Specifications subject to change without notification. Results shown are typical but reflect test procedures used. Actual field performance will depend on installation methods and site conditions.
Surface Preparation:
All surfaces should be between 40° F(4°C) and 104° F(40°C) and structurally sound, clean and free of all dirt, oil, grease, loose peeling paint, laitance, concrete sealers or curing compounds.
Check the surface to be true to plumb. All slabs must be plumb and true to within ¼”(6mm) in 10 ft(3m). Rough or uneven concrete surfaces should be made smooth.
Dry, dusty concrete slabs or masonry should be dampened and excess water swept off. Installation may be made on a damp surface. New concrete slabs shall be damp cured and 28* days old before application. *No minimum cure time for concrete slabs when thin-set mortar is mixed with latex additive.
Expansion joints shall be provided through the tile work from all construction or expansion joints in the substrate. Do not cover expansion joints with adhesive mortar. Follow ANSI Specification AN-3.8 “Requirements for
Mixing:
Place clean, potable water into a clean mixing bowl. Add UNITED-33 powder into the mixing bowl. Use approximately
Grey - 5.5 - 6L of water for 20 kg of powder
White- 6.0-6.5 L of water for 20 kg of powder.
Mix by hand or with a slow speed mixer to a smooth, trowelable consistency. Allow adhesive to slake for 5-10 minutes. Adjust consistency if necessary. Remix and apply with the proper sized notched trowel.
