Substrates

  • Conventional substrates based on cement, gypsum or anhydrite in which primers are not required.
  • On all types of drywalls (PYL type), large-format ceramic brick, concrete, cellular concrete, fibre-cement, gypsum brick, mortars, and self-levelling pastes.
  • Overlays on marble, granite, terrazzo, natural stone and all types of ceramic substrates for interior and exterior floors and interior walls.
  • Ceramic installation on interior floors and walls with radiant heating
  • Installation of ceramic on cementitious weather resistant systems from the MORCEM DRY range. 
  • Do not apply on top of paints 
  • Substrates must be resistant enough, stable, sound and clean. Free of dust, release agents, organic products, etc.
  • All substrates must have the appropriate flatness (maximum deviation tolerance of ±1.5 mm for low thickness tiles and ±3 mm for the rest measured with a 2-meter ruler). If this is not the case, make screeds of up to 5 mm with the same product 48 hours before gluing. For a greater thickness apply:
    • On bonded screeds: Apply levelling paste NIVELAND 10R or PAVILAND RECRECIDO AUTONIVELANTE depending on the substrate and requirements.
    • On flooring: Use regularization mortars with adequate tensile strength and with a curing shrinkage already completed.
  • In case of heavy heat, wind or very absorbent substrates, it is advisable to moisten the substrate and wait until the water film is totally absorbed.
  • In exterior floors, the substrate must have a slope equal or greater than 1%. 
  • Do not apply in areas in contact with water or high-sulphate content moisture.
  • All substrates must comply with the specifications outlined in section 6.4 of UNE 138002 standard.

Instructions for use

  • Add between 24-29% (approximate 4.8-5.8 litres of water per bag) and mix manually or mechanically until getting a homogeneous and workable consistency.
  • Let the paste rest around 5 min. and mix again.
  • Spread the kneaded product on the substrate with the help of a trowel on a maximum extension of 2m2
  • Comb the area with a notched trowel to level the thickness (Check table).
  • Install the tiles on the fresh adhesive, pressing and moving them until getting a complete smashing of the grooves and the proper adhesion of the entire ceramic surface. Periodically check the stickiness of the adhesive by lifting a previously laid tile, if the appearance of a film without transfer on the surface of the adhesive or dehydration of the adhesive is observed, proceed to remove the material and apply a new product.
  • Installation of tiles by double spreading method outdoors, for tiles with a bigger to 45 cm side, on floors for commercial or industrial use. If there is radiant heating in the installation of ceramic tiles, if levelling systems are used or if the tiles have a relief that may interfere the gluing process.
  • Respect the placement joints between tiles as indicated in section 7.7 of UNE 138002 standard. For interior and pool areas, the joint width should be ≥ (1.5 - 3) mm, and for exterior areas, the joint width should be ≥ (3 - 5) mm, depending on the type of installation and the larger side of the tile being installed.
  • Joints should be refilled after 24 hours in vertical parameters and 48 hours after in floors. Use a suitable mortar from the MORCEMCOLOR, taking into account the type of joint.

NOTE: The shorter the time between combing and laying the tile, the better results will be obtained.

Cautions and recommendations

  • The successful completion of ceramic installation can only be ensured through careful planning. Therefore, we recommend consulting the current national standards in each country, such as the UNE 138002 standard in Spain, which provides specifications for material selection, proper planning, use, and installation, to achieve the required levels of quality, performance, and durability.
  • Do not apply in temperatures below 5ºC or above 35ºC, and avoid application in conditions at risk of frost, rain, strong winds, or direct sunlight. Under extreme weather conditions (high wind or high temperatures) drying occurs faster.
  • Temperatures, ventilation, absorption of the substrate and coating materials can vary the workability and setting times of the adhesive.
  • Never apply with the “by dots” technique.
  • Respect the movement joints (structural, contraction, expansion, and perimeter joints) as indicated in section 7.8 of UNE 138002 standard. These joints can be addressed by using prefabricated joints or filling them with an elastic sealant from the PUMALASTIC range.

  • In radiant heating floors, apply when the substrate is at room temperature (between 5ºC and 30ºC). The radiant heating must be turned off at least 48 hours in advance and it must be turned on gradually after at least 7 days from the installation of the flooring and the grouting operation.
  • In cold rooms, these must be kept off until the correct curing of the adhesive occurs for, at least 7 days, depending on environmental conditions.
  • In applications on drywalls, make sure the substrate is well fixed to prevent movement.
  • Remove any spare or bad adhered pieces in ceramic floors and fill the gaps with mortar one day before the actual application of the product. Make sure the old ceramic is free from greases or waxes, if necessary, mill the surface until the old pottery loses its shine. In case of doubt, carry out a preliminary test to establish the suitability of the solution provided.
  • Swimming pools can be filled 7 days after applying the adhesive. The water tightness of the pool must be ensured by the construction of the pool itself.
  • On façades and exterior cladding, the material will always be placed with anchoring or mechanical fixing when any of the following conditions are met: format greater than 2400 cm2, one side of the piece measures more than 60 cm, weight greater than 40 kg/m2 or height greater than 3 meters.
  • On façades when placing the top row of tiles at the top, it will be convenient to apply the adhesive with the grooves horizontally to prevent the water that could eventually enter the system from descending through the vertical grooves, affecting a larger area.
  • Anhydrite screeds must be perfectly dry (maximum residual moisture 0.5%), hard enough and free of dust or superficial grout, in the latter case, it must be removed by sanding.
  • For pieces with fibreglass mesh reinforcement glued on the back, consult technical department. 
  • Pieces that can get stained due to their highwater absorption must be placed with fast-setting adhesives. Use PEGOLAND FAST FLEX C2FTE S1.
