Nottefix 1014
Description
NOTTEFIX 1014 is a high-performance polymer-reinforced, highly flexible, extended adhesive for large-sized & granite/porcelain tiles. Usually used for facade application systems.
Usage Areas
- Indoor and outdoor use on horizontal and vertical surfaces.
- Ideal for granite and porcelain tile applications.
- Suitable for terraces, balconies, and facade tile fixing.
- Can be used in areas with continuous water exposure (water absorption ratio below 3%), such as swimming pools.
- Provides strong adhesion for large-size ceramics.
- Suitable for areas with intense pedestrian traffic, including shopping malls, schools, hospitals, and underneath systems.
Characteristics
- Extended working/application time.
- No sliding on vertical applications.
- Highly flexible and with high adhesive strength.
- Resistant to stresses and vibrations caused by freezing, thawing, and temperature differences.
- High adhesion strength.
- Provides long-term smoothing of adhered coating material.
Application Method
- Ensure that the surface to be applied is solid and clean.
- Conduct surface repairs at least 24 hours in advance and remove any materials that may hinder mortar adhesion, such as oil, paint, or powder.
- If the surface temperature is above 30°C, moisten the surface and avoid exceeding 2% of the surface moisture rate during application.
- On plaster or anhydrous surfaces, ensure that the moisture content does not exceed 0.5%.
- For absorbent surfaces like gypsum, apply NOTTEPRIME P400 as a primer.
- 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 is mixed with the mixer for 3–5 minutes until a homogeneous and lump-free mortar is obtained.
- After the material is rested for 5 minutes, it is ready to apply.
- With a suitable notched trowel (U8X8 or U10X10), NOTTEFIX 1014 is applied to the surface.
- The application is completed by leaving joints (joints should be 3 mm in 5×5 cm ceramic, 4 mm in ceramic up to 15×15 cm, 6–8 mm in ceramic over 15×15 cm).
- Ceramics should be installed within 15–20 minutes after applying NOTTEFIX 1014 mortar.
- Avoid applying the material when the ground temperature is below +5°C.
- Protect the applied material from rain, frost, and direct sunlight during the first 12 hours after application.
Consumption
| Ceramic Size | Joint | Consumption |
|---|---|---|
| >10×10 cm | 6 mm | 4–5 kg/m² |
| >15×15 cm | 8 mm | 4.5–5.5 kg/m² |
| >30×30 cm | 8 mm | 5.5–6.5 kg/m² |
| <30×30 cm | 10 mm | 5.5–7 kg/m² |
Packaging and Storage
- Packaging: 25 kg craft bag.
- Shelf Life: Shelf life when stored in its original packaging at +10°C /+30°C in dry, protected, and ventilated environments, protected from sun, rain, and frost, is 12 months from the date of manufacture.
Safety Precautions
- Gloves, protective clothing, masks/goggles should be used during mixing and application, and contact of the product with eyes, mouth, and skin should be prevented.
- In case of contact with skin, it should be washed with plenty of water, and in case of contact with eyes and swallowing, a doctor should be consulted.
