    How to Apply Matgrip Plus

    Matgrip Plus is a ready-to-use, solvent-free polymer adhesive spread with a notched trowel to fix tiles and panels on porous and non-porous substrates.

    1. Prepare the surface. All surfaces should be sound, clean, dry and free from loose material, efflorescence, laitance, curing compounds, dirt, oil and grease, with concrete and block fully cured and no rising damp.
    2. Prepare existing coverings. Existing ceramic, porcelain, marble or stone coverings must be firmly attached and free of oil; if needed, clean with a suitable detergent and rinse with plenty of water.
    3. Spread the adhesive. Spread on the substrate or on the back of the panel with the straight side of the trowel, then rework with the notched side to leave well-defined lines. Choose a notch that gives at least 60-70% coverage of the tile back.
    4. Install. Place the clean, dry tiles or panels on the fresh adhesive and press for full contact with the back. Install between +5°C and +35°C.
    5. Seal joints. Seal expansion joints with a suitable MATEX sealant.
    6. Clean tools. Clean tools and excess adhesive with water while wet; if the adhesive has dried, use mineral spirits.
