Application

Fixing and Grouting Vertical and horizontal substrates which are exposed to chemicals or Mechanical pressures.

• For fixing tiles on various substrates like concrete, mortar, metal, wood etc.
• Industrial areas like diaries, laboratories, slaughter houses, refineries and petrochemicals
• Industrial kitchens and pools

Advantages

• High adhesion to metal and cementitious substrates and surfaces
• High mechanical properties
• Excellent resistance to industrial chemicals
• Recommend for joint with 2 to 20mm width
• Easy clean prior to setting
• Different colors
• Non shrink

 Consumption

• 2 to 4 kg/m2 for E180 as a tile adhesive
• For G 180:

Width: 3mm, depth: 5mm is approx. 35 g/m Width: 6mm, depth: 5mm is approx.70 g/m Width: 10mm, depth: 5mm is approx. 110 g/m E 180 is packed in: A: 1 kg, B: 500gr, C: 4.250kg G 180 is packed in: A: 1 kg, B: 500gr, C: 5.500kg Note: components A and B are the same in E 180 and G 180 but different in part c.

Direction for Use

Substrate Preparation

• The substrate and joints must be dry, sound, clean, oil and dust free.
• Remove the laitance and unsounded ports, then Repair with polymer modified mortars (SA12, SA46)
• If necessary remove the penetrated chemicals from substrate by water or sand blasting.
• For improving the adhesion of adhesive apply FARCOTILE primer.

Mixing

• Components A (resin) and B (hardener) and C (powder) are packed in 3 separate pre-weight containers.
• Add component A and B completely together and mix with a stirrer, then add the entire content of part C gradually while mixing. Continue mixing until a homogenous and lump free mixture is gained.
• The reaction of components is exothermic and the pot life is directly affected by ambient and materials temperatures

Fixing the tiles

Spread the adhesive on to the prepared substrate with a suitable notched trowel.

Put the clean and dry tile on the adhesive and press to gain maximum bonding

Grouting the tiles

Apply the mixture immediately in to the joints with a rubber spatula or spout Remove excess material immediately in diagonal direction and clean the surface by wet sponge before hardening.

Remarks

• In low temperatures the viscosity of parts A and BIncrease therefore the mixture loses its workability and reaction time increases, on the other hand, high temperatures shorten the pot life and increase hardening rate.

• The temperatures of components, mixture and ambient is between is18 to 25°c to have the optimal workability and working time.
• Keep the components at these temperatures prior to start.

Storage

Storage recommended keeping within the range of 5°c to 40°c. If product has frozen, thaw and agitate until completely reconstituted.

Keep out of direct sunlight.

Shelf life

FARCOTILE E-G180 Can be stored 6 month in a normal environment in original packaging.
