Application lnstructions
Shake the product before use.

1 Unit Tekno 1 with 1O units of clean water thoroughly mix in a clean container. in order to obtain better results, it is suggested to mix the water with Tekno 1 in equal quantity first and then add the rest of the water.

Walls: Apply the mortar mixed to a smooth consistency with a steel trowel to be 6 mm thick in each layer. The second coat should be applied after the first coat begins to harden (usually 4-5 hours). lf the second coat is to be applied four times, apply a thin mortar layer prepared with water only to increase the adhesion of the last coat after the third coat application. The intermediate layers should not be etched for roughening in order to obtain better adhesion strengths. The last coat application should be done with wooden trowel to prevent sherbet residues from forming on the surface.

First coat (1:1): The dry mixture should contain the same amount of cement and sand (passing through a 3 mm elbow). Then the TEKNO 1 mixture is added and mixed.

Second coat (1:1,5): Prepare the mixture of 1:1.5 cement: sand (passing 3 mm elet) and add TEKNO 1 mixture.

Third coat (1:2,5): The dry mix ratio should be 1:2.5 (cement: sand). Add the mixture ofTEKNO 1 and mix.

Finish coat (1:1) (on second or third coat): Dry mix should be applied with 1:1 (volume) cement: sand and mortar produced without adding TEKNO 1.

For best results, the cement should be fresh Portland cement. Sand; it should be clean, angular and small in size of 3 mm. Soft and round grain sand is not useful.

Flooring: Application with primer (Water, TEKNOLATEX, sand, cement) application and normally two layer brush is as follows;
Bonding coat (1:1): After the mixture of cement and sand, TEKNO1 mixture is added, mix until a plastic consistency is obtained.

Main ground coat (1:2,5): When the mixture is semi-dry, place ona stili wet layer of adhesive so that it is not thinner than 28 mm, and knock the moisture up to the surface. Fix the surface with a wooden trowel.
