FAQ
What is Trufix 110?
Trufix 110 is a high-quality, single-component, cementitious tile adhesive designed for fixing ceramic, vitrified, and natural stone tiles on interior floor substrates. It provides good bonding strength, slip resistance, and workability.
What are the key features of Trufix 110?
Trufix 110 is a water-resistant, polymer-modified cement tile adhesive with excellent adhesion to various substrates, minimal shrinkage, and good open time. It is easy to mix and apply, and suitable for use with a wide range of tile types and sizes.
What are the advantages of using a cement tile adhesive like Trufix 110 for floor tiling?
Cement tile adhesives like Trufix 110 offer good bonding strength, compatibility with cementitious substrates, and economy compared to other types of adhesives. They are ideal for fixing tiles on stable, dry floor substrates in interior residential or light commercial applications.
What substrates can Trufix 110 be used on?
Trufix 110 is suitable for use on stable, dry, and absorbent floor substrates such as concrete, cement screed, and cement backer board. It can also be used on existing ceramic tile or natural stone surfaces after proper surface preparation. Trufix 110 is not recommended for use on wooden, metal, or plastic substrates.
What tile types can be fixed with Trufix 110?
Trufix 110 is compatible with a wide range of tiles, including ceramic, porcelain, vitrified, mosaic, and natural stones like marble, granite, and limestone. It is suitable for fixing tiles up to 600 mm x 600 mm in size on interior floors.
How is Trufix 110 mixed and applied?
Trufix 110 is mixed with clean water in the ratio of 3-3.5 parts of powder to 1 part of water by volume to obtain a lump-free, creamy consistency. The adhesive is then spread on the substrate using a notched trowel, and the tiles are pressed firmly into the adhesive bed, ensuring complete coverage and a uniform thickness.
What is the recommended notched trowel size for applying Trufix 110?
The recommended notched trowel size for applying Trufix 110 depends on the size of the tiles and the substrate condition. For tiles up to 300 mm x 300 mm, use a 6 mm x 6 mm square-notched trowel. For tiles larger than 300 mm x 300 mm or uneven substrates, use a 12 mm x 12 mm square-notched trowel to ensure adequate coverage and support.
What is the open time and pot life of Trufix 110?
Trufix 110 has an open time of approximately 20-30 minutes at 30°C, which is the maximum time interval after application during which the tiles can be fixed without loss of adhesion. The pot life of the mixed adhesive is around 3 hours at 30°C. Do not add more water or use the adhesive beyond its pot life.
How long does Trufix 110 take to set and cure?
Trufix 110 sets in 24 hours and achieves full bond strength in 14 days at 30°C and 50% relative humidity. The tiles can be grouted after 24 hours, and the tiled area can be subjected to light foot traffic after 48 hours. Protect the tiled surface from water exposure and heavy loads during the curing period.
What coverage can be expected from a bag of Trufix 110?
The coverage of Trufix 110 varies depending on the substrate condition, tile size, and notched trowel size. As a general guide, a 20 kg bag of Trufix 110 covers approximately 5-6 m² using a 6 mm x 6 mm notched trowel and 3-4 m² using a 12 mm x 12 mm notched trowel, for a bed thickness of 3-6 mm.
