MKW 136
Description
MKW 136 is a thick-bed, , cement based marble and granite adhesive. It is polymer modified and suitable for applications on horizontal and vertical surfaces. It consists of cement, mineral fillers and admixtures. It is classified as type C2T according to EN 12004.
Application Fields
- Suitable for fixing marble and granite on mineral and vertical substrates in dry and wet duty rooms
Advantages
- It prevents staining of marble elements and is qualified as a slip resistant tile adhesive which means that tile does not slip at all on vertical surfaces
- It has high resistance to weather conditions (storm, heat and freezing)
- It exhibits thixotropic properties
Application Steps
The tile-layering sub-layer must be flat, free from brittle and foreign bodies such as for example plaster residue, paint, oils, etc. It must be stable free from. istortions 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 4.5-5.0 liters of clean water and gradually empty the content of a 25 Kg sack of product FSW 140, mixing continuously with an electric mixer in order to acquire a uniform grout mass. Let the resulting mixture age for 5 minutes and mix again.
Step 3The mixture is ready to be used within the next 1.5 hours.
Step 4ain. The mixture is ready to be used within the next 1.5 hours. Following the preparation of the mixture do not add more water in order to correct the workability of the slurry. This would lead to the reduction of its tolerances and the increase of its shrinkage.
Step 5This would lead to the reduction of its tolerances and the increase of its shrinkage The open time for application is 10min.
Step 6Following completion of the application clean the surface with a wet sponge.
Step 7The open time for application is 10min. Any excess adhesive must be removed from the joints.
Step 8After the lapse of 1-2 hours from the application of the grout on the firebricks, perform mounting using the same product.
Step 9Prior to the initial usage of the fireplace, oven, etc, the grout must be fully dried. It is recommended that the initial operation is performed after 10 days.
Step 10During application and for the next 24 hours the environmental and sub-layer temperature must be between +5oC and +35oC.
Step 11The 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.
