Adimar porcelain tile has ideal characteristics for the installation of porcelain stoneware and low-absorption tiles, in coverings, interior and exterior floors, on traditional mortar render substrates, concrete, large format bricks, plaster and plasterboard, waterproofed substrates, etc. Suitable for applications in which the product is subjected to permanent humidity and frost, even in those uses in which it is permanently submerged, for example swimming pools. Suitable for heavy traffic.

• Preparation of the substrate: the substrate on which the application is to be carried out must be resistant, dry, level, free of dust and free of any traces of release agent.
• Preparation of the mixture: add 7-7.5 l of water per bag and mix manually or mechanically with a low speed electric mixer to eliminate any possible presence of lumps in the paste, allow the mixture to stand for 5 min. and carry out a brief re-mixing.
• Application of the paste: apply the product on the substrate using a toothed flame, to regularize the thickness, in a maximum extension of 2 m2, applying sufficient pressure so that the minimum contact with the cement is 80%. Lay the tiles, pressing them until the grooves are flattened and the tiles are correctly set with the help of a rubber mallet. It is necessary to verify, with the fingertips, periodically that the adhesive has not formed a film on its surface, if this happens the product must be combed again taking into account that we are still in the margin of the open time of this (if the temporary strip since its application has exceeded the above mentioned open time the adhesive must be removed and reapplied).

• On very absorbent substrates it is advisable to wet it and wait until it is dry.
• Maximum recommended thickness: 10 mm.
• In applications on ceramic pavement it is recommended to eliminate the badly adhered pieces, to make a superficial sanding and a double gluing.
• Always double glue for pieces of great format (> 1200cm2) or high weight and on supports with radiant heating, which must be turned off 24h before the application.
• On deformable substrates (plasterboard), check the rigidity of the partition and that the residual humidity is < 3%. If the support is weak, apply a surface hardening treatment by means of a primer.
• Do not apply on dead plaster that has received a thin layer of final plaster.
• Cold rooms must remain turned off until the adhesive curing is completed, a minimum of 7 days depending on the environmental conditions.
• In case of use in swimming pools, the pool can be refilled 7 days after application.
• For facades use Adimar flexible or Adimar superflex.
