SKW 112
Description
SKW 112 is a thin layer, cement based tile adhesive. It is polymer modified and suitable for applications on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. It consists of cement, quartz sand, lime fillers and admixtures. It is classified as type C1 according to EN 12004.
Application Fields
- Suitable for the adhesion of clay tiles, ceramic tiles, ceramic inlays, decorative elements consisting of small tiles attached on a mesh, ceramic slabs and ceramic materials on mineral substrates in dry and wet duty rooms.
Advantages
- Produced with quartz sand
- Strong adhesion on all common substrates
- It has excellent workability and high tolerance for fast application
- High mechanical strenght
- Fast application
- CE certified- according to European standard ΕΝ 12004
Application Steps
The tile laying substrates 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 substrates are primed using GLX 290 primer before application.
Step 2In a clean container add 7,0-7,5 litres of clean water and gradually empty the content of a 25 Kg sack of product SKW 112, stirring continuously with an electric mixer in order to acquire a uniform wet mortar mass.
Step 3Let the resulting mixture age for 5 minutes and stir again. The mixture is ready to be used within the next 4 hours.
Step 4Following the preparation of the mixture do not add more water in order to correct the workability of the wet mortar.
Step 5This will lead to the reduction of its strength and the increase of its shrinkage.
Step 6Spread the adhesive on the surface and then comb the adhesive layer using a special notched spatula. Within 20 min of adhesive layering, place the tiles at their location, pressuring firmly in order to ensure full contact.The excess adhesive must be cleaned from the joints prior to its drying.
Step 7cleaned from the joints prior to its drying. On surfaces larger than 25m2 it is necessary to install expansion joints. At the contact joints between floors and wall it is recommended to use suitable joint fillers.
Step 8During application and for the next 24 hours the environmental and substrate temperature must be between +50C and +350C.
Step 9The cleaning of the adhesive is done with water while still wet. When it hardens it is removed mechanically.
Storage
In a dry environment at temperatures above 00C for 12 months its production date.
