Note : 

1. This is an average calculation. Actual usage may differ from the estimate. Due to the different surface conditions. Surface absorption and the purpose of the individual's use.

2. For tile sizes larger than 40x40 cm, apply tile adhesive on the surface and a very thin layer on the back of the tile.
Application steps

MIXING

  • Mix SikaTile®-370 XL Multi Purpose

    - 20 kg with 4.8 - 5.2 Litres of clean water

    - 25 kg with 6.0 - 6.5 Litres of clean water

    with an electrical mixer until the compound is

    evenly distributed.

  • Allow the mixture to stand for 2 - 3 minutes for a good reaction and reduce air bubbles before using the adhesive. 

APPLICATION

  • Spread tile adhesive by using a notched trowel onto the substrate.
  • Fix tile on tile adhesive and knock it over with a

    rubber hammer.

  • Dual bonding should be applied when the tile size

    exceeds 25 cm x 25 cm. Apply a thin layer of tile

    adhesive onto the back of the tile, then fix the tile

    onto the adhesive substrate.

  • Once the tiles have been laid, leave them to stand for 24 hours or until the tile adhesive is dry before grouting with SikaTile Tile Grout.
