Mixing Instructions
Pour 5.75 – 6.0 litres of water into a clean container. Slowly add 25 kg of QUICSEAL 601 and mix with a slow speed mechanical mixer until homogenous and lump free paste is obtained. Allow the mix to stand for 5 minutes and re-stir before use.
Application
To achieve good adhesion, firstly apply a thin coat of QUICSEAL 601 adhesive firmly onto the substrate using the straight edge of the trowel followed immediately with the appropriate amount of adhesive with the notch side to achieve the required thickness. The correct notched trowel size to use will depend on the type and size of the tiles.
For large sized tiles and tiles with lugs and grooves, apply a coat of QUICSEAL 601 adhesive to the back of the tiles to ensure sufficient coverage when laid.
Lay the tiles onto the adhesive and ensure that a firm pressure is applied to achieve good contact with the adhesive.
Unfavourable climatic conditions such as strong sunlight, wind and high temperature, etc. and very porous substrates may reduce the open time of the adhesive. Hence, careful checks have to be made to ensure that skinning does not occur on the surface of the adhesive before laying the tiles. If a skinning has occurred, rework the adhesive before laying the tiles.
The tiles must be adjusted within 15 minutes after laying and must be protected from rain or strong sun for at least 24 hours.
For thin bed installations
Tile joints can be grouted usually 6 to 8 hours after laying the tiles
For thick bed installations
Tile joints can be grouted approximately 24 hours after laying the tiles, depending on the absorbency.
Coverage
Approximate 1.6kg per m2 per 1mm thick
The coverage is determined by the condition of the substrate.
Packing
QUICEAL 601 is supplied in 25 kg bags.
