Mix UDK TG Super Ts.1.ZK4 DSTU B V.2.7‐126:2011
UDK TG Super tile adhesive mix is designed for interior and exterior cladding of solid mineral substrates (heavy concrete, aerated concrete, brick, plaster, etc.) with all types of natural and artificial materials on a mineral base (decorative stone, sandstone, granite, glass, concrete tiles, etc.). The adhesive mix is designed for cladding with large-format tiles up to 800×800 mm, with water absorption below 1%. Thanks to its high water resistance and frost resistance, the adhesive is effective on substrates subject to periodic deformation associated with moisture and expansion (indoor pools and reservoirs, showers, balconies, terraces, heated floors, etc.). UDK TG Super adhesive is recommended for cladding over old ceramic tiles using the “tile on tile” method, except for cladding over glazed surfaces. Particularly recommended for cladding stairs and staircase flights, as well as sloped floor surfaces.
UDK TG Super adhesive mix is made on a cement base with special mineral aggregates, reinforcing fiber, and polymer additives.
Substrate preparation is carried out in accordance with DSTU‐N B A.3.1‐23:2013 and DSTU‐N B V.2.6‐212:2016. The substrate surface must be dry, solid, even, with low and uniform water absorption. Before applying the dry mix, the surface must be cleaned of dust, oil stains, and other substances that reduce adhesion. Aerated concrete surfaces, as well as gypsum and smooth concrete surfaces, must be treated with primer. Primed surfaces must be allowed to cure for at least 4 hours before cladding begins.
Preparation of the mortar mix: pour water (water temperature from +15°C to +25°C) into a clean container at a rate of 0.24–0.26 L per 1 kg of dry mix (6.0–6.5 L per 25 kg), gradually add the dry mix and stir with a low-speed mixer until a homogeneous lump-free consistency is achieved. Allow the mortar mix to stand for approximately 5 minutes, then mix again.
Apply the mortar mix in a thin layer to the prepared substrate using a metal spatula or float and spread with a notched trowel. Apply only as much mortar at a time as can be used within 15 minutes. Do not pre-soak the tiles. After applying the mortar, press the tile firmly against the substrate. Tile positioning can be adjusted for approximately 10 minutes after bonding. The maximum thickness of the freshly applied mortar mix under the tile must not exceed 10 mm. The minimum layer thickness must be at least 2 mm. For convenience, joint width between tiles is set using tile spacer crosses. When carrying out cladding work with porcelain stoneware tiles, the mortar mix must also be applied to the tile itself in a uniform layer of up to 1 mm, fully covering its back surface. Mortar mix residues must be thoroughly removed before hardening using a damp sponge. Grouting must not begin earlier than 24 hours after tile installation. All applicable standards and regulatory documentation must also be observed during work.
On substrates with expansion joints, these must be additionally duplicated in the cladding, with subsequent filling using elastic sealants. When carrying out exterior work for fixing tiles, the combined method is used: the mortar mix is applied to the surface in a layer whose thickness corresponds to the trowel tooth size, and to the tile in a layer of up to 1 mm, uniformly across the entire surface.
Use of the dry mix is recommended at temperatures between +5°C and +30°C and relative air humidity not exceeding 65%. Eye and skin protection must be worn during application. If the mix gets into eyes, immediately rinse with water and consult a doctor.
