Teratile Diamond Tile Adhesive for Bathroom & Wet Areas

Description: Teratile Diamond is polymer modified adhesive for f ixing tiles and natural stone on interior and exterior f loors & walls. It is composed of ordinary Portland cement, properly selected & graded aggregates & polymers. Uses: Permanent fixing of ceramic, glass mosaic, vitrified tiles, all stones dense and large dimension (> 300mm x 300mm) having porosity less than or equal to 3% for both internal & external application of tiles for wet area, dry area & submerged conditions. Advantages/Characteristics: Can be used in internal , external and submerged conditions. Tropical grade to suit working conditions. Good open wet time. Good Slip resistance on vertical application. High adhesion strength. Single component - ease of application. Non shrink - excellent bond with the substrate. Product Applicable Substrates: Concrete & Concrete. Masonry VDF / Tremix Concrete. Cement Mortar Beds. Cement Plaster. Hard natural and reconstituted stone. Not Recommendations: Do not use Teraile Diamond on, Gypsum plasterPaint or metal. Wood or wood agglomerates. Gypsum board or expanded cement. Metallic, rubber, PVC, linoleum surfaces. For fixing glass mosaics. On heated or existing floors. On prefabricated concrete or surfaces subject to strong movement. Product Standard Compliance: IS 15477:2019 (CM/L-) EN 12004 & ISO 13007, ANSI A118.4 EN 1348, EN1542*C1/C2=Tiles Type T- Slip Resistance E- Open time, Type- I, II, III, IV, V Application Procedure: Surface Preparation: The surface must be cured, mechanically resistance, f ree from loose particles, oil, grease, paint, wax & sufficiently dry. The cementitious substrates must not be subjected to shrinkage or strong movement after tile installation. Preparation of Mixture: Add 20 kg of tile adhesive powder into 3.8 liter of water in a bucket and blend properly with electric blender. Application of the mixture: Teratile Diamond is applied on the substrate with a notched trowel in order to achieve a minimum uniform thickness of 2mm. Press firmly the tile into the substrate for certain seconds to ensure good contact with the adhesive. It is compulsory for better and full adhesion, apply Teratile Diamond on both: back of the tile & substrate. In case of contact with the skin, rinse with plenty of clean water, then cleanse thoroughly with soap and water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. If swallowed seek medical attention immediately - do not induce vomiting. Important Points for Tile Application: It is not necessary to wet the tiles before installation; only in the case of very dusty backs, washing is recommended by immersing in clean water. The tiles must be installed in the normal way, pressing firmly to ensure good contact with the adhesive. The open time of Teratile Diamond under normal conditions of temperature and humidity is minimum 20 minutes. Unfavourable conditions (dry wind, high temperatures) as well as a very absorbent substrate could drastically reduce the open time to a few minutes. It is necessary to constantly check that no superficial f ilm has been formed on the adhesive surface and it is still fresh. In case of the superficial film being formed, the adhesive must be re-applied with the notched trowel. Wetting the adhesive after it has formed a skin is not recommended because the water forms an anti adhesion film instead of dissolving it. Gaps must be left in-between the tiles varying from 2 mm to 5 mm depending on the tile formats. Eventual adjustment of the tiles must be done within 20 minutes from the installation. Tiles installed with Teratile Diamond must be protected from the frost for 5-7 hours after installation. Limitations: Teratile Diamond should not be used when the temperature is below 5°C and falling. The product should not be exposed to moving water during application. If any doubt arise concerning temperature or substrate conditions, consult Redwop office. Bonding Agent: To increase the
