Bond it Rapid Set Tile Adhesive Rapid Floor Cement Bag Grey 20kg

Description:
A grey, cement based ceramic floor and wall tile adhesive. Conforms to EN 12004 Type C1F

Uses
Bond It RAPID-SET is a specially formulated, fast setting thick or
thin bed adhesive for bonding ceramic tiles and mosaics to walls
and floors. Because of the fast acting properties, tiles and mosaics
can be grouted and suitable for use in approximately 2 hours after
fixing (at normal temperatures).
RAPID-SET will bond to concrete, sand/cement screeds, building
blocks and brickwork. When used in conjunction with Bond It
PRIMER AND FLEXIBLE ADMIXTURE it can be used to
bond to wooden surfaces, glazed surfaces or used
with underfloor heating. Alternatively, use a Bond It
flexible tile adhesive.
RAPID-SET is suitable for interior use including
locations which are subject to regular wetting, eg.
domestic showers and bathrooms.
Note: this product is NOT suitable for use in areas subject to
permanent water immersion.

Preparation
The substrate must be clean, structurally sound and free from
dust, oil, grease and any other contamination that may prevent
adhesion.
w Concrete: Ensure that these are dry and cured through. Freshly
laid concrete can take up to 3 months to fully cure. Do not apply
tiles until it is fully cured.
w Painted Surfaces: Any loose or water sensitive paint should be
removed. Any subsequent bonds to a painted surface are only as
strong as the paint film.
w Rough and Uneven Surfaces: These should be levelled with a
suitable levelling compound and allowed to dry before tiling.
w Other Surfaces: RAPID-SET can be used on wooden floors,
glazed surfaces and gloss/eggshell painted surfaces but must be
used in conjunction with Bond It PRIMER AND FLEXIBLE
ADMIXTURE. Existing timber floors should be overboarded with
15mm exterior grade plywood rigidly fixed by screws at 300mm
centres. Non porous surfaces, such as existing tiles or gloss
/eggshell painted surfaces, should be primed with Bond It PRIMER
AND FLEXIBLE ADMIXTURE.
w Underfloor Heating: RAPID-SET is suitable for use with
underfloor heating but must be used in conjunction with Bond It
PRIMER AND FLEXIBLE ADMIXTURE. Turn off heating 48 hours
before tiling and turn on 48 hours after completion. From a low
setting gradually increase the temperature by 5oC per day.
w Anhydrite/calcium sulphate screeds: should be sanded and
vacuumed before priming with 2 coats of Bond It PRIMER AND
FLEXIBLE ADMIXTURE and left to dry for 24 hours prior to
application

Mixing
A 20Kg bag of RAPID-SET should be mixed with 4 Litres of clean
water using a mechanical stirrer. Mix to form a soft, lump free
consistency. Do not mix more adhesive than can be used in a 15
minute period. In hot weather the pot life will be reduced. Never
add more water to a mixture that has begun to set. When using
PRIMER AND FLEXIBLE ADMIXTURE, refer to separate dilution
rates on the pack.

Application
Taking account of surface irregularities, use a suitable sized
notched trowel that will give 100% coverage of adhesive to the
back of the tile. Press and twist the tiles into place ensuring a
minimum bed thickness of 3mm. For deep studded tiles, large
format tiles or for wet areas, it will be necessary to butter the
back of the tile with adhesive to improve adhesion. Remove and
inspect the back of a tile occasionally to ensure adequate bedding
is being achieved. Expansion joints must be provided according to
the relevant part of BS5385. ‘Dot and Dab' is not a recommended

Method of application.
Final set will occur after approximately 2 hours depending on
temperature. Clean off surplus adhesive with a damp cloth before
it sets. It is important that the tiles are left undisturbed for a
minimum of 2 hours after fixing at normal temperatures. Do not
use at temperatures below 5oC or in conditions of extreme heat.

Grouting
Grouting may commence after tiles are sufficiently firm to accept
light foot traffic - approximately 2-3 hours after fixing.

Cleaning
Tools should be washed with water immediately after use.

Container Size
20Kg paper sacks.

Coverage
This will vary according to the condition of the substrate. A 20Kg bag will cover
approximately 6-7m2 with a 3mm bed thickness.
