Tradicol® CE
Special tile adhesive with additives, thixotropic, for tiling jobs on very uneven walls or floors (thick bed tile adhesive). No need for a previous plaster smoothing coat. Indoor application.
Suitable for bonding ceramic tiles with a medium-high absorption rate.
Additional information
Technical Caracteristics
Product based on high resistance cement, selected aggregates and additives.
Advantages and Uses
- To be applied indoors.
- Suitable for ceramic tiles with a medium-high absorption rate.
- Non slip. Excellent initial adherence.
- Tile setting according to the traditional method: no need to wet tiles or substrates thanks to its water-retaining capacity.
- It reduces tolerance to substrate flatness. No need for plastering. Saves of materials and work force.
Suitable Substrates
- Conventional cement and brickwork based substrates.
- Substrates must be resistant, stable, sound and clean, free of dust, demolding agents, organic products, etc.
- 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.
- For additional beddings do not exceed a total of 20mm thickness. Do not apply the tile adhesive before 48 hours.
Application Procedure
- 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.
- Apply as usual making ensuring that the tile well pressed-on. Better results are obtained applying a first thin coat directly on the brick.
- On floorings, apply the product onto the substrate, extending it with a trowel. Use double bonding for large format tiles.
- Observe construction joints (expansion, contraction, fraction, perimeter corner joints) and the joints between the cement slabs (minimum 2mm).
- Wait 24-48 hours before grouting the joints. Use the appropriate mortar from the MORCEMCOLOR range depending on the type of joint.
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.
- Do not apply in areas where water may accumulate.
- On floor areas larger than 30 m2, leave partition joints to be filled with a flexible material.
- 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.
- In order to achieve a perfect setting of the material, avoid stepping on the tiles for 3 or 4 days after its application.
- Maximum weight on vertical surfaces 20 Kg/m2.
