Nitotile GTA
Granite and Marble Tiles AdhesiveUsesNitotile GTA is a single part high quality polymer based adhesivefor the permanent fi xing of granite granite,marble &stone tilesAdvantages Prepacked product requiring only direct mixing water atsite High adhesive bond strength - Ideal for vertical andhorizontal applications of granite, marble, etc Excellent grab during open time Smooth easy to mix and spread Can be used in the interior and exterior of buildingsStandard Compliance:IS 15477-2019 TYPE 3PropertiesMixed Density 1.50 to 1.90 gm/ccW/P ratio 0.26 to 0.30Bed Thickness Upto 6mm (can be extendedup to 12 mm thickness inarea of limited extent)Pot Life >120 MinsOpen Time >20 MinsTensile Adhesion StrengthDry ConditionWet Condition1.5 MPa1.0 MPaShear Adhesion Strength:Dry ConditionWet ConditionHeat Aging Condition1.5 MPa1.0 MPa1.0 MPaAdjustability >15 minsSlip < 0.5mm in verticalapplicationNote: The typical physical properties given above are derivedfrom testing in a controlled laboratory environment .

Application instructionsSurface preparationAll surfaces must be sound and thoroughly cleaned beforeNitotile GTA is applied. All traces of grease and oil must beremoved. All loose particles of mortar, wallpaper, paint etc.,must be physically removed. The prepared surface must bewetted with water, prior to application of Nitotile GTA and mustattain a saturated surface dry condition.Nitotile GTA can be applied directly on concrete, cementscreeds, cement or lime mortars, provided they are strong.Make sure the substrate is fl at and in sound conditions toachieve uniform thickness & coverage.Saturate the surface thoroughly and remove excess waterbefore the application of Nitotile GTAFor porous substrates, it is recommended to use suitableprimer.MixingNitotile GTA should be mixed with clear potable water in thewater powder ratio of 0.26 to 0.30. A slow speed drill fi tted with amixing paddle is recommended for mixing. Add powder to waterand mix until a uniform, lump-free consistency is achieved. Thetotal quantity of water may be slightly adjusted to achieve therequired consistency.Pack Size (Kg) Water required (Litres)20 5.6 to 640 11.2 to 12ApplicationMake sure that required amount of adhesive shall be mixed& used within the specifi ed pot life. Spread not more than thearea which can be tiled within theopen time of the adhesive.2. Using a notch trowel, uniformly comb the tile adhesive torequired thickness.3. Firmly fi x the tiles into position with a slight twisting action,ensuring good contact without leaving any voids behind tiles.4. Tiles should be fi xed within specifi ed open time of adhesive,depending on the porosity of the substrate and atmosphericconditions. Adhesive ribs can be checked periodically and if askin has formed, remove the adhesive and apply a new layer.5. Spacers & corner beads of required dimensions shall beused to maintain adequate joints between individual tiles onhorizontal or vertical areas.
