Surface Preparation

Ensure the substrate is structurally sound, clean, and free of contaminants like dirt, oil, grease, paint, sealers, curing compounds, etc.
Remove dirt, dust, and laitance using a high-pressure water jet or other suitable methods.
Maintain a substrate temperature between 15°C and 40°C (higher temperatures accelerate curing; saturate with water to cool down).
Saturate cementitious substrates thoroughly and remove excess water before applying the tile adhesive. The surface should be brought to a touch-dry condition.
For drywall and other substrates, dry cleaning is recommended. For metallic substrates, remove loose rust and paint, and apply a suitable treatment before using GRESBOND EA-100.
Use a wire brush if necessary to remove any bond-inhibiting compounds.

Mixing

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) before handling the product.
Gradually add 2.5 kg of GRESBOND EA-100 component A to 2.5 kg of GRESBOND EA-100 component B. Mix until you achieve a lump-free, smooth, workable paste using a suitable stirrer/low-speed drill (100 rpm) or another appropriate tool.
Avoid high-speed mixing.
Mix only the amount of adhesive that can be consumed within 60 minutes.
Allow the mixture to stand for 2 minutes after mixing.
Wash tools immediately with water after use to prevent adhesive hardening.

In case of oil stains

Use surfactants for cleaning, followed by proper cleaning with water to prevent tile debonding.
Leave expansion joints at least 10 mm thick for every 12 feet in the substrate, following industry standards. Do not cover expansion joints with adhesive; fill them with an appropriate flexible sealant.

Do not

Attempt to extend the pot life by adding extra material like resin, solvent, etc., as this can negatively impact product performance.

Application

Application &
Details

Application

Apply the adhesive onto the substrate, covering up to 1 m2 at a time (or no more than what can be tiled within 30 minutes). Unfavorable weather conditions (strong sun, dry wind, high temperature) or highly absorbent substrates can significantly reduce open time, even to just a few minutes. Regularly check the adhesive to ensure ridges haven't hardened. If hardened, remove the adhesive and apply fresh material.
Use the straight edge of the notched trowel to spread GRESBOND EA-100 over the surface. Then, comb the applied adhesive using the notched side of the trowel to achieve the desired thickness.
Double buttering is recommended for heavier stones.
If buttering the tile itself, ensure proper coverage of the tile surface to prevent voids.
Maintain expansion joints at least 10 mm thick for every 12 feet in the substrate, following industry standards. Do not cover expansion joints with adhesive; fill them with an appropriate flexible sealant.
Joint width should be as per the recommendation of the architect or site engineer.

Conduct a small-scale application evaluation on pure white or highly porous stones before large-scale usage.

Installing the Tile

Clean the stone/tile with water or a dry cloth before installation. Wipe with a clean, dry cloth to ensure there's no water film inhibiting the bond.
Bed the tiles firmly into the adhesive with a slight sliding and/or twisting action to ensure good and uniform contact.
Occasionally lift a tile after fixing to verify proper contact is achieved.
In wet areas, external areas, and all floors, the final adhesive bed should be free of voids.
Adjust tiles within 90 minutes of installation, if necessary.
Carefully remove any excess adhesive from the tiles and joints with a damp sponge or cloth before it sets. Leave for at least 24 hours before grouting.
More time may be required before grouting when tiling onto impervious or sealed surfaces or using a higher bed thickness.

Notes to Specifier and Installer

Do not use on wet screed or plaster. The surface must be fully cured.
To create a high aesthetic appeal, fill joints with GRESBOND KE-100 grout.

Grouting

If using grout between tiles and stones, wait 24 hours after applying GRESBOND EA-100 before grouting.
To match the grout color to the tile/stone, use GRESBOND epoxy shade cards, available in 20 popular shades.

Ready to Use

Surfaces are ready for use 2 days after grouting is complete, depending on the type of grout used.
