Weather and Thermal Resistance
Technomax 30 performs reliably under:
-
Freeze-thaw cycles
-
Temperature fluctuations
-
Thermal shock conditions
-
Exterior environmental exposure
Application Instructions
1. Surface Preparation
Before application, the substrate should be:
-
Clean
-
Dry
-
Structurally sound
-
Free from dust, oil, paint, and loose particles
Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving maximum adhesion performance.
2. Mixing
Gradually add the powder component to the liquid component while mixing with a low-speed electric mixer until a smooth and homogeneous consistency is achieved.
Important: Do not add additional water to the mixture.
3. Application
Apply the adhesive using a suitable notched trowel.
Tiles or stone coverings should be installed within the specified open time to ensure optimal bonding performance.
Grouting should not be carried out until at least 24 hours after tile installation.
4. Cleaning
Tools and hands should be cleaned with water immediately after application. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically.
