TILE-SET MULTI-PURPOSE THIN SET MORTAR

DESCRIPTION: TILE-SET multi-purpose thin set mortar is a self curing Polymer modified Portland cement compound for the installation of all types of ceramic over concrete slabs, concrete block, brick, exterior plywood, cement plaster, dry wall, wonderboard, and scratch coats.

SURFACE PREPARATION: Surface must be free of dirt, wax, grease, scale, foreign matter, excessive moisture or hydrostatic pressure. Concrete on masonry surfaces must be dampened before application of TILE-SET thin set especially on dry, porous surfaces. Plywood installations must be dimensionally stable and consist of two sheets, each 3/8" thickness or greater. The bottom sheets should be butted, while the top sheets should be gaped 1/16" to 1/8" and the gaps filled with TILE-SET mortar prior to tile installation. Installation over plywood for residential floors and counter tops only.

LIMITATIONS: TILE-SET thin set mortar is not recommended for use over asphalt, glass, metal, plastic, vinyl covered wall board, asbestos wall board, flake board, masonite or luann grade plywood.

MIXING: Add dry mix to potable water. For best results use 1/2 bag (25 pound bag) to three quarts of water in a mortar box or 5 gallon pail. Mix using ahand tools or slow speed power mixer until mortar is smooth and creamy, and allow it to slake for ten minutes so that is becomes uniformly hydrated.

COVERAGE: Using 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/4" notched trowel, TILE-SET thin set will cover appoximately two sq. ft. per pound or 100 sq. ft. per fifty pound bag. Coverage is proportionately less with 3/8" deep notched trowel.

COLOR: Gray and white - coverage for both colors is the same.

GROUTING: Can begin after the initial set of 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature. Grouting material made by BVS is recommended.

Floors - Traffic must be off finished floors 48 to 72 hours depending on temperature.

Walls - Should be protected from hammering vibrations, poking and gouging for a period of seven days.

SPECIFICATIONS: BVS TILE-SET multi-purpose thin set mortar meets and conforms to all requirements for dry set Portland cements mortar as specified in ANSI A118.1 and all Latex Polymer Portland cement requirements as specified in ANSI A118.4.
