FKW 134
Description
FKW 134 is a quick-setting, thin layer, cement based tile adhesive. It is polymer modified and suitable for applications on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. It consists of fast setting cement, quartz sand, mineral fillers and admixtures. It is classified as type C2FT according to EN 12004.
Application Fields
- Suitable for fixing ceramic tiles, cotto tiles, mosaic, small decorative tiles, granite tile, thin marble on mineral substrates in dry and wet duty rooms
- Specially used when the project has to be delivered very fast
Advantages
- It is ideal for applications requiring same day tiling project (open to light loads in 2-3 hours)
- The thixotropic properties of the adhesive allow crews to commence tile bonding top to bottom
- It is suitable for bonding absorbent or non-absorbent tiles on substrates requiring increased fixing strength, flexibility and resistance to weather fluctuations
- CE certified- as per the European standard ΕΝ 12004
- Adequate for the adhesion of non absorbent tiles
Application Steps
The tile laying sub-layer must be flat, free from brittle and foreign bodies such as for example plaster residue, paint, oils, etc. It must be stable and free from shrinkage and distortion forces and must not be subject to vibrations. The absorbent sub-layers are primed using GLX 290 primer before application.
Step 2In a clean container add 6.5-7.0 liters of clean water and gradually empty the content of a 25 Kg sack of product FKW 134, mixing continuously with an electric mixer in order to acquire a uniform slurry mass
Step 3Let the resulting mixture age for 5 minutes and mix again. The mixture is ready to be used within the next 1.5 hours.
Step 4Following the preparation of the mixture do not add more water in order to correct the workability of the slurry.
Step 5This would lead to the reduction of its tolerances and the increase of its shrinkage. Spread the adhesive on the surface and then comb the adhesive layer using a special toothed spatula.
Step 6Within 10 min since adhesive layering, place the tiles at their location, pressuring firmly in order to ensure full contact The installation of tiles on the wall may be performed starting from the upper part with the entire tile and without any slippage. The excess adhesive must be cleaned off the joints prior to its drying on surfaces larger than 25m2 it is necessary to install expansion joints. At the areas of contact of floors with walls it is recommended to use adequate silica-containing pastes.
Step 7During application and for the next 24 hours the environmental and sub-layer temperature must be between +5oC and +35oC. The adhesive is cleaned with water while still wet. When it hardens it is removed mechanically.
Storage
In a dry environment at temperatures above 0oC for 12 months its production date.
