MAXKOLA® M
SPECIAL BONDING MORTAR FOR FIXING LOW POROSITY TILES OVER TRADITIONAL SUBSTRATES

Description

MAXKOLA - M is a polymer modified cementitious base bonding mortar supplied in powder form, which once mixed makes a high performance product for interior or exterior applications.

Uses

Fixing of tiles, ceramics, low, medium or high porosity "gres" or vitrified ceramic, small or medium format natural stone in pavements, and exterior and interior walls. Application supports will be cement grounds and enfoscados walls with sand and cement. For big format pieces it is recommended to use double pasting (over piece and support), or use MAXKOLA FLEX. (See Technical Bulletin Nș.: 81).

Advantages

- High adherence. It avoids the necessity to moist support and ceramic in placing time.
- Single-component.
- Its thixotrophy avoids sliding between placed pieces.

Aplication instructions

Surface preparation. The substrate must be clean and dry. It must be structurally sound. Moisture content in the substrate will not be above 5%. Do not use over weak supports like plaster dead. If bare patches exist, they must be cleaned mechanically or by sand blasting . Using 2 meter guide, test support flatness, so that deviations greater than 5 mm. not exist

Product mix. Mix manually or mechanically, with a mixing drill, at slow speed (500 rpm), with 6 or 7 litres of water per 25 kg. sack, until obtaining a homogeneous and creamy mix , leaving it to rest 5 minutes before use.

Application. Place the material over substrate in small surfaces, 2 m2 approximately, then using a thoothed trowel (6 x 6 mm) to regularise thickness. Do not apply more than 6 mm. thick. Next, place the tiles by pressing over substrate. Pot life is 2 hours and time for rectification of placement is 15 minutes. (Considered at 20 șC and 50% R. H.)

Cautions

Do not exceed the 6 mm. recommended thickness.

Do not apply over moist or weak substrates.

MAXKOLA - M is non toxic, but it is an abrasive compound in its composition. When mixing and placing must be considered do not mix with hands without rubber gloves protection. If any of the mixture gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water, but do not rub. If irritation continues, consult a doctor.
