Site Engineering Protocol

8-Step Mixing & Installation Protocol

Adhere to these standardized architectural application phases for maximum tensile adhesion and zero hollow debonding risk.

01 PREP

Substrate Preparation

Ensure substrate is structurally sound, clean, dry, free of oil, dust, efflorescence, and loose debris before application.

Standard Protocol
02 RATIO

Water Proportioning

Measure clean potable water in precise ratio (~20–25% by weight, approx 4.5–5.0 L per 20kg bag) into a clean mixing bucket.

Standard Protocol
03 MIX

Mechanical Mixing

Add powder gradually into water while stirring with a slow-speed electric paddle mixer (300–400 RPM) to achieve a smooth, lump-free paste.

Standard Protocol
04 SLAKE

Slake Time (Resting)

Allow mixture to slake for 3–5 minutes undisturbed. This allows active polymers to fully dissolve and chemical adhesion to trigger.

Standard Protocol
05 RE-MIX

Brief Re-Stirring

Re-mix briefly for 1 minute without adding extra water or powder. The mixture is now ready with a smooth, buttery trowel consistency.

Standard Protocol
06 NOTCH

Notched Application

Apply adhesive using flat side of trowel, then comb with notched side held at a 45° angle in one direction to create uniform ribs.

Standard Protocol
07 BEDDING

Tile Bedding & Alignment

Press tile firmly into wet adhesive with a twisting motion to collapse ribs and achieve >85% bed contact (>95% in wet/exterior spaces).

Standard Protocol
08 CURE

Curing & Grouting

Allow adhesive bed to cure undisturbed for 24 hours before subjecting to foot traffic or executing joint grouting with ARTICKK Grout.

Standard Protocol

Jobsite Engineering Directive

Do not add water or powder to mortar that has begun to set. Discard any expired mortar past its pot life.

Yes. Based on the chemical properties, A400 - NSA Diamond (Grey & White) is ideal for vitrified tiles. It provides the high polymer adhesion needed for low-porosity vitrified tile surfaces.

This product is suitable for the following areas: All kinds of vitrified tiles, slab tiles, granite, marble & natural stone up to about 2–3 cm thickness, wall and floor, internal and external use, large-format tiles as listed in the brochure.. Refer to the technical specifications for substrate compatibility.

The substrate must be completely flat, structurally sound, clean, and free from dust, oil, paint, or grease. Highly absorbent substrates should be dampened prior to application.

Pour clean water into a mixing bucket, then add A400 - NSA Diamond (Grey & White) powder. Mix thoroughly with a slow-speed electric stirrer until a smooth, lump-free paste is achieved. Let it slake for 5–10 minutes, then re-stir before application.

Coverage varies based on substrate flatting, trowel size, and tile back profile. Refer to the product datasheet or use the Interactive Material Calculator on this page to estimate quantities.

Tiles installed with A400 - NSA Diamond (Grey & White) are ready for light foot traffic and joint grouting after approximately 24 hrs. Full curing depends on room temperature and humidity.

A400 - NSA Diamond (Grey & White) complies with national and international quality standards. Please refer to the technical specs table for test certifications like IS/EN compliance.

For a complete ARTICKK tiling system, pair the adhesive with ARTICKK Grouting Solution. Choose Epoxy Grout for wet/hygienic zones and standard Tile Grout for dry, general-purpose living spaces.
