Yeni Sayfa 1

 
 DESCRIPTION  

It is a highly durable and elastic cement-based granite and ceramic tile adhesive
containing polymer.
 

 AREAS OF APPLICATION

Used for the adherence of covering materials such as granite, ceramics, natural granite, big-sized ceramics and porcelain.It can be applied to cement based plaster, concrete floor and levelled concrete surfaces.

 

APPLICATION LIMITS

 

1-Can not be applied to wood, painted, metal and gypsum plastered surfaces.
2-Can not be used on the existing ceramic-tile surfaces, concrete wall, gypsum board and cement board particles without prime coat which improves adherence.
Extra CERAX; has a high resistance to exterior climate, mainly to extremes of freezing and hot weather It provides a fast and easy application. Extra CERAX forms a solid ground with its high adhesive resistance.
 

PREPARATION OF SURFACE

1. Plaster thinner than 3 mm on the surface must be scraped and thoroughly removed.
2. Porous surfaces must be wetted and water layer should be let to disappear, leaving a humid surface.
3. Significant irregularities or holes on teh surface must be remedied by using BETOX Reparing Mortar Coarse at least 48 hours prior to application of Extra CERAX Granite-Ceramic Tile Adhesive.
4. Local repairs below 7 mm may be performed by using Cerax.
 

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

1. It is recommended to be applied under an ambient temperature ranging between 5ºC and 35ºC.
2. It should not be applied to melted, frozen or hot surfaces.
3. It should not be applied to surfaces exposed to sunlight.
4. No foreign substance (lime, cement, gypsum, etc.) should be added to the mortar prepared.
5. Mortar should not be reused after mixing it with water or dry mortar if the period specified for its use has elapsed.
 

APPLICATION

1. 6-7 liters of water in average and 25 kg. of Extra CERAX Granite-Ceramic Tile Adhesive should be thoroughly mixed by a mixer with a low rotation speed or a trowel so that no lump remains in the mortar.

2. Extra CERAX Granite-Ceramic Tile Adhesiveshould be mixed again for 1 or 2 minutes after 5 minutes the initial mixing process in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture.

3. Mortar should be applied to both the surface of application and the back of ceramic tiles larger than 25 x 25 cm in order to ensure adhesion on both sides.

4. Mortar will be applied to the surface and its thickness must be adjusted by a notched steel trowel. The notch size of trowels should be determined according to the size of the ceramic tile to be affixed and smoothness of the surface of application.

5. In order to achieve satisfactory adhesion, force must be applied by using a rubber hammer and residue air should be discharged.
