Product Info
Vibrant TILEFIX-V1 is a polymer-modified cement-based high-performance, high-strength, and high-quality tile adhesive developed to fix vitrified tiles. Suitable for both internal and external thin bed applications.
Specification
Technical parameters comply with IS 15477:2019.
Features & Benefits
- Single component, no hassles of mixing ingredients
- Excellent bond strength
- No shrinkage
- Economical
- Nil wastages
- Easy to spread
- No curing required
- High slip resistance
- Consistent in quality
Areas of Application
Vibrant TILEFIX-V1 is recommended for fixing ceramic tiles. It is also recommended for tile-on-tile, tile-on-mosaic, tile-on-cement floors. Suitable for wall and floor applications.
Method of Application
Surface Preparation
- Prepare the surfaces before the tile adhesive application by removing oil, bond-inhibiting agents, dirt, dust, and laitance. Cleaning can be carried out with suitable methods like brushing or washing.
Mixing
- Vibrant Tilefixo-v1 Requires 23% Of Water By Weight Of Material.
- Mix Vibrant Tilefixo-v1 To The Measures Quantity Of Water Using Mechanical Stirring For 2-3 Minutes To Ensure A Consistency Free Of Lumps
- Allow To Stand For 2 Minutes For The Mix To Mature And Then Remix To Use
- Do Not Add Any Extra Water To Alter The Mix Consistency Or To Extend The Pot Life. Further Water
- Additions Will Hamper The Adhesion Strength Of The Tile Adhesive
Application
- Apply the mixed adhesive to the prepared surface using a trowel or notch. Ensure proper spreading for strong bonding and a uniform thickness of 3 mm or more, depending on the tile.
