DW URBAN 40 is Powder based adhesive for shims (up to 15mm) with excellent workability and adaption characteristics, with zero vertical slippery. DW Urban 40 solidifies without decreasing the thickness with a low immersion. Application area: Appropriate for the ceramic tiles flooring, gress porcelain, clinker, monocotto, bicotto, and natural stone on cement based walls and floors for interior and exterior environments characterized of high humidity rate, on irregular floors ( with a shim up to 20mm). For the ceramic tiles’ flooring on balconies and terraces, for flooring of the high traffic tiles, for flooring tiles over tiles, for the flooring of tiles on fountains and pools. In order to place tiles in unstable supports it has to be reinforced with the FLEXIT additive. Elasticizing: In order to floor tiles on the unstable surfaces, as a result of shrinkage and inflation or vibrations e.g. the prefabricated concrete plates, gypsum tiles or wood surfaces, metallic surfaces etc. It is appropriate that 25 kg tiles’ adhesive DW URBAN 40 be elasticized by adding 5-6kg Flexit and the quantity of water according to the workability requirements. The support preparation :Traditional cement based supports must have a maturation time of 28 days at a temperature of 23°C and U.R.40%. The support where the product will be applied must be clean, out of foreign substances such as paints, oils, varnishes, anti adhesive materials etc. The cleaning is done manually or mechanically. The support must be sprayed with water before applying the adhesive material in such a way that it gives time to the frying period. Flooring the tiles: For a correct application of the DW Urban 40 initially apply a light layer of the adhesive with a slightly serrated comb and then apply the adhesive material with an appropriate serrated commodity for the required thickness of the layer, for the rigidity of the support and for the type of the tile that will be floored. After flooring the tile suppress it carefully in such a way that its back side be totally wetted. Special weather conditions such as strong wind, high temperatures or high water absorbing supports may significantly reduce the spreading and correction time in some minutes. In order to make this problem slight it is recommended to wet the support before applying the adhesive material. Check whether the adhesive material has formed a membrane before flooring the tile. In such a case spread again the adhesive in order to reactivate its adhesive power. Avoid totally the contact of water with the adhesive material which has formed a membrane as this may form an anti adhesive layer. In the outer walls and floors, especially in the cases when the back side of the tile is very much structured or is a clinker tile, terracotta etc. spread the adhesive material. At the same time in order to avoid the cavities at the back side of the tile, where water can penetrate or humidity may condensate, as this may cause the removal or breaking at freezing time.
