AK 511

Substrate type
Properly seasoned and treated cement and cement-lime plasters, concrete substrates and cement floors. Walls made of ceramic and silicate bricks and blocks as well as of cellular concrete block, and gypsum boards. Waterproofing coat made of ALPOL AH 751 membrane and ALPOL AH 752, ALPOL AH 753 mortars.

Substrate preparation
Substrate should be clean, stable and sound. New plaster work and concrete should be set and seasoned. Remove loose, peeling and old material of poor adhesion. Any chipped areas should be patched with ALPOL AZ 130 quick setting mortar or ALPOL AZ 135 levelling mortar. Treat the loose substrate with ALPOL AG 700 and ALPOL AG 703 deep penetrating primer to reduce absorption, if necessary.

Instructions for use
Stir the bag contents manually or mechanically with specified amount of clean and cold water to bring the mixture to homogenous and required consistency. Allow 5 minutes and stir the prepared mix again. Apply the adhesive mix with a float or a putty knife and spread it with a notched trowel of appropriate notch size. When fixing on critical substrate and those exposed to water penetration, apply the adhesive also on tile bottom. Do not soak the tiles before fixing. Apply tiles and press them against the substrate. Position adjustment can be made within 10 minutes from fixing. Fix the tiles within max. 30 minutes from spreading adhesive on the substrate. There is no need to use tile spacers as the adhesive does not flow down (no slip). Use the adhesive within 3 hours from mixing with water. If the adhesive thickens in that period of time, stir it again without adding water. Adding too much water impairs all adhesive characteristics, such as adhesion and slip. Unused hardening slurry cannot be mixed with water again. Throw it away.

Tools
Mixer or low-speed electric drill, basket mixer, notched trowel, putty knife.

Working conditions
Work in ambient temperatures between +5°C and +30°C. Do not add any other agents to the adhesive. Protect freshly applied adhesive from excessive drying and moisture.

Storage
Store in original, unopened packages in dry place – shelf life 12 months from production date. Protect from moisture during transport and storage.

Notes
