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.
