Vetoset CA540 supplied in 20kg Bag Yield: 18 Liters
Stated consumptions data are for general guidance. Actual consumption depends on the nature of the substrate, method of application, and wastages extra.
An original sealed bag of Vetoset CA540 has a shelf life of 12 months provided it is stored clear of ground in a dry shaded place below 35ºC.
Mixing
For the preparation of mortar adhesive, pour into a container 4.6-6.6 liters of water for each 20Kg bag of Vetoset CA540.
Add the powder to the water and mix for 3-4 minutes using a low- speed electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle, until achieving a uniform, lump-free consistency. Allow the mixed material to stand for about 10 minutes and remix briefly without adding further water.
Application
Apply the mixed mortar adhesive in a thin layer and firmly press it onto the surface that will be tiled, work with the flat edge of the trowel. Comb the adhesive with a suitable notched trowel horizontally to achieve a bed thickness of 2 - 5 mm. Spread the mortar adhesive to a manageable area that can be tiled within 10-15 minutes. Press the tiles firmly over the mortar adhesive and immediately knock into the desired position. Adjust the position of the tiles, if required, within its adjustability time of 10-15 minutes after installation.
Use the back buttering method for large tile format applications. Apply and comb the adhesive on the surface to be tiled. Also, add the adhesive to the backside of the tile with/without combing.
Allow the installed tiles to remain undisturbed for at least 24 hours.
Mortar adhesive must not rise between the tile joints higher than halfway the thickness of the tiles. It is recommended to use Vetofill CG550 to fill the joint gaps after 2 days of tile installation.
If more deformability is required to reach S2 specifications, the mixing water is either completely replaced or partially replaced by 2.5 liters of Vetobond AB432 depends on the flexibility needed.
Cleaning
Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Remove the hardened material using mechanical means.
The substrate should be sound, clean, free from loose material, grease, laitance, dirt, curing compound, or any other substance that might impair the quality of bond with the substrate.
Concrete, hollow blocks, and cement-based substrates must be sufficiently cured and irrigated by water 1hour prior to application. The surface should appear damp with no water pooling.
Gypsum boards, plasterboards, anhydrite screeds, must be sufficiently dry and free from dust.
Vetoset CA540 is highly alkaline therefore avoid direct contact with eyes or skin. It is recommended to use protective gloves and goggles during application. Any skin contact should be washed with soap and water. In case of eye irritation, immediately wash with a copious amount of clean cold water. Seek medical advice.
Vetoset CA540 is non-flammable.
