renafix 201 TDS – Installation

Preparation

  • All substrates should be structurally sound, clean and free from any kinds of debonding agents, dust, grease, oils, paint, release agents, etc.
  • Clean the area and completely remove all the construction debris before the application.
  • All tile and non-porous surfaces should be cleaned well with neutral water.

Mixing

  • Use clean, potable water for mixing.
  • Add Renafix 201 to the clean water into the mixing pot.
  • Use approximately 4 to 5 L of water for 20 kg of powder.

Application

  • Always use an appropriate standard notched trowel for application on the substrate and do buttering on the back of the tile for better adhesion.
  • Spread the tile adhesive horizontally and vertically for not more than 1 sq.m. at a time, comb it to the required depth using a suitable notched trowel on the substrate & tile.
  • Place the tile/stone in the wet adhesive and adjust the tile by pressing the tile firmly into a position with a twisting action.
  • Use a beating block or a rubber mallet to embed the tile properly.

    Protection

    • Protect the surface against rain for at least 24 hours.
    • Keep the floor away from general foot traffic for at least 24 hours after application. Prohibit heavy foot traffic for 72 hours

    Grouting

    • Grout installation shall be carried out after 24 hours of application.
    • Note: Wall joints can be grouted after 7 to 8 hours of application and floor joints after 24 hours of application.
