KERAKOLL - Biotile

Product Description

• Features and Advantages:
  • Walls and floors
  • Adjustable
  • No sag
  • Prolonged workability
  • Very low VOC

  Preparation of the surface:

  • All surfaces must be dimensionally stable according to IS 1443-1972, level, cured, undamaged, compact, rigid, resistant, dry and free from any debonding agents and from damp rising. It is good practice to dampen highly absorbent concrete surfaces or apply a coat of Primer A Eco.

  
  Adhesive Preparation:

  • Biocem is mixed using water and inert materials until a semi-dry consistency is obtained. Use Kerakoll Quartzo to obtain certified screeds or use inert materials of assorted grain size from 0 to 8 mm, cleaned from dust and earth residues, to create screeds with thicknesses between 20 and 80 mm. The percentage of mixing water varies depending on the humidity content in the inert material

  
  Application:

  • To guarantee maximum adhesion it is necessary to apply a sufficient layer of adhesive. Large, rectangular sizes with sides > 30 cm may require adhesive to be applied directly to the back surface of the tile. Check samples to make sure the adhesive has been transferred to the back of the material. Create elastic expansion joints:
  • – ≈ 10 m2 in external applications,
  • – ≈ 25 m2 in internal applications,
  • – ≈ every 8 meters in long, narrow applications. Respect all structural, fractionizing, and perimeter joints present in the surfaces.

   

  Material and special surfaces:

  • Marble, Natural Stones and Recomposed Materials that are subject to deformation or staining due to water absorption require a reactive adhesive. Marble, natural stones, and recomposed materials, in general, may have characteristics that vary even with reference to materials of the same chemical and physical nature. For this reason, it is essential you consult Kerakoll India Helpline to request specific indications or to carry out a test on a sample of the material. Check for the presence of any real consistent traces of rock dust created during cutting, and remove them if found.
