MAXKOLA®
THIN BONDING MORTAR FOR FIXING TILES

Description

MAXKOLA is a special tile fixing mortar. Once mixed with water, tiles can be placed either by spreading a thin layer or putting lumps on the back of the tile.

Uses

Tiling of kitchens, bathrooms, walls, skirtings laboratories, hospitals, clinics and exterior walls.

Advantages

- High adhesion and high mechanical resistance.
- It is not necessary to wet neither the wall surface nor the tile as MAXKOLA retains its water.
- It can be applied over gypsum and cement plasters.
- Provides good thixotropic properties and initial adhesion, thus avoiding tile slippage. This allows the tiler more time to arrange the tile pattern.
- Improves the yield of the tiling job saving up to 40-60% of the labour cost.

Application Instructions

Surface.
MAXKOLA is applied over traditional gypsum, and gunned gypsum. The gypsum must be totally dry. It is also suitable for application over cement based plasters. Do not apply MAXKOLA over dead, delayed setting gypsum plasters or those finished with a thin layer of plaster.
Mixing.
Mix a 25 kg. sack of MAXKOLA with 5-6 litres of water until a homogeneous mixture is achieved and let it rest for ten minutes to obtain a creamy consistency.
Application.
It can be spread using a toothed trowel. Do not exceed 5 mm thickness per coat and finish with the toothed edge. The tiles can then be placed in position. The pattern of the tiles can be re-arranged up to a maximum of 50 minutes of spreading.

Requirements

Aprox. 1.1 to 1.2 kg/mē per 1 mm thickness, depending on type and status of the surface and the tile to be fixed.
