Antique Adhesive Silver (Grey) is composed of ordinary portland cement properly selected & graded
aggregates, polymer, rheology modifier & additives. It is used for fixing of tiles internally & externally floors
because it gives excellent bond on cementitious surfaces like, concrete, plaster, etc. It forms a waterproof barrier
between two surfaces and has excellent ‘grab’ properties of tiles to the substrate.

Areas of Application

For fixing all types of Flooring tiles on internal & external,
* Floors.

Features & Benefits

* Ease of application – Ready to use, needs only mixing with water.
* Adhesion – Excellent adhesion prevent falling of tiles.
* Shrinkage – Low shrinkage hence prevents cracking of tiles & joints.
* Flexibility – Sufficiently flexible to accommodate physical & thermal movements.
* Water resistance – Excellent water resistance.
* Curing – Needs no water curing, hence saves labour & time.
* Traffic ability – Floors can be used after 24 hours of application.
* Soaking -Soaking of tiles & backing of surface not required
* Slip resistance – Non slip resistance is an advantage to fasten the work
* Toxicity – Non toxic

Method of Application

1. SURFACE PREPARATION
* The surface should be sound, clean, and free from dirt, oil or grease before Antique Adhesive Silver (Grey)
is applied.
* Substrate should be in Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) condition before application of adhesive.
* Substrates should be in plumb before application of adhesive

2. MIXING
* Mix 20 kg of Antique Adhesive Silver (Grey) with 5 to 5.5 liters of water.
* Mix to a uniform lump-free consistency using a forced action mixer.
* Keep it for approximately 5 minutes to fatten it.
* Hand mixing is recommended for small quantities only.
* Mix as much quantity as can be consumed in 60 min.

3. APPLICATION
Apply Antique Adhesive Silver (Grey) paste on substrate with plain side of notch trowel. Press paste firmly to
work into substrate.
* Comb with notch trowel with notched side, notch trowel to be selected as per required bed thickness.
* Spread as much adhesive paste as can be tiled within 15 minutes.
* Start placing/fixing of tiles & tap using beating block or rubber mallet.
* For large format tiles & stone provide back butter for 100 % coverage & firm bonding.
* Periodically remove a tile to check transfer of material on tile. Also check spread of adhesive, if not proper and if becomes non-sticky then scrap it & apply paste again..

4. GROUTING
* Grouting should preferably be carried out at least 24 hours after the completion of tiling
* For grout joints upto 3mm wide use Antique Adhesive Silver (Grey)
* For grout joints above 3mm wide use RTM Wide.
* After grouting clean and polish tiles with a damp sponge or cloth

5. CLEANING
* Clean the tools & equipments with potable water immediately after use.

Precautions & Limitations

* Always add powder to liquid and not liquid to powder.
* While working in temperature more than 35OC ( 95OF ) always dampen the substrate & finish faster.
* Tiling should not be done when surface temperature is below 4OC.
* Antique Adhesive Silver (Grey) should not be used on painted , metal surfaces, ply & gypsum boards.
