Pegoland® Especial C1 TE
High performance tile adhesive.Special for its thixotropy and long open time for setting indoor and outdoor ceramic flooring, indoor walls, and baseboards.
Specially recommended for tiling swimming-pools with vitreous mosaic tiles and tiling work on plasterboard (carton-gypsum sandwich panels)
Suitable for bonding ceramic tiles with a medium-high absorption rate, marble, mosaic tiles and glass paste.
Additional information
Composition
Product based on high resistance cement, selected aggregates, additives and synthetic resins.
which give excellent bonding, good workability and resistance to ageing.
Features and applications
- To be applied on indoor and outdoor ceramic flooring, indoor walls, and baseboards.
- Suitable for ceramic tiles with a medium-high absorption rate.
- No need to wet tiles or substrates thanks to its high water-retaining capacity.
- Non slip. Excellent initial adherence.
- Long open time. Allows rectification.
- Resistant to humidity. Swimming pool tiling.
Substrates
- Conventional cement-based substrates.
- Indoor carton-gypsum substrates.
- Substrates must be resistant, stable, sound and clean, free of dust, demolding agents, organic products, etc.
- All substrates must have the appropriate flatness. Otherwise, smooth down up to 5 mm with the same product 48 hours prior to bonding.
- For greater thickness, use traditional dry mortars or levelling paste.
- In case of hot or windy weather conditions or when applying over absorbent substrates, it is advisable to wet the substrate and wait till the thin layer of water disappears.
- Do not apply on clay or on paint.
- On outdoor flooring, substrates must have a gradient equal or superior to 1%.
Instructions for use
- Add water and mix by hand or mechanically until it takes on an even and workable consistency.
- Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and remix.
- Spread the mixed product on the substrate with a trowel to a maximum surface area of 2m2.
- Spread with a notched trowel to adjust thickness (see chart).
- Lay the tiles, press and make small rotation movements to ensure that the glue gets in total contact with both surfaces.
- Observe construction joints (expansion, contraction, fraction, perimeter corner joints) and the joints between the cement slabs (minimum 2mm).
- Joints should be grouted 24 hours after if on vertical surfaces, and 48 hours after if on floorings. Use the appropriate mortar from the MORCEMCOLOR range depending on the type of joint.
NOTE: For better results lay tiles as soon as possible after spreading.

Maximum weight on vertical surfaces: 30 kg/m2
Cautions and recommendations
- Do not apply below 5ºC nor above 30ºC.
- Do not apply when there is a risk of frost, rain, strong wind or direct sunlight.
- Under extreme weather conditions (gusty winds or high temperatures) drying may occur faster.
- On floor areas larger than 30 m2, leave partition joints to be filled with a flexible material (PUMALASTIC-PU).
- On interior floorings larger than 15 m2, it is advisable to keep a free perimeter expansion joint between the floor and the wall or pillar, hidden by a baseboard.
- Check that the gypsum board is firmly fixed before applying on it.
- For plaster based substrates, use PEGOLAND ESPECIAL YESO or PEGOLAND PORCELANICO YESO, avoiding slaked or poor plaster.
- The watertightness of the swimmingpool must be guaranteed by the underlying concrete structure.
