PACKAGING
col max white
Formerly "Carrocolle Max"
PRODUCT
col max is a ready mix cement-based polymer
modified adhesive for fixing all types of ceramic tiles and
stones, including fully vitrified/porcelain tiles to rigid interior
and exterior floors and walls.
col max has very strong bond strength onto tiles with
very low porosity. It is suitable to fix tiles onto low porosity
substrates such as power floated concrete or existing tiles.
The extra white color of
col max is especially suitable
for fixing light colored stones, marble, granite… It is suitable
for use in wet and dry conditions. Exceeds the requirements
of EN 12004.
SCOPE OF USE
col max is used for fixing a wide range of tiles (ceramic,
porcelain, mosaics, sandstone, granite, marble, natural
stones etc...) on the following substrates:
• Concrete
• Lightweight blocks
• Stone walls (cleaned and prepared)
• Glazed tiles (internal use)
• Cementitious plaster and renders
• Gypsum Board
• Fixing of Polystyrene board to concrete or cementitious
substrate.
Over difficult substrates such as gypsum, wood..., primer is
required, consult company for advice.
col max can be used for tiling in:
• Private swimming-pools (≤80m3)
• Bathrooms
• Stairs
• Heated floors
• Façades, balconies, terraces
• Rooms
• Parking

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be clean and free from greasy matters or dust.
Substrate should have been sufficiently cured in a way that
any shrinkage has already occurred. Make good any
unsound areas and remove flaky or peeling layers before
tiling.
Moisten slightly the substrate if it is dry at the time of application,
never moisten the tiles.

PRODUCT PREPARATION
Mix
col max in the proportion of 3.5 to 3.75 liters of
clean cool water per 15 kg bag (or 4.6 to 5 liters per 20 kg bag).
An electric mixer with low rotation speed (< 300 rpm) can be
used. Mix until a uniform lump free paste is obtained. Let the
paste rest for a few minutes before starting the application.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
Apply the adhesive onto the substrate covering up to 1 m² at
a time (or no more than can be tiled within 30 minutes at
20°C). Use a suitable notched trowel to achieve a uniform
thickness. Apply the tiles on the substrate and press them
firmly, while making sure that the paste does not slip from
the tile sides. Large or studded backed tiles may need to
have adhesive buttered onto the tile back as well. Leave
appropriate clearance joints for grouting and make any
adjustments within 10 minutes.
CLEANING
Carefully clean off any excess adhesive from the tiles and
joints with a damp cloth or sponge, before it sets. Clean the
tools with water after use. Cured materials can only be
removed mechanically.
PRECAUTIONS
Apply
col max on the substrate by areas of around 1 m²
each, which can be tiled within a maximum of 30 minutes
from application time at 20°C. After that time, an outer skin
may form thus preventing the tile from adhering properly to
col max. Adjustments to the tiles should only be made
during
col max open time.It is recommended to leave a
minimum width of 2 mm around the tiles. Grouting the tile
joints should only be done at least 24 hours after tiling, using
joint perfect or
joint (Carrojoint).
STORAGE
12 months after manufacturing date in original and non-open
packaging, under cover, in dry condition, away from humidity,
protected from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The product contains cement powders which, when mixed
with water, release alkalis that could be harmful to the skin. It
is preferable that the application be done in a ventilated area,
and to wear protective gear for hands, eyes and respiratory
system and to avoid breathing of the dust. Splashes on the
skin should be washed away by cleaning with soap and water.
In case of contact with eyes, wash thouroughly with clean
water. If swallowed, do not induce vomitting, in both cases
seek medical attention. The product is non-flammable.
