Application Instructions

Surface Preparation

1. Clean the Surface: Ensure the surface is free of any dust, oil, grease, and loose particles.
2. Moisturize: Damp the surface slightly with water before applying the adhesive. This helps prevent the substrate from sucking the water out of the adhesive prematurely.

Mixing Instructions

1. Measure Water Correctly: Use 6 to 6.5 liters of water for mixing with 20 kg of ROC PRIME (white variant) or 5.5 to 6 liters of water for the gray variant.
2. Mixing: Add the measured water into a clean bucket, then gradually add the adhesive powder while constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
3. Mix Until Smooth: Continue mixing till you get a homogeneous and lump-free consistency. Allow the mixture to slake for 5-10 minutes, then re-mix before application.

Application Process

1. Apply the Mortar: Using a notched trowel, spread the adhesive onto the surface at a thickness ranging from 3-12 mm.
2. Fix the Tiles: Lay the tiles into the adhesive bed, pressing them down firmly to ensure full contact with the adhesive.
3. Adjust as Needed: You have up to 30 minutes of adjustability time to make
