Epoxy Tile Adhesive

TILE ADHESIVE EP is a high performance, three-component, solvent-free epoxy mortar used for fixing and bedding of various tiles and ceramics over concrete and steel surfaces. It is a heavy duty adhesive with a high bonding strength, excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkali and solvents.

TILE ADHESIVE EP is an ideal material to bed and fix tiles in a single operation with one material. It is used wherever a chemical resistance and excellent mechanical properties are required.
Typical applications include the following:

• To fix a minor marble indoor and outdoor.
• Industrial kitchens and catering facilities.
• Electrical substations and plant rooms.
• Hospitals and Laboratories.
• Swimming pools and leisure facilities.
• Heavy duty workshops and garages.
• Bottling plants and breweries.
• Applicable as a tile grout.

• High bonding strength.
• Easy-on application.
• High ultimate compressive strength.
• Excellent chemical resistance.
• Waterproofing.
• Primerless.
• Non-toxic; can be used in most areas where drink and food are processed.
• Excellent adhesion to most commonly encountered building substrates and materials.
• Suitable for vertical and horizontal applications in interior and exterior locations.
• Available in grey and white colors.
• No VOC.

The surface should be dry (moisture < 5%) and dust should be removed by
industrial vacuum.
In order to repair damaged area, cracks and honeycombs, laitance, dust and
contaminants should be removed.
Prior to application, TILE ADHESIVE EP system should be stored under cover and protected from extremes of temperatures which may cause inconsistent workability and cure times for the mixed material. Ideally, at least 24 hours before mixing, TILE ADHESIVE EP system should be maintained at approximately 25°C. During application in cold conditions, correct conditioning can help, but application should be halted if the
ambient temperature is likely to fall below 10°C.
Pot life of the mixed material will be affected by ambient temperature.

Base and hardener should be mixed together (mix ratio 2:1 by volume) in a suitable container until uniform color is obtained.
Use a heavy duty slow speed power drill with a jiffy mixing blade then add gradually the filler and confirm using steel spatula to remove the holding material.

Apply TILE ADHESIVE EP mixture on the bed and above the existing surface and spread by using steel comber trowel. Average thickness 2 – 3 mm.
CURING:
Good curing is essential for resin based materials to ensure specified performance. Installation using TILE ADHESIVE EP systems can be opened to foot traffic after approximately 24 hours at 25 °C. Complete cure is achieved after 72 hours at 25 °C.
PACKING
13 kg pack including (base, hardener and filler).
COVERAGE
3 – 4 m2/ Pack
CLEANING
Tools and equipments should be cleaned immediately using THINNERCOAT 10 organic solvent.
FLAMMABILITY:
BONDACOAT EP is a nonflammable material while THINNERCOAT 10 is flammable. Do not expose to naked flames during application.
SHELF LIFE
12 months in a tightly closed container.
