FAQs
LATICRETE® 226 is a factory made cement, sand and polymer premix which is used to produce high strength screed /mortar mixed with LATICRETE® 3642, diluted with water.
You can use LATICRETE® 226 mixed with LATICRETE® 3642 for internal and external areas like residential floors,commercial floors and industrial floors, parking lots etc.
For 50 Kg bag of LATICRETE® 226 powder, the following dilutions for making various thicknesses of screeds:
- For 12mm to 25mm thickness of screed, the total liquid required is 5 Litres where the dilution is 1:3 (LATICRETE® 3642 : Water)
- For 25mm to 35mm thickness of screed, the total liquid required is 5 Litres where the dilution is 1:4 (LATICRETE® 3642 : water)
- For 35mm to 50mm thickness of screed, the total liquid required is 5 Litres where the dilution is 1:5 (LATICRETE® 3642: Water)
Yes. One can make a polymer plaster using these combination products which acts as the strong base for installation of large format tiles and stones using MYK LATICRETE polymer modified / fortified thin set adhesives.
The cement based screed would require water curing for a minimum period of 11 days for gaining complete strength. The screed made with LATICRETE® 226 mixed with LATICRETE® 3642, doesn't require water curing and has better workability, compaction and finish. This is part of MBS system due to this distinct advantage. It is a great advantage when high absorbent natural stones are being installed on floors; there is absolutely no moisture present when the underlay is made with LATICRETE® 226 + LATICRETE® 3642.
MBS system is Moisture Barrier System which is the proprietary system from MYK LATICRETE India. This is especially for Natural stones which develop stains due to their porosity and absorption of liquids. LATICRETE® 226 + LATICRETE® 3642 screed does not require water curing which makes the screed dry without moisture and hence natural stones are not stained due to screed moisture.
Yes. Bond coat can be made by mixing LATICRETE® 3642 with water. Alternatively LATICRETE® 226 can be used in slurry form mixed with LATICRETE® 3642 diluted with water in the ratio of 1:4.
One can make a bonded screed up to 50 mm with LATICRETE® 226 + LATICRETE® 3642 with ease.
The precautions before laying the LATICRETE® 226 + LATICRETE® 3642 screed are:
- Use good quality water to mix the screed
- Ensure concrete surface is cleaned of debris, curing compounds, dust or any other contaminants.
- Pre-wet the concrete surface to ensure surface saturated dry conditions (SSD condition)
- Key coat (priming coat) should be done using LATASCREED® 100 / cement screed mixed with water to form slurry ensuring minimum 1 Kg consumption per square meter area of floor.
- Mix the screed materials using LATICRETE® 226 + LATICRETE® 3642 + water, uniformly without any lumps. Check the consistency of screed.
- Place the mixed materials of screed made with LATICRETE® 226 + LATICRETE® 3642 when the key coat is still tacky.
Tiles can be laid in the traditional methodology (Wet on Wet system) using MYK LATICRETE Super Set Slurry. One can also wait for 3 days after laying the screed to install tiles/stones using adhesive. Both the methods offer great advantage over normal cement screed which results in very well bonded tiles/stones without hollow sounds and chipping or popping of tiles/stones.
