Product - MR. JO Tecbond-X

Description

Mr. JO Tecbond-X is a strong, two-part epoxy adhesive with a thick texture. It works well for both building and factory jobs. Its paste-like formula makes it easy to spread on surfaces. You can use it for tile cladding, stone fixing, and other tough tasks. Also, it does not contain any solvent and lasts a long time. It sticks well even in wet, damp, or underwater areas. Because it dries to a waterproof, slate black finish, many people choose it for projects that need strength and a clean look.

• Color: Black
• Pot life @25°C: 35-50 mins
• Mixing Ratio: 100:50 PBW
• Mixture consistency: Thixotropic black paste
• Optics: Opaque
• Damp, moist and underprepared substrate curing

• Repair, fill and seal holes, cracks and worn surfaces
• Bonding agent for pre casted concrete segment
• Concrete repairs
• Damp, moist and underprepared substrate bonding
• Bonding agent for tile & brick

• The mixture should be applied on a clean, rough and dry surface. This should be achieved by suitable mechanical and chemical means such as sandblasting Wire brushing or chemical etching. Suitable degreasing agent should be used to remove any grease, or oil traces on the surface.

• Use Part A & Part B in ratio 100:50 pbw. Mix the two components in small batches thoroughly for at least 2minutes. Apply the mix directly or using proper spatula to the pretreated surfaces.
• The joint components should be assembled as soon as the adhesive has been applied.
• Allow the material to cure for at least 24 hours before putting to use.

Q1. What is MR. JO Tecbond‑X used for? A1. MR. JO Tecbond‑X is a specialty thixotropic epoxy adhesive engineered for cladding and bonding panels—particularly suitable for stone, ceramic, glass, and metal laminates. Its non-sag, high-viscosity formula excels even on partially prepared or irregular substrates.

Q2. Can it bond cladding to damp or underprepared surfaces? A2. Absolutely. MR. JO Tecbond‑X is designed to perform on damp, dusty, or uneven surfaces, making it ideal for real-world site conditions without extensive surface preparation.

Q3. What materials are compatible? A3. Works exceptionally well with stone, marble, granite, glass, metal panels, and many engineered composites. Non-porous or high density materials are handled effectively thanks to strong surface adhesion.

Q4. Is it suitable for exterior applications? A4. Yes. When combined with recommended sealants and coatings, MR. JO Tekbond‑X withstands outdoor conditions, heat, and moderate UV exposure. For constant weather exposure, follow recommended sealing steps.

Q5. What does “thixotropic” mean and why is it important? A5. Thixotropic adhesives thicken at rest (preventing sagging) and flow under pressure, allowing for easy alignment during installation and stable bonding afterward—especially on vertical surfaces.

Q6. How long is the working (pot) time? A6. At 25 °C, expect 35–50 minutes working time—ample time to spread adhesive and adjust large cladding panels as needed.

Q7. What mixing ratio should I use? A7. Mix Part A and Part B in a 100:50 ratio by weight until the blend is uniform and lump-free.

Q8. How should surfaces be prepped? A8. Wipe away loose dust or debris. Although MR. JO Tecbond‑X tolerates imperfections, cleaning the surface ensures maximum bonding performance.

Q9. Can it fill small gaps or uneven surfaces? A9. Yes, its thick, paste-like consistency allows it to act as a thin leveling layer, filling minor surface irregularities up to a few millimeters without sagging.

Q10. How do I assemble cladding panels after applying adhesive? A10. Spread a continuous bead or dots of adhesive on the substrate, press panels firmly within the pot life window, then hold in position using mechanical support or spacers for at least 12–24 hours during initial cure.

Q11. What is the full cure time? A11. MR. JO Tecbond‑X reaches its maximum strength in 24 hours at room temperature. In cooler conditions, full cure may take up to 48 hours.

Q12. Can it be sanded or drilled after curing? A12. Yes. Once fully cured, it can be sanded, ground, drilled, or machined, facilitating finishing or adjustments just like a cured epoxy paste.

Q13. Is it waterproof once cured? A13. Yes, it forms a durable, moisture-resistant bond capable of handling indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Consider surface treatment for direct exposure to rain or continuous water contact.

Q14. What safety precautions should be taken? A14. Wear gloves and eye protection during mixing and application. Work in a ventilated area. Wash hands after handling, and clean tools before curing sets in.

Q15. What if the adhesive doesn’t cure properly or remains tacky? A15. This usually indicates improper mixing or incorrect ratios. Ensure accurate weighing, thorough mixing, and proper ambient temperature management (20–30 °C).
