mm up to 10 mm.
It is resistant to sudden temperature changes
that last for a short period of time.
It is freeze-thaw cycle resistant.
It can be used in contact with drinking water.
(complies with BS 6920 standards)

the ceramics and the filling of the interlines must

be started the following day.
Preparation of Substrate for Grouting
Before filling antacid ceramics and granite
grouting holes, wait for the used adhesive to
achieve sufficient hardness. The surface must be
cleaned with methods that will not damage the
ceramics just before the application of interline
materials.
Mixing
MasterTile 700 has been Packagingd in the
amount that has to be mixed. If only some of
the Packaging content is going to be used, a
mixture is prepared in the ratio Component A /
Component B = 100/4 (by weight). Mix the two
components for at least 3 minutes with a mixer
that has a frequency of 400 - 600 rev/min until
a homogeneous mixture is obtained.

Application Procedure
Preparation of Substrate
For the Adhesive Make sure that the surfaces
are robust, dry, supportive, free of dust, clean
and also poise and even. The surface must be
cleaned of the remainders of substances like oil,
mold separator and paraffin and there must be
no loose particles on the surface.
Ceramic Application
The surface must be dry and must have taken
its resistance for 28 days. A spread thickness
of 2 mm must be obtained by using a rake with
4 mm prongs depending on the dimensions of

Trowel Application
Spread the MasterTile 700 prepared for the
interline application over the application surface
and fill it in the grouting holes with a plastic or
hard rubber trowel. Skim the excessive material
off the grouting holes with diagonal moves. (In
deep grouting holes, first wait for the settling
of the material and then repeat this procedure).
Wait for about 15 to 30 minutes depending on
the ambient and surface temperatures, clean
the surface with an appropriate sponge and hot
detergent containing water with circular moves

MasterTile 700 (Formerly known as Epofuga

and give the final shape to the interlines. Change

sponges that become dirty during the cleaning.

which spirit should be added in a ratio of 10%.

MasterTile 700 is also suitable for being filled
with a planer and being cleaned with felt.

Gun Application
Fill the MasterTile 700 prepared into the
grouting holes with an aperture filled gun. Skim
the excessive materials off the grouting holes
using a hard rubber trowel with diagonal moves.
(In deep grouting holes, first wait for the settling
of the material and repeat this procedure.) Wait
for about 15 to 30 minutes depending on the
ambient and surface temperatures, clean the
surface with an appropriate sponge and hot
detergent
containing water with circular moves and give
the final shape to the interlines. Change sponges
that become dirty during the cleaning.
Cleaning of the Ceramics
Clean the last film membrane on the ceramics
4 to 10 hours after the application with the
assistance of an appropriate sponge and hot
detergent water by making circular moves and
wipe the surface with a final cleaning water into

Coverage
1.70 kg/m2 for a thickness of 1 mm in the
adhesion of ceramics.
Watch Points
MasterTile 700 must be mixed with
mechanical mixers, it must definitely not be
mixed with a trowel.
The working and reaction times of resin based
systems depend on the ambient and surface
temperatures as well as the relative humidity
of the air. The chemical reaction slows down
in low temperatures and this elongates the pan
life, the duration in which it can be covered
and the working time. Since the viscosity
ascends at the same time Coverage increases.
High temperatures speed up the chemical
reaction and the durations indicated above
correspondingly get shorter. In order to have
the material complete its regimentation, the

MasterTile 700 (Formerly known as Epofuga

ambient and surface temperature must not

fall below the allowed minimum temperature.
Avoid MasterTile 700 application under
excessive heat or wind and/or when the
ambient and/or substrate temperature is below
+5 or above +25. Furthermore no applications
should be made in very hot, rainy or windy
weather.
In applications in cold weather, in order to take
the machinabilty of the material to the highest
level the Packagings must be made ready for
usage by conditioning in +20oC - +25oC.
Do not add water and/or new material to an
MasterTile 700 mixture which has started
getting dry under any circumstances.
15 - 30 minutes after the application of
the material, the cleaning must be started.
The surface cleansing procedure must not
be carried out by using sawdust. In order
the prevent the leakage of water under the
ceramics, the ceramics, installations (entrances
and exits of pipes), concrete, grouting holes
between the plaster, corner and edge grouting
holes in between the ceramics with suitable
mastics such as MasterSeal 474.
Cleaning of Tools
Used tools and equipment must be cleaned
with water after the application. Once cured
MasterTile 700 can only be removed by
mechanical means.
Standard Colors

Packaging
5.20 kg (A+B) tin container set
Storage
Store in an unopened, original container, under
dry and cool conditions and protect against frost.
For short term storage, do not stack more than
3 palettes on top of each other and dispatch
them on a first come - first go basis. Palettes
should not be stacked on each other on a long
term basis.
Shelf Life
12 months in original unopened packaging
if stored in appropriate conditions. Opened
Packagings should be consumed in one week.
Health and Safety Precautions
It is dangerous to approach storage and
application areas with fire. Fresh air should
be circulated at storage and application area.
The following protective measures should be
taken when working with the material: Wear
safety gloves, goggles and protective clothing
which comply with the Occupational Health and
Safety Rules. Because of the irritation effect of
the uncured material, component should not
come in contact with the skin or eyes. Under
such circumstances, the effected area should
be washed with plenty of water and soap. If
swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
Do not drink or eat at the application site Keep
out of reach of children. Please, refer to the
Material Safety Data Sheets for detailed
information.
