Description
EGB Pozzolanic Mortar Adhesive is a cementious mortar adhesive composed of EGB Pozzolanic cement, artificial light weight sand and special additives. It is supplied as a dry powder in pre weight bags ready to use on site, which requires only addition of clean water to produce easily workable mortar. It is ideal for fixing of ceramic tiles, terrazzo tiles, marble, decorative stone, mosaics, Granites and quarry tiles.
Application
EGB Pozzolanic Mortar Adhesive is suitable for background with Portlandland cement based renders, floor screed and concrete. It should not be applied onto wood , mortar sheets or painted surfaces. The background and tiles must be clean, free of dust deposits, sinter skin, formwork oil and other contamination which may affected adhesion. To achieve a uniform thickness, the mortar is leveled with a serrated trowel. The thickness of the adhesive will depend upon the size and type of tile. Do not spread more than 1m2 at a time. Spreading large areas may result in the mortar drying before tiles can be pressed home, causing poor adhesion.
Joint
Ceramic tiles should not be fixed with tight joints. Leave a minimum space of 2mm around every tile. For normal use, the joints should be filled with cementious grout. Where protection from oil and chemical are required, the joints should be filled with suitable epoxy grout.
