Concrete and Tile Adhesives-Tilex G5

The amount of using Tilex G5 depends on the dimension of the joints. The exact amount of this product can be calculated with respect to the dimensions of the tiles, ceramics, and joints between them via the following formula:

Length of the tile: A                          Width of the tile: B

The thickness of the joint: C            Depth of the joint: D

Dosage= (A+B)*C*D*1.8/(A*B)  Kg/m²

• Surface preparation: The desired surface must be fully cleaned from contaminations like dust, oil, and other contaminations. It is better to wet the surface beneath the work before jointing.
• Mixing: Mix the Jointing powder of G5 with an amount of water of 25% of the weight of the powder to obtain a uniform and homogenous paste. Then stop mixing for 2 to 3 minutes and remix. After mixing the Tilex G5 powder with water, the prepared product must be applied on the surface in less than 30 minutes by a chisel. The temperature of the surface while jointing must be 5 to 40˚C. Keep the surface wet for 24 hours after finishing the process.

Note:

Use the paste for horizontal joints of 3 to 12 mm. On the other hand, it is recommended to use a consistent form by adding more water to the powder to reach a better filling of the horizontal joints with less than 3 mm thickness.
