AREAS OF USE

It is used at areas such as pools and wet spaces that require water repellency and antibacterial properties, and it is also used at spaces where resistance to water, frost and temperature changes is required.

BENEFITS

It is easy to prepare and apply. It is resistant to abrasion and fading. It provides a non-cracking and smooth surface. It gives proper working time. It does not lead to drift at vertical applications. It has high adhesion properties. It does not scratch glazed surfaces. It provides perfect adhesion without cracking on ceramic edges.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Residues that will prevent adhesion on the surface should be cleaned. 20 kg of EKOKAT FUGA SIL is slowly poured into 6 - 6.5 liters of water and is then mixed with a low speed (400-600 rpm) mixer. The homogenous mortar is allowed to rest for 5 minutes and then mixed again once before application. The prepared mixture is spread on the ceramics with a rubber trowel and the joint is then filled. Excess material is removed with diagonal movements. The material is allowed to rest until it withstands finger pressure, and the entire surface is cleaned with a damp sponge to provide necessary moisture to complete the hydration. The residual joint filler remaining on the ceramic is cleaned with a damp sponge. And the joints are given the final shape.
