Tiles used : 200x200x7/8mm, 150x150x12mm, 300x300x8mm

Location of application : External application / Internal application

Materials to be used :

• Ordinary Portland Cement.
• Sand for mortar screed.
• Hiflex HF-1000 (abbreviated to HF-1000), an EVA synthetic high polymer emulsion for mortar or tile setting packed 18kg per tin can.
• Meji Cement (Tile Joint Cement), packed in a 25kg paper bag.

Application Procedure

A : Cleaning of Background

Cleaning with brush and water to remove laitance and unsound surface layer and debris.

B : Treatment of Background (Primer)

Apply HF-1000 diluted 3 times (HF-1000 : Water = 1 : 2) by brush or roller or spray.

Usage : HF-1000 ......... 0.05 Kg/M² (approximate)

C : Setting Mortar (Cement Sand Render)

C/S Render shall be applied within 3 days of applying HF-1000 primer.

Mixing Proportions

Usage : HF-1000 ............ 0.504 Kg/M² (for 15mm thick)

Note :

• Each coat of mortar for the setting bed shall not exceed 10mm in thickness. Apply an additional coat to build up required thickness after the previous coat is sufficiently cured.
• Cure each C/S rendering with water sprinkling.
• Cure each layer for 4-7 days before constructing the next layer.

D : Tile Setting Mortar (4-6mm thickness)

Mix Proportion (By Volume)

Usage : HF-1000 .................... 0.368 Kg/M² (approximate)

Usage : Cement .............. 6.000 Kg/M² (approximate)

Note :

• Moisturize and soak the surface of the setting bed with water overnight.
• Apply mortar on the back of tile and onto the well prepared wall surface in about 4-6mm thickness, and set the tile on the mortar surface at once (Known as the "Combination Method").
• Tap and press the tile surface well after tile setting to ensure the tile joint is fully occupied with mortar.

E : Grouting

Mix Proportion (By Volume)

Usage : MEJI Cement (45x95x7mm) ....... 0.6-0.7 Kg/M² (approximate)

F : Cleaning Tile Surface

After completion of tile setting and grouting. Wipe off excess mortar with sponge.

Further mortar smudge should be removed with 3% solution of industrial hydrochloric acid after washing surface with water. This shall be done after the grouting has been cured for seven days.

G : Remark

Pot life of cement mortar mixed HF-1000 is within 1 hour.
