Application

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

As a general rule and in compliance with professional rules, substrates must be even, clean, dry and free of grease and alkaline laitance.
For porous or friable substrates, apply   ADRAPRIM R or ARDAPREN NF primer (see table).

Suitable substrates

(1) After application of ARDASEC XP  Waterproofing system under tiles.
** Apply ARDAPRIM R or ARDAPREN NF  primer.
*** Apply EPONAL PRIMEPOX  primer.
Not suitable for use on fibre cement, metal, polyester, film-forming coatings <= 3 mm.

 

(1) The size of natural stone tiles is limited to 2000cm².
* Apply ARDAPRIM R  primer.
** Apply EPONAL PRIMEPOX  primer.
*** Apply EPONAL PRIMABOIS  primer.
Not suitable for use on fibre cement, metal, polyester, film-forming coatings <= 3 mm.
Interior floors with siphons: inclined surfaces >= 1 cm/m 
Exterior floors: inclined surfaces >= 1.5 cm/m (not subject to rising damp).
For premises over crawl-space, unheated premises, floors with radiant electric underfloor heating systems use  ARDAFLEX HPS.

  • Mixing ratio: 6 to 6.5 litres of clean water for 25kg.
  • Use a notched trowel to spread and adjust the thickness of the adhesive mortar on the substrate, working no more than 1 to 2 m² at a time.
  • Double side application for tiles larger than: 500 cm² (low porosity) or 1100 cm² (p > 0.5%) for interior floors and 120 cm² (low porosity) or 500 cm² (p > 0.5%) for interior walls. Always proceed with double side application for exterior walls and floors.
  • Position the tiles on adhesive mortar within specified open time and press / tap or roll over them to ensure a perfect transfer.
  • Residues of ARDAFLEX T2 should be removed from the tiles with damp sponge during application. 
  • Allow the mortar to set completely (at least 24 hours) before grouting.
