Nottefix 1002
Description
NOTTEFIX 1002 is a white or grey adhesive mortar used for adhesion of ceramics & tiles on concrete screed and plaster for 3-6 mm thickened application.
Usage Areas
In indoor and outdoor spaces, on horizontal & vertical surfaces.
Characteristics
- It has extended working/application time.
- It is resistant to freeze-thaw cycle.
- It has adhesion strength.
- It does not sag and does not slip.
- It can be used indoors and outdoors in wet areas such as bathroom and kitchen.
Application Method
- Ensure that the surface is solid and clean before application.
- Perform any necessary surface repairs at least 24 hours in advance, removing any materials that may hinder mortar adhesion, such as oil, paint, or powder.
- If the surface temperature exceeds 30°C, moisten it and be cautious not to exceed 2% surface moisture during application.
- The moisture content should not exceed 0.5% on plaster or anhydrous surfaces.
- 25 kg powder material is added to ~ 6.50 lt water.
- The required amount of water is placed in a clean bucket.
- The necessary powder product is added on it and it is mixed with a mixer until a homogeneous and lump-free mortar is obtained.
- After the material is rested for 5 minutes, it is ready to apply.
- With suitable notched trowel (U8X8 or U10X10), NOTTEFIX 1002 is applied on the surface.
- The application is completed by leaving joints (joints should be 3mm in 5x5cm ceramic, 4mm in ceramic up to 15x15cm, 6-8 mm in ceramic over 15x15cm).
- NOTTEFIX 1002 adhesive mortar requires a waiting time of 30-40 minutes after application.
- Before applying, perform a test by pressing the mortar with fingers. If the fingers get contaminated, the mixture can still be used as an adhesive.
- The thickness of NOTTEFIX 1002 adhesive mortar should not exceed 6 mm.
- Do not apply the material when the ground temperature is below +5°C.
- Protect the material from rain, frost, and direct sunlight within the first 12 hours after application.
- Prepare the mixture according to the working/application time.
- Allow a 24-hour gap after applying tiles before applying joints.
- Maintain a minimum joint width of 3 mm.
- Priming of plaster is necessary for absorbent surfaces.
