Davco SMP Evo Tile Adhesive is a high-performance, flexible cement-based adhesive ideal for the installation of natural stone, porcelain, and marble tiles. Specially designed with advanced low-dust technology, it provides a cleaner and safer working environment. Its superior non-slump properties make it perfect for wall and floor tiling, including large-format tiles. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are structurally sound, dry, and free from contaminants like dust, oil, and wax. Smooth surfaces should be roughened slightly, and absorbent substrates should be primed. Existing tiles must be clean, dry, and securely bonded. Mixing: Mix 5kg of powder with approximately 1.4–1.5L of clean water using a mechanical mixer until a smooth, lump-free paste is formed. Allow it to stand for 5 minutes before remixing. Do not add more water after mixing. Application: Apply the adhesive with a notched trowel over an area no larger than can be tiled within the open time. Firmly press tiles into the adhesive bed with a twisting motion to ensure full contact. Back-buttering may be necessary for large tiles or uneven substrates. Coverage: Approximately 1.5–1.75m² per 5kg bag using a 10mm notch trowel. Drying Time: Tiles can generally be grouted after 24 hours. Allow 2 days before exposure to water in wet areas and 21 days for submerged areas like pools. Clean-up: Clean tools and excess adhesive with water before it sets. Once cured, adhesive must be removed mechanically. Technical Data: Classification: C2S1TE Pot life: 1.5 hours Open time: 30 minutes Adjustability time: 20 minutes VOC content: Low Appearance: White powder

Davco PrimeX Multipurpose Acrylic Primer 5L is a professional-grade, water-based primer specially formulated to improve the adhesion of tile adhesives and waterproofing membranes to porous surfaces. Ideal for interior and exterior walls and floors in domestic and commercial applications, this primer ensures strong bonding performance while reducing porosity and dusting of substrates. Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, wax, paint, curing compounds, and other contaminants. Remove any laitance, loose materials, or previous coatings that may interfere with adhesion. On hot or windy days, dampen porous substrates lightly to avoid flash drying—but do not leave standing water. Application Instructions: Stir the primer thoroughly before use. Apply evenly using a roller, brush, broom, or squeegee in a thin, consistent layer. Allow the primer to dry fully before proceeding—drying is complete when the white, milky appearance turns clear. Coverage: Approximately 6–10m² per litre, depending on surface porosity. Drying Time: Typically dries within 30–60 minutes under standard conditions. Cooler temperatures or high humidity may extend drying time. Clean Up: Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Do not allow the product to dry on tools. Technical Data: Type: Acrylic-based Colour: Milky white (dries clear) Suitable for: Cement render, concrete, fibre cement sheets VOC Content: Low Packaging: 5 Litre plastic container
