USE

CHARACTERISTICS

PACKAGE

For bonding ceramic tiles with a maximum dimension of 120x80, mosaics, marble, granite, natural, and artificial stone to wall, floor, and facade surfaces, exclusively on solid substrates (concrete, cement, and lime mortars), for exterior and interior use. It offers excellent adhesion, high strength, flexibility, and moisture resistance. Suitable for bonding low absorbent tiles (E ≤ 3%) and large-size tiles (up to 80 cm) when installed on surfaces with existing tiles. Recommended for use in bathrooms, kitchens, pools, and underfloor heating systems.

Preparation and application :

The substrate on which the adhesive is applied must be solid, clean, wearable, freeze-dried, free from staining, and free of oil or paint residue. Before bonding the tiles, it is advisable to coat the BK-Ultra Prime substrate to improve the adhesion of the adhesive. For optimal results when bonding tiles on low-absorbent surfaces as well as bonding tile to tile, use in combination with the BK-Bond primer. Preparation is carried out by adding the 25 kg powder to about 6.5 l of water with vigorous stirring until complete homogenization. Allow the mass to stand for about 10 minutes, then stir again to obtain a suitable density adhesive. Apply the adhesive with a serrated trowel of a suitable tooth size so that at least 65% of the surface of the tile is covered with adhesive (for internal use) and a minimum of 90% (for external use). The size of the teeth depends on the size of the tiles (4-6 mm is optimal for tiles sized 10-25 cm). Insert the tiles into the adhesive layer on the substrate, and if the surface is uneven, apply the adhesive to the back of the tile as well to achieve leveling. Highly absorbent, porous tiles should be moistened before installation. Remove excess adhesive with a damp sponge and mechanically seal the hardened parts. Remove excess adhesive in joints mechanically. See the product datasheet for more detailed instructions.
