Up to 3/8” / 10 mm mortar thickness

Excellent sag resistance, flexible, white cement based, acrylic polymer modified white thin-set mortar in compliance with EN 12 004 C2 TE-S1 and ANSI A 118.4 For interior and exterior ceramic and quarry tile installations, porcelain stoneware, porcelain and glass mosaic, clinker and brick tile and non-moisture sensitive natural stone over load-bearing substrates such as in situ concrete (at least 6 months old) and gypsum fiberboard, sheetrock, heated screed (please follow corresponding regulations and data sheets), poured mastic asphalt, autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) as well as balconies and patios. Suitable for installations of glass mosaic in submerged areas and outdoors by adding 10% Okamul DZ 18 (2.5 kg Okamul DZ 18 per 20 kg powder, and 2 parts by volume of water and 1 part Okamul DZ 18).

The substrate must be sound, clean and stable. If installation occurs on shrinking substrates, frequent expansion joints should be included in the layout. Prime absorbent substrates in interior areas with Okatmos® DSG or Okatmos® UG 30. Allow a drying time of at least 24 hours over calcium sulphate screed. Prime non-absorbent substrates with Okatmos® UG 30 or Okatmos® DSG. In exterior areas apply a contact layer of adhesive mortar and let it set. Always prime exterior substrates with Okatmos® UG 30. Clean old and suitable exterior tiles and prime with Okatmos® UG 30 always in conjunction with a waterproofing membrane, e.g. Servoflex DMS 1K Plus SuperTec.

Expansion joints shall be provided through the tile work from all construction or expansion joints in the substrate. Follow recent TTMAC and ANSI specification A108.01-3.7 “Requirements for Movement Joints: Preparations by Other Trades” or Tile Council of North America (TCNA) detail EJ-171 “Movement Joints—Vertical & Horizontal.” Do not cover expansion joints with mortar.
Thoroughly clean non-absorbent substrates, e.g. Terrazzo, old ceramic coverings with an alkaline basic cleaner, allow to dry and prime with Okatmos® DSG or Okatmos® UG 30*.
Thoroughly clean old, firmly adhering homogeneous VCT coverings in a dry indoor area with an alkaline basic leaner, allow to dry, sand and vacuum with an industrial vacuum cleaner. Then prime with Okatmos® UG 30 or Okatmos® DSG. Check local building laws/recommendations when dealing with asbestos-based VCT. Follow additional installation and floor preparation guidelines located in the latest TTMAC and TCNA installation manuals.

Double layered plywood substrates must be dry, APA-rated, Type 1, COFI Group exterior-grade plywood, certified CANPLY (SELECT) or (SEL-TF) CSA 121, minimum 32 mm (1 ¼“) total thickness in residential and light commercial and dry conditions only. Refer to ANSI A 108 AN-2 “General Requirements for Sub surfaces” and the Tile Council of North America’s “Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation” for detailed information on surface preparation and guidelines for substrate construction. Provide expansion joints and control joints as specified per TCNA Detail EJ171; #301-MJ or TTMAC Specification Guide. Follow plywood installation guidelines and requirements located in Tile Council of North America’s “Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation” and TTMAC Specification Guide. Follow deflection allowance in accordance with ASTM C627 Standard test method. In some cases, the maximum deflection must not exceed L/720.

Mix ServoStar® 3000 Flex white with clean, cool water to a smooth texture. Allow mixture to slake for approx. 5 minutes and stir again. Use appropriate notched trowel (see table) to apply mortar onto a substrate, slide the covering material into the adhesive bed within 25 minutes and press tightly. Depending on the absorbency of the substrate/covering corrections can be made within 25 minutes.
