APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION  

  • The surface shall always be free of form oil, dust, paint and materials that reduce adherence.
  • The application surface shall be solid, able to carry load, dry and free of dust.
  • Moving parts with low adherence shall be moved away from the surface.

PREPARATION of the MORTAR  

  • KAROFİX AKRILIK® shall be applied on the surface as a thin layer with the flat side of the scraper.
  • KAROFİX AKRILIK® shall be applied at a single direction on an area that may be coated within 20 minutes, which is its storage period with an open package, so that it whole surface shall have the same
  • thickness.
  • While placing the ceramics, they shall be floated in the adhesion tray to ensure that they contact the adhesion layer.
  • Application is completed by leaving a joint gap of 2.5 mm minimum.
  • Suitable Entegre Joint Fillers shall be used for filling of the selected joint hole.
  • Application of joint filler may be performed approximately 4 days after the application of the ceramics.
