Product BrochureProduct Details:

AAC Block Adhesive is a factory prepared blend of carefully selected raw materials, portland cement and graded aggregates and polymers. Designed for use with water to produce high strength thixotropic mortar, for laying aerated light weight concrete, fly ash bricks, cement hollow blocks, cellular concrete blocks or smoothing over the block work surface in layers of upto 12mm thickness, that meet and exceed the requirements of National and International Standards.

Features and Benifits:

• Long working time
• No curing required after block work is done
• Improved adhesion between two blocks
• Fast & economical

Coverage Approximately 200 sq.ft. per 50 kg bag when used at 2-3mm bed thickness Coverage is based on smoothness and evenness of the substrate, size of blocks used and the thickness of mortar used. A general guide line for coverage of mortar is given when used with 25% Water is added to powder.

Certification

• ANSI: A 118.1
• EN: C1TE
• ISI: Type 1 Adhesive
• VOC: NIl

Areas of Application For interior and exterior use for preparing thin bed block mortar for ALC and cellular concrete blocks  

Suitable Substrates

• Concrete blocks
• Cement mortar blocks/bricks
• Concrete hollow blocks
• Aerated light weight blocks
• Cellular concrete blocks
• Fly ash bricks

Surface Preparation:

• If a plaster/leveling mortar bed is applied, ensure that it is cured for at least 7 days to achieve proper strength before application of adhesive for construction of block work
• Ensure the substrate is clean and free from impurities like dust, dirt, debris, oil, grease, curing agents, existing paints, loose plaster etc.
• Dampen the surface before application of adhesive
• Clean the back of block for any dust or coating

Mixing: The product can be mixed by hand or slow speed electric drill mixer (less than 300 rpm). Pour water in a clean container and then add the powder LATICRETE® AAC Block adhesive until the mixture becomes creamy and plastic. Do Not Over mix. Leave the mix to slake for 5-10 min and remix before use. Mix only sufficient quantity of adhesive for immediate need. Proportion: Approximately 1 bag of 50 Kg of LATICRETE® AAC Block Adhesive with 12 to 15 ltrs of Water. Adjust quantity of liquid to obtain proper consistency.

Installation: Wet the surface and remove the excess water before applying the adhesive. Ensure the area is shaded from sunlight. The adhesive shall be applied with the flat side of the trowel using a scraping motion to work the material into good contact with the surface to be covered. Additional mortar is then applied with the notched edge of the trowel.

Substrate: The surfaces on which the block work has to be done shall be sound and confirm to good design, rigid, clean and free of dirt, oil, grease, curing compounds, form release agents or loose plaster and paint For economy the surfaces should be level and true within : Floors – 1.5mm in 1.0m
