Advantages and Uses

• Reduced slipping, excellent initial adhesion. 
• Long open time, it allows the rectification of pieces.
• Reduces the risk of staining on stone or tile surfaces. Ready for foot traffic after 6 hours.
• For both exterior and interior floors and walls. Suitable for interior and exterior areas, façades.
• Suitable for any kind of ceramic pieces. Especially suitable for installing marble, granite, natural stone, and porcelain stoneware outdoors, as it contains no soluble salts, sets, and dries quickly.
• Adhesion of insulating materials such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), fibreglass or rock wool, sound-absorbing panels, aerated concrete blocks, drywalls, etc.
• Adhesion of large-format pieces, bonding of extensive surfaces with heavy traffic.
• Highly recommended for refurbishment projects where quick commissioning is required (industry, shopping centres, airports, hospitals, etc.).
• Deformable. Type S1 According to EN 12002 Pools rendering.
• Cold storage rooms walls.

Suitable Substrates

• Conventional cement and concrete-base substrates. Suitable for all type of drywall.
• Installation of ceramics on cementitious waterproofing from the MORCEM DRY range. 
• Tiling radiant heating floors and walls.
• Overlays on marble, granite, terrazzo, natural stone, and all types of ceramic substrates for interior and exterior floors and interior walls.
• Substrates must be resistant enough, stable, sound  and clean. 
• Free of dust, release agents, organic products, etc.
• All substrates should have adequate flatness. If this is not the case, make screeds of up to 5 mm with the same product 12 hours before gluing. For a greater thickness apply:
• On 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.
• Do not apply on top of paint.
• In exterior floors, the substrate must have a slope equal or greater than 1%.
• Do not apply on top of gypsum, plaster, anhydrite, or any other substrates with high content of sulphates, or in contact with water or moisten with high content of sulphates.
• All substrates must comply with the specifications outlined in section 6.4 of UNE 138002 standard.

Application Procedure

• Mix the adhesive manually or mechanically with approximately 5-6 litres of clean water per bag until a homogeneous, lump-free paste is obtained.
• Let the paste rest around 5 min. then mix again.
• Spread the kneaded product on the substrate with the help of a trowel on a maximum extension of 2 m².
• Comb the area with a notched trowel to level the thickness (check table).
• Only apply to the surface area that can be filed within the open time allowed by the current weather conditions. For exterior walls, it is recommended that the adhesive grooves be applied horizontally.
• Place the tiles on the fresh adhesive, pressing and moving them until getting a complete smashing of the grooves and the proper adhesion of all the 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.
• Laying of tiles by back buttering method outdoors, for tiles with a bigger to 45 cm side, on floors for commercial or industrial use. If there is underfloor heating, in the laying 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 placed.
• Joint filling can begin after 3 hours. Use a mortar from the corresponding range.Suitable MORCEMCOLOR, considering the type of joint.

NOTE: The shorter the time between combing the adhesive and placing the tiles, the better the adhesion results will be.

Recommendations

• The duration of the 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, intense winds, or direct sunlight. Under extreme weather conditions (high wind or elevated 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.

Expansion joint sizing

Sizing of perimeter joints

• In floors with underfloor heating, it 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. On floors with radiant heating, apply when the substrate is at room temperature (between 5ºC and 30ºC).
• In applications on drywalls, make sure the substrate is well fixed to prevent movement.
• Remove any spare or bad adhered pieces in ceramic pavements 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, conduct a preliminary test to establish the suitability of the solution provided.
• On façades and exterior cladding, the material will always be placed with fasteners 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.
• 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.
• Swimming pools can be refilled 3 days after applying the adhesive. The water tightness of the pool must be ensured by the construction of the pool itself.
• For pieces with fibreglass mesh reinforcement glued on the back, consult technical department.
• Use a PEGOLAND PROFESIONAL range adhesive for gypsum-based substrates, avoid old gypsum or weak plaster.
