  • Application temperature: from +10°C up to +30°C

Substrate preparation:

Cementitious substrates must be compact, without cracks, and free from dust, salts, fats, and any other materials that could reduce the adhesion of NOVACOL 2K ELASTIC to them. The minimum tensile strength of the substrate must be > 1.5 N/mm². Concrete substrates should be mechanically prepared, e.g., by grinding, to achieve a uniform surface with an open-pored structure without protruding points.
Existing floor or wall coverings such as ceramic tiles, granite tiles, marbles, mosaics, etc., must be securely fastened to the substrate and free from residues that could affect adhesion. If necessary, clean the surface according to the type of surface contaminants.

Preparation of the mix:

Components A and B are in a predetermined mixing ratio. Transfer the entire quantity of component B to the packaging of component A and mix it with an electric mixer at low revs (300 rpm) for at least 3-5 minutes. Mixing should be carried out until the mixture is completely homogenized. The product is ready for use. The mixture has about 1 hour pot life. In hot periods and in general, it is advisable not to expose the materials before using them in the sun (powders and liquids), otherwise the open time of the mixture is greatly reduced. Avoid mixing in any case by hand.

Application:

It is applied with a tooth spatula depending on the back site of the coating. Follow the coating manufacturer's instructions. The amount of adhesive applied should be sufficient to ensure satisfactory coverage. Apply uniformly the adhesive to a surface where you can stick the coating within 60 minutes.

Grouting:

In areas where resistance to strong chemicals is required like in example wet areas or industrial floors it is recommended to use the epoxy grout NOVAGROUT EPOXY. For additional information refer to the Technical Data Sheets of the relevant products.

Recommendations:

  • Don’t apply on substrates and/or areas with temperature less than +10°C or higher than +30°C
  • Do not cover or apply the product over existing expansion joints
  • Do not apply to wet substrates, maximum humidity <2%
  • Subfloors with underfloor heating maximum moisture < 1,7%
  • Do not apply on fresh asphalt surfaces or with oil drainage
  • Applying with a flat spatula is required to form a sealing membrane
  • Application must be done by professional applicators

Cleaning:

Tools, buckets, tiles etc. can be cleaned with NOVATHINNER PU as long as, NOVACOL 2K ELASTIC is still fresh.
