Substrates

• Conventional substrates based on cement, gypsum or anhydrite in which primers are not required.
• Ceramic installation on interior floors and walls with radiant heating floors.
• Installation of ceramics on cementitious waterproofing from the MORCEM DRY range.
• All types of plasterboard partitions (PYL type), large-format ceramic brick, concrete, cellular concrete, fibre-cement, gypsum board, self-levelling mortars and pastes.
• Overlay on marble, granite, terrazzo, natural stone and all types of ceramic substrates for interior and exterior flooring and interior walls.
• 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 tolerance deviation of ± 3mm measured under a 2-meter straight edge). 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 screeds: NIVELAND 10R o PAVILAND RECRECIDO AUTONIVELANTE levelling paste, according to substrate and need.
  •   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 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 32-40% of water (approx. 4.8 - 6.0 litres per each 15 kg sack) and mix manually or mechanically until getting a homogeneous and workable consistency.
• 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 m^2.
• 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 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.
• Installation of tiles by back buttering method outdoors, for tiles with more than 45 cm2 sides, 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. This depends 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 MORCEMCOLOR range mortar 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 installation of ceramic tiles 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 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.

Expansion joint sizing

Sizing of perimeter joints

• On façades and exterior walls, 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.
• For façades, when placing the upper row of tiles on the crown, it is advisable to apply the adhesive with grooves horizontally to prevent water that may eventually enter the system from descending through 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.
• On floors with radiant heating, apply when the substrate is at room temperature (between 5ºC and 30ºC). 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.
• In applications on plasterboard partitions, 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.
• 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 7 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 PEGOLAND® PROFESIONAL ELITE C2 TE S2 or PEGOLAND FLEX RECORD for slate.
• Pieces that can get stained due to their high-water absorption must be placed with fast-setting adhesives. Use PEGOLAND FAST FLEX C2FTE S1.
