KANGAROO 2 IN 1 Masonry and Tile Adhesive Mortar  is high quality masonry mortar for lightweight block wall. Quick dry masonry mortars reducing the need to pour water on the blocks before masonry. Excellent adhesive properties, provided quick bonding and high adhesion with right setting time for block alignment.  Compressive strength at 28 days, not less than 100 kg/cm². Tensile strength  ≥ 1.6 kg/cm2 for non-load bearing and load-bearing lightweight block wall at a line thickness of only 2-3 mm.

For Tile Adhesive, great for tile up maximum to 60×60 cm. Ready to use when mixed with water according to specified ratio. Reduce the work steps by eliminating the immersion process. Suitable for tile with high absorption such as terracotta and ceramic tile. Ideal for interior floor with excellent adhesion and texture with right setting for the alignment.

Masonry Work for Lightweight Block

Preparation

Use a broom to clean off the dust from the blocks. No need to pour water on the blocks, they can be used dry.

Mixing

Mix 40 kilograms (1 bag) of KANGAROO Mansonry and Tile adhesive Mortar with 10.5-12.0 liters of water.  Or mix KANGAROO Mansonry and Tile adhesive Mortar with water in a ratio of 2.5:1.  Mix the mixture thoroughly until it forms a consistent texture without lumps. Mix with an electric drill for at least 3 minutes. Set aside the mixture for 5 minutes to allow the chemical reactions. Mix again before masonry.

Machine Mixing

Use an electric drill and mix for at least 3 minutes until the texture is consistent. Set aside the mixture for 5 minutes to allow the chemical reactions. Mix again before masonry.

Hand Mixing

Use a trowel to mix mortar for an extended period until it forms a consistent texture without lumps. Set aside the mixture for 5 minutes to allow the chemical reactions. Mix again before masonry.

Work Process

1. Place the lightweight blocks at an inclined angle on the floor. Apply a thin layer of the mortar on the head and along the edges of blocks, with a thickness of 2-3 cm. Observe the consistency of the mixture by:
   • If the mixed mortar is too runny and does not hold in shape, add more mortar to the mixture.
   • If the mixed mortar is too thick and does not spread evenly, add more water to the mixture.
2. Position the lightweight blocks on top of the applied mortar. Align properly and tap the blocks firmly to ensure they adhere tightly. Use a trowel to remove an excess mortar and smooth the surface. The masonry work can be continued immediately.

Tile Adhesive Work

Preparation

1. Clean and dry the tiles before laying (do not soak the tiles in water).
2. The surface to be tiled must be leveled and strong, without any loose or unstable areas.
3. For the wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, it is recommended to install a waterproofing system before tiling to prevent water leakage.

Work Process

1. Apply the adhesive onto the surface using a trowel, ensuring the size of the notches matches the tile size. Spread the adhesive evenly over the surface.
2. Place the tiles onto the adhesive and press firmly. Use rubber mallet to tap the tiles evenly, ensuring a strong bond between the adhesive and the tiles. Maintain a minimum gap of 2 mm for grouting.

Precautions

– Avoid using tile adhesive in direct sunlight or high temperatures as it results in lower adhesive strength.

– Contained cement, may cause irritation if it comes into contact with skin or eyes. – Rinse eyes thoroughly with water if irritation occurs and seek medical attention.

Storage

Keep in dry and shaded area. – 3 months of shelf life.

Suggestions

– Tile adhesive is recommended for interior floor.

– Proper usage and mixing of mortar help reduce the risk of cracks.

– Lifting the mortar in a proper posture can prevent muscle strain and injury.
