Application Procedure

Preparation of the Substrate

Making strength of adhesive should be expected before starting joint sealant application. 48 hours of waiting time is generally sufficient. The grout in the joints should be cleaned and the joints should be emptied. Joints of highly absorbent materials must be moistened before filling.

Mixing

Clean water as described on the package is put into a clean mixing bowl. When the BYK 1005 FUGA bag is opened slowly into the water, it is about 3 minutes until it is homogenous with the 400-600-speed mixing drill. Mixed. The material should not remain in the pellet. After resting the material for 3 minutes again 1 min. ready for application by mixing. Different water ratios and different forms of mixing may cause unwanted colour differences.

Mixing Ratio

For 20 kg/1 bag of BYK 1005 FUGA approximately 6,00-6,50 lt of water should be used.

Application
The mixed material is placed with rubber trowel by making diagonal movements to the joints. In deep joints, the material should first be expected to collapse and then this process should be repeated. In extreme hot weather and on absorbent surfaces, the joint material may suddenly lose water and cause surface cracks. Therefore, the joints must be moistened with a wet sponge before application. When the materials left to dry are pressed against finger pressure, the surfaces are finalized with a wet sponge and the remaining material on the ceramic surface is cleaned.

Watch Points

• In BYK 1005 FUGA application, suitable temperatures should be expected if ambient and surface temperature are below + 5 ° C or above + 35 ° C. It should not be applied in extremely hot, rainy or very windy weather.
• In outdoor applications, for the first 24 hours should be protected from sun, rain, wind and freezing.
• Working and reaction times in grouting mortars are affected by air temperature, humidity and floor temperatures.
• High temperatures accelerate hydration and the working time is shortened accordingly. Low temperatures slow down hydration and thus extend the working time. For the material to be completed, the floor temperature and ambient temperature to be applied must not fall below the minimum permissible temperature.

Shelf Life
Shelf life is 12 months from the date of production when stored properly at +5 oC to +30 oC at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Opened packages should be consumed within 1 week by closing the mouths.
Storage
The product should be stored in its original package, in a cool and dry place protected from frost. For short term storage, maximum 2 palettes should be placed on top of each other and the shipment should be made on a ‘first come, first go’ basis. Palettes should not be placed on top of each other during long term storage.
Health and Safety Precautions
It is dangerous to approach the application sites with fire. Fresh air should be circulated in the storage and the application sites. During the application, a protective apparel, protective gloves, goggles and masks which comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Rules should be used. Due to the irritation effect of the uncured materials, the mixture should not come into contact with skin and eyes; in case of a contact, the affected area should be washed with plenty of water and soap; in case of swallowing, a physician should be consulted immediately. No food or beverages should be brought to the application area. The product should be stored and kept out of reach of children.
