Fields of Application

  • It is used in laying facing materials, such as small and medium size ceramic floor and wall tile with water absorption >3%, natural stone, limestone and decorative facing brick, on exterior and interior walls as well as on various surfaces including concrete, plaster or floor screed.

Advantages

  • Easy preparation and use;
  • No sliding on vertical surfaces;
  • It is possible to bond ceramic and other facing tiles from top downward;
  • Resistant to freezing and warm weather conditions.

Application procedures

Preparation of surfaces. Please pay attention to the surface to be used: it should be firm, dry, clean, and should have required dimensions; the surface should be totally free of fat and paraffin residues deteriorating adhesive force. If there are cracks or gaps 5-6 mm deep on the surface, they should be removed with an appropriate repair mixture or other similar product a day before the application. In addition the surface to be used should first be dampened or primed with ROKOL primer or the other similar products.

Preparation of mixture. Carefully pour 25 kg powder slurry to 6.0-6.5 liters of water and mix till it is entirely homogeneous. Give the mixture 3-5 minutes to set, mix again before application.

Application. Apply thin coat of the mixture onto the surface using flat side of trowel. Then trowel over the applied mixture with toothed side of the trowel according to the tile dimensions. It is recommended to use combined method of gluing for large-size tiles (according to this method adhesive is applied onto the surface and combed, and it is applied also onto the back side of the facing tile, whereupon the tile is pressed to the combed surface). Right moment for gluing the tile to the surface with applied mixture is defined by fingertip control (pressing) of the mixture. If the mixture sticks to the finger then tiles can be applied to the surface. This waiting period should not exceed 30 minutes. In case the mixture applied to the surface has been coagulated, it should be scrapped, and tiles should be laid after repeated application of the mixture and combing it with the toothed trowel. Prepared mixture should be used within 3 hours. We do not recommend to use the mixture after this period expired and crust is formed. Filling of joints can be executed on walls in 24 hours after application of the mixture, and in 48 hours on floorings.

Recommendations. If at the time of applying MATANAT ceramic adhesive the environmental temperature exceeds limits of +5°C- +30°C range, required temperature should be provided. The adhesive should not be used in warm (above +30°C), rainy and windy weather conditions. Ceramics having high moisture absorption degree should be saturated with water before use. After the useful life expiration the mixture in no case should be diluted with water or adhesive substances. After use all the hand tools and devices should be cleaned with water.

Shelf Life and Method of Storage

The product can be stored during 12 months packed in original sacks in dry conditions on wooden racks, maximum 10 sacks per rack.
