Tradicol^® CE

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.
