ADDITIVE MODIFYING PARAMETERS OF SELECTED CEMENT MORTARS, IMPROVES MORTAR ELASTICITY AND ADHESION, EXTENDS THE RANGE OF MORTAR APPLICATION
TO BE USED WITH MORTARS FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL USE

USE

AVAL KC 83 is designed for modifying properties of selected cement mortars, extending their scope of application. Used together with AVAL KM 11, AVAL KM 14 adhesive and AVAL KE 35 grout, it enables to fix tiles on rigid and stable water-resistant plywood, plasterboard panels, existing glazed tiles, terracotta and terrazzo and on the remainder of existing strongly bound adhesives and mineral mortars. With AVAL KC 83, the aforementioned adhesives can also be used for fixing tiles on terraces, and floor and wall heating systems. AVAL KC 83 can also be used to prepare the contact layer before application of quick-setting AVAL KN 83 mortar. The emulsion is suitable for adhesives and mortars for indoor and outdoor use, on walls and floors.

PROPERTIES

AVAL KC 83 is based on high-quality polymer dispersion and modifying agents. It is easy and convenient to use, and improves adhesion, elasticity and plasticity and watertightness. If added, it compensates for the stressing forces within the substrate in the case of fixing ceramic tiles in floor heating systems. Adhesives/mortars with AVAL KC 83 remain frost- and water-proof.

PRODUCT PREPARATION

Add AVAL KC 83 to adhesives/mortars in the form of a water solution. Pour the emulsion to a clean vessel and dilute it using clean water applying appropriate ratio, depending on intended use. - for AVAL KM 11adhesive - 1 kg of emulsion for 1.7 l of water; for AVAL KM 14 adhesive - 1 kg of emulsion for 1.7 l of water; for AVAL KE 35 grout - 1 kg of emulsion for 2 l of water; for AVAL KN 83 (applied to the contact layer) - 1 kg of emulsion for 2 l water.

APPLICATION

Add slowly the dry mix (in the ratio of 10 kg of a given compound for a solution prepared from 1 kg of emulsion) to a water solution of AVAL KC 83 and mix until homogenous. The modified adhesive/mortar is ready to use after 10 minutes and after remixing. After adding the emulsion, AVAL KM 11 adhesive and AVAL KE 35 grout maintain their properties for 2 hours after mixing, AVAL KM 14 adhesive – 30 minutes after mixing, and AVAL KN 83 mortar - immediately after mixing. Whether the adhesive/mortar is used with AVAL KC 83 or without it, its application remains the same in accordance with the instructions contained in the Technical Sheet of a given adhesive/mortar. The information comprises basic instructions of product application and does not relieve users of responsibility for work in accordance with good construction practice and OHS regulations.

CONSUMPTION

On average, 1.0 kg of AVAL KC 83 emulsion is used for 10 kg of modified cement mortar.

TOOLS

A drill with a mixer, float made of steel. Wash the tools with clean water directly after use. Clean the remainder of the set mortar modified with the emulsion using AVAL KL 55.

PACKAGING

Plastic containers: 1 kg, 5 kg Pallet: 432 kg in 1 kg containers, 540 kg in 5 kg containers

STORAGE & TRANSPORT

Transport and keep the emulsion dry in tightly closed original packaging, in temperatures above 0°C. Avoid overheating. Shelf life is 12 months from the production date on the packaging.

CAUTION
