Pegoland Gel S1 C2 TE S1

Composition

Product based on high resistance cement, selected additives and synthetic resins  that provide an excellent grip strength, workability and resistance to ageing.

Features and applications

• Creamy appearance with a high consistency so it requires less effort in its application.
• Excellent workability.
• Non slip. Excellent initial adherence.
• Extended open time, it allows the correction of the pieces.
• Deformable. S1 type according to UNE EN 12002.
• No need to wet tiles or substrate thanks to its high water-retaining capacity.
• All kind of ceramic pieces adhesion (double or single fired ceramic, clinker, etc.), porcelain clay, marble, granite and natural stone.
• Suitable for big format pieces.
• Outdoors and indoors applications. Specially recommended for façades.
• Suitable for the tiling of large areas with intense traffic and floors with radiant heating, cooling chambers and overlapping applications.
• Tiling of swimming pools.
• Tiling works on cement based waterproofing layers.

Substrates

• Conventional cement-based substrates, plaster or anhydrite. No primer required.
• Suitable for tiling on all types of laminated plasterboards,
• Marble, granite terrazzo, natural stone substrates and any type of ceramic in interior or exterior pavements and interior claddings.
• Do not apply it on paint.
• 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. In case of greater thickness should be used:
  • On floors: Depending on the particular need use.
  • On walls: mortars with adequate tensile strength with drying shrinkage already completed.
• 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.
• In exterior pavements the substrate should always have a slope of 1% or above.
   

Instructions for use

• Add water (24%-30%) and mix it manually or mechanically until having a homogeneous and workable consistence.
• Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and mix it again.
• Spread the mixed product on the substrate with a trowel to a maximum surface area of 2m².
• Spread with a notched trowel to adjust the thickness (see chart). 
• Place the pieces on the fresh adhesive, pressing and moving until the grooves are completely crushed and the entire surface of the ceramic is properly adhered, periodically check the stickiness of the adhesive by lifting a previously laid tile, if a non-transfer film appears on the surface of the adhesive, or dehydration of the adhesive, proceed to remove the material and apply a new product.
• Laying the tiles by a double glueing method outdoors, for formats greater than 900cm2, on floors of commercial or industrial use, if there is underfloor heating, when laying ceramic sheets, if using levelling systems or if the tiles have a relief such as that good contact with the adhesive is difficult.
• Respect the construction joints (expansion, shrinkage, fraction, perimeter corner joints) and between tiles (minimum of 2 mm indoors and 5 mm outdoors).
• 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 the tiles as soon as possible after spreading  the product.

Notched-trowel panel

Maximum weight on vertical surfaces: 50 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
• Do not use the technique known as by globs.
• Temperatures, ventilation, absorption of the substrates and covering materials may vary the workability and drying timings of the adhesive.
• Under extreme weather conditions (heavy winds or very high temperatures) the adhesive will experience a quicker drying process.
• On flooring and facings with a surface area greater than 50 m² for interiors, and 30 m² for exteriors, or for elongated areas over 15 lineal metres, it is recommended to leave separation or sealing joints filled with a deformable material.
•  It is advisable to keep a free perimeter expansion joint between the floor and the wall or pillar, hidden by a baseboard (of approximately 5 mm). These joints should be sealed with a deformable material.
• On floorings with underfloor heating, apply when substrate is at room temperature (between 5ºC and 30ºC).
• Underfloor heating systems should be switched off at least 48 hours prior to use and should be switched back on again gradually at least 7 days after installing the flooring and pointing operation.
• Swimming pools can be refilled 7 days after applying the adhesive.
• The water-tightness of a swimming pool must be ensured before using the product on it.
• When using  it on plasterboard, ensure the substrate is fixed well to avoid any movement.
• On ceramic pavements (overlays), remove the badly adhered pieces and fill the gaps with mortar the day before the application of the new tiling. Ensure that the old ceramic is free of traces of fats or waxes, if necessary proceed to the milling of the enameled surface until the loss of brightness of the old ceramic. In case of doubt, make a preliminary test to establish the suitability of the solution provided.
• In façades and exterior areas, the application of the material will always be done with mechanic  fixation, under any of the following conditions: formats superior to 2400 cm², a piece with one of the  sides larger than 60cm, a weight superior to 40 kg/m² , or an application above 3m high.
• For pieces reinforced with fiberglass mesh glued on the back, consult the technical department.
• For use on cooling chambers, these should remain switched off until the correct adhesive curing has been obtained, at least 7 days depending on ambient conditions.
• Anhydrite screeds must be perfectly dry (Maximum residual humidity: 0,5%), hard enough and free from dust or superficial grout which, in this case, should be removed by sanding the area.
• When applying slate pieces use suitable adhesives with greater deformability.
• Pieces that may get stains due to their high water absorption should be placed using fast drying adhesives.
