MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Gradually empty 5 Kg of EZEE TILE BASECOAT® into 2.5 Lt of EZEE TILE KEYCOAT®.
2. Mix to a creamy slurry consistency. The use of an electric drill and paddle is recommended to ensure thorough mixing.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

*This guideline only serves as a basic manual for the surface preparation, product selection and installation procedure for this type of
application. Each installation needs to be assessed on merits and the products used and the procedures followed should be in accordance with the SABS code for the design and installation of ceramic tiles (SABS 10107:2011).

1. Ensure that surfaces to be treated are sound (no cracks or crumbling), clean, free of dust, release agent, fungi, or any surface dampness. Fungi must be removed and the spores killed with the use of an effective fungicide. (a dilution of household bleach is sufficient)
2. New walls and floors must be allowed to cure for minimum periods as listed below to ensure that movement due to shrinkage does not affect the installation

• Direct bedding onto new brick walls and concrete surfaces: 6 weeks
• New plaster walls: 2 weeks
• New screeded floors: 4 weeks

3. Very smooth surfaces such as steel trowelled and off-shutter concrete must be acid washed to remove laitance and then rinsed thoroughly with cold water.
4. Painted surfaces, gypsum plasters and surfaces that have old bitumen adhesive on them must be chipped in order to expose at least 80% of the substrate.

APPLICATION

1. Liberally apply the slurry to the substrate and spread with a builders block brush.
2. Ensure that the coating is uniform, consistent and at least 2mm thick.
3. A second coat may be required to cover any gaps in the coating.
4. Allow the coating to completely dry between coats and prior to the installation of tiles. As a guide, a 5 kg bag of EZEE TILE BASECOAT® will cover approximately 6 m² when applied to a relatively even surface.

PRECAUTIONS

1. Ensure that the above instructions are adhered to at all times and do not adulterate the product in any way as this could result in failure.
2. Rubber gloves should be used when applying EZEE TILE BASECOAT® ®. In the event of irritation, rinse skin under cold water. Consult a doctor if irritation persists.
3. Keep EZEE TILE BASECOAT® ® away from pets and children.
4. Do not ingest and do not empty surplus down drains.
