QUICSEAL 600 

Tilebond

 
Description  
QUICSEAL 600 TILEBOND is a grey or white powder adhesive composed of cement, graded fine sand, synthetic resins and specially formulated additives to be mixed with water as a thin-set tile adhesive with very good adhesion strength.  
When cured, QUICSEAL 600 is water resistant and has excellent thixotropic and shrinkage control properties. 

Classification:

EN 12004 : C1T 

Typical Uses 
QUICSEAL 600 is suitable for bonding ceramic tiles, quarry tiles, klinker, mosaics, natural stones, etc. 

• both wall and floor;
• internal and external areas;
• conventional cement-sand screeds and renders.

Limitations 
Do not use QUICSEAL 600 to: 

• bond tiles on walls subjected to flexing and vibration (such as very thin plywood and gypsum board walls). Use QUICSEAL 605 MULTIPURPOSE PASTE or QUICSEAL 606 TILEFLEX;
• bond tiles on metal surfaces. Use QUICSEAL 612 TILEPOXY;
• bond moisture sensitive stones. QUICSEAL 612 TILEPOXY.
• bond tiles on areas subjected to high movement or traffic (such as vehicular driveway)

Substrate Preparation 
The substrates must be levelled, clean and sound, free of dust and loose particles. Laitance, oil, grease, mould release agents or curing compound must be removed from concrete surfaces by using wire brush, scabbler or other means. 
Extremely porous and powdery substrates (e.g. gypsum or prefabricated plaster panels, etc.) should be treated with QUICSEAL 113 PRIMER C before laying tiles with QUICSEAL 600 adhesive. 
It is advisable to allow screeds and renders to cure for at least 7 days and surfaces which have become heated from exposure to direct sunlight should be dampened with water to prevent premature curing.   
 

Mixing Instructions 
Pour approximately 6 litres of water into a clean container.  Slowly add 25 kg of QUICSEAL 600 and mix with a slow speed mechanical mixer until homogenous and lump free paste is obtained.  Allow the mix to stand for 5 minutes and re-stir before use. 

Technical Data 

Application 
To achieve good adhesion, firstly apply a thin coat of QUICSEAL 600 adhesive firmly onto the substrate using the straight edge of the trowel followed immediately with the appropriate amount of adhesive with the notch side to achieve the required thickness. The correct notched trowel size to use will depend on the type and size of the tiles. 

For large sized tiles and tiles with lugs and grooves, apply a coat of QUICSEAL 600 adhesive to the back of the tiles to ensure sufficient coverage when laid. 

Lay the tiles onto the adhesive and ensure that a firm pressure is applied to achieve good contact with the adhesive. 

Unfavourable climatic conditions such as strong sunlight, wind and high temperature, etc. and very porous substrates may reduce the open time of the adhesive.  Hence, careful checks have to be made to ensure that skinning does not occur on the surface of the adhesive before laying the tiles.  If a skinning has occurred, rework the adhesive before laying the tiles. 

The tiles must be adjusted within 30 minutes after laying and must be protected from rain or strong sun for at least 24 hours. 

Tile joints can be grouted usually 6 to 8 hours after laying the tiles 

Cleaning 
All tools and hands may be cleaned with abundant water before the adhesive sets. After setting, cleaning becomes very difficult but can usually be helped by mechanical means. 

Coverage 
1.6kg per m2 per 1mm thick 
The coverage is also affected by the condition of the substrate. 

Packing 
QUICEAL 600 is supplied in 25 kg bags. 

Storage 
12 months in a dry place in the original packaging
