Usage

3230 superrapidfix is based on white low-alcaline cement which is easy to prepare and distribute on surface. It is an allround tile adhesive which meets requirements from a wide range of tasks irrespective of substrate and type of tile.

3230 superrapidfix is recommended for tasks requiring short setting time.

Product description

Rapid curing, cement based, frostproof, waterproof, plastic reinforced, white tile adhesive powder.

Application areas

For mounting of all types of ceramic tiles, clinkers, and natural stones, outdoors and indoors, on floor and wall, in both wet and dry areas. Due to its rapid curing and crystaline water binding, mira 3230 superrapidfix is specially well suited for heated floors and for thin, translucent tiles, glass mosaic, light marble and similar tiles.

Types of substrate

Floors and walls with moderate tension/deformation as rendered/plastered bricks, block walls, gypsum plaster/ mortar, concrete elements and light concrete elements with moderate shrinkage, movements and deformation.

Pre-treatment of substrate

Ensure substrate is load-bearing, stable, and coherent, cleaned for dust, grease and cement laitance. The substrate must be so dry that 4180 primer can be absorbed in the surface.

Prior to installation on existing tiling and painted surfaces ensure that tiles or paint adhere to surface. Clean surface for grease etc. with 7110 base cleaner.

Absorbent substrates shall be primed with 4180 primer and in wet rooms water tightened is required in accordance with rules laid down in mira`s installation instructions for wet rooms.

Application

Mix 15 kg powder with 3.90-4.50 l clean water to a lump free mortar and the mix is then ready for use. Use a mixing paddle for mixing. Powder, water and substrate shall be within the recommended working temperature.

The adhesive can be applied within approx. 30 min. after mixing. Ensure tiles are fixed quickly to avoid formation of skin on adhesive surface.

3230 superrapidfix shall be spread on the substrate with a notched trowel. First spread the adhesive with the smooth side and then draw the notched side through the mortar. Follow the recommendation for correct choice of tooth size for tile type and substrate. The tiles are pressed/twisted in place in the wet adhesive. Ensure frequently that the backside of the tile is fully covered.

Areas above 36m² and areas of a length above 8 m shall normally be divided in areas with expansion joints across the construction.

Dependent on absorbing capacity of tiles and room temperature, tiling is ready to be grouted after approx. 1-2 hours.

Working environment

3230 superrapidfix is based on white alcali cement which does not contain chrome (VI) .
