stones and recomposed materials in general may have characteristics that vary even with reference
to materials of the same chemical and physical nature. For this reason it is essential you consult Kerakoll Helpline to request specific
indications or to carry out a test on a sample of the material.
In the absence of specific indications from the manufacturer, natural stone slabs with reinforcement layers, in the form of resin coating,
polymer mesh, matting, etc. or treatments (for example damp courses, etc.) applied on the fixing surface must be tested in advance to
ensure they are compatible with the adhesive.
Check for the presence of any really consistent traces of rock dust created during cutting, and remove them if found.
Waterproofing products: adherent and floating polymer sheets, liquid bitumen and tar-based sheets or membranes require application
of a fixing screed on top.

Special applications
Facades: the surface should guarantee a cohesive tensile strength of ≥ 1.0 N/mm2.
For coverings with > 60 cm side, if necessary add to the mixing water a percentage of Top Latex Eco to assess the function of the thermo-
dynamic strain provided by the structure.
Always apply a layer of adhesive directly on the back of the tile/stone.
