constructive solutions
Epoxy tile adhesive and grout
Uses
Instructions for use
As a chemical resistant adhesive and grout for bonding
quarry and ceramic tiles to concrete or steel. Also suitable
as a multi-purpose adhesive for bedding and repairs.
Preparation
Easy to clean up during application - can be washed
off with water
All surfaces should be clean and free from dust, loose
particles and grease. Oil and grease contaminated
concrete surfaces should be treated with proprietary
chemical degreaser and then washed well with clean
water. Steel surfaces should be grit blasted to SA 21/2 and
the adhesive applied within 3 hours of blasting.
Long working life
Mixing
Waterproof
Good adhesion to steel, concrete and tiles
The base and hardener components should be individually
stirred to re-disperse any settlement. The base and
hardener should then be mixed together until a uniform
grey paste is obtained. The filler should then be
incorporated using a slow speed drill and paddle.
Description
Application
Nitotile 489 is a three component solvent free epoxy resin
based adhesive consisting of a white base, a black
hardener and specially selected filler. The components are
mixed together to give a smooth non-slump paste
adhesive and grout.
The mixed adhesive should be spread over the surface
using a serrated trowel or comb. Tiles should be placed
within the open time of the adhesive.
Standards Compliance
The tile adhesive can be removed from tiles, tools and
mixing equipment before initial set using a damp rag. After
initial set the use of Fosroc solvent 102* and / or
mechanical removal will be necessary.
Easy to apply
High resistance to a wide range of industrial chemicals
Cleaning
Nitotile 489 meets the requirements of ANSI specification
A118.3 E5.5.
Limitations
Properties
Application should not commence if the temperature is
below 5C or if the substrate is affected with either frost or
ice. Nitotile 489 should not be applied to damp or wet
surfaces nor should it be exposed to moving water during
application. If any doubts arise concerning substrate or
temperature consult your local Fosroc office.
