Aqua Gold is a cement-based material for fixing ceramic tiles on smooth floors, walls, and on existing tiles. It is a coarse powder. It is easy to use and very economical. Aqua has excellent bonding and waterproofing properties.
WHERE TO USE: Aqua Gold is a self-curing material and no other extra curing is required. It can be applied even at a low thickness of 2mm with excellent bonding properties, hence it provides more coverage. Aqua Gold is a grey cement-based material for fixing ceramic tiles vitrified on smooth floors, walls and on existing tiles.
The floor/wall which is to be tiled should be pre-cleaned to remove all traces of paint, coating, oil, grease or other such contaminants.
Aqua Gold powder is to be mixed with water at a volumetric ratio of 3.5:1. Take the required quantity of water in a ghamela and mix the Aqua Gold powder gradually to achieve a paste. Allow the material to stand for 5-7 minutes for the polymers to get activated. Then remix and apply the material by a notched trowel or any such suitable tool.
Generally, tile fixing is done by two methods- the buttering method, and the notched trowel method. Aqua Gold can be used for both types of applications. In the buttering method, the prepared paste is applied evenly behind the dampened tiles and then fixed on the floor/wall. In the notched trowel method, the prepared paste is applied by a notched trowel on the floor first and combed evenly. The dampened tiles should be pressed over the combed adhesive mortared floor/walls.
Aqua Gold mixed with water can be used within one hour at an ambient temperature of 30°C. However factors like temperature, humidity and wind will affect the pot life.
20kg of Aqua Gold covers approximately 30-40 sq.ft. on smooth and even surface at 3mm thickness.
For better result use within 12 months from the date of manufacturing.
Keep the material in a cool, dry place since it is a cement-based material.
Aqua Gold should not be exposed to direct atmospheric conditions. A partially used bag should be stored in air tight condition. It is recommended for the regular tile size 2'x2' only.
