Tile Adhesive Slurry

DU GO is Professional, single-part, superior-technology adhesive slurry with high levels of adhesion and deformability, suitable for high-resistance laying with tacking technique or slurry key on fresh, cement- based mortars of homogeneous tiles, ceramic tiles of all types large-format paving slabs and stable natural stone.
Areas of Application

• Adhesive slurry specially made for cement mortar bed fixing all kind of poorly absorbent floor or non-absorbent floor.
• Adjustability ≥30 min.
• Floors, for internal and external use
• Suitable for ceramic, porcelain and single-fired tiles and stable natural stone

Features & Benefits

• For high-resistance laying with tacking technique
• Single-part
• Superior-technology adhesive slurry

Method of Application
The screed must be compacted and braced to make it perfectly planar and suitable for laying covering materials. The degree of mechanical resistance must be adequate for the use of the flooring. Special care must be taken over the dosage of the cement and in the selection of the granulometry of inert fillers in order to reduce the water/cement ratio and consequent hygrometric shrinkages.
Preparation and Application

• DU GO must be applied with the tacking method directly on the cement based screed while it is still fresh. Spread a uniforamly distributed quantity of product to create thickness of at least 2 mm thick.
• Moisten the tacking with a sprinkler and proceed to lay the covering materials.
• Beat down on the flooring with the appropriate equipment, moving in a direction perpendicular to that followed during laying and constantly making sure that the tiles have
• adhered properly to the substrate.
• Moisten a second time if necessary. Depending on customary technique and preference, hydration of the tacking can also be performed after laying the tiles

Slurry-key applications

• Mix DU GO in a container with clean water until a fluid, lump-free slurry key is obtained.
• Apply a uniform layer of at least 2 mm thick on the screed, using a smooth spreader or a trowel.
• Lay the covering materials and regulate with a rubber hammer to facilitate adhesion to the substrate without re-moistening.

Precautions & Limitations

• Do not use on screeds which have begun setting and are subject to continuous moisture rising.
• Perform laying and beating of tiles while the screed is still fresh
• Protect against direct rain and freezing for at least 24 hours • Respect the structural joints
• The temperature, ventilation and absorption of the substrate and covering
• Materials may vary the workability and setting times of the tacking adhesive.

Coverage

• This shall depend on the nature and flatness of the surface and the method of application, but at 3 mm thickness it is approximately 2-3 Kg/m' when using a solidbed
• trowel. For good coverage, it is vitally important that all surfaces should be clean, smooth, plumb, level and free from defects and undulations.
