Tradicol^® Exteriores C1 T

Technical Caracteristics

Product based on high resistance cement, selected aggregates, additives and synthetic resins.

Advantages and Uses

• To be applied indoors and outdoors.
• Suitable for all types of ceramic tiles.
• 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.
• In case of greater thickness should be used:
  • On floors: Depending on the particular need use 10R NIVELAND 10 R or PAVILAND RECRECIDO AUTONIVELANTE.
  • On walls: mortars with adequate tensile strength with drying shrinkage already completed.
• Do not apply on clay or on paint.
• On outdoor flooring, substrates must have a gradient equal or superior to 1%.
• 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.
• Place tiles on the fresh adhesive, pressing and with a slight sliding or twisting action to get a good contact of the whole surface of the tile.
• Respect the construction joints (expansion, shrinkage, fraction, perimeter corner joints) and between tiles (minimum of 2 mm inside and 5 mm outside).
• 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.
• In floor tiled areas of more than 30 m² divide with joints filled with a deformable grout among PUMALASTIC range.
• In case of Indoor floor tiled areas larger than 15 m² it is recommended to leave a free perimeter joint between the tiles and the wall or pillar of about 5 mm hidden by the plinth. These joints must be filled with a deformable grout among PUMALASTIC range.
• 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 40 Kg/m²
• On fachades and exterior facings, the material must be secured with mechanical systems.
• In case of tiles reinforced with fiberglass mesh on their back, ask the technical department.
• Do not use the technique known as by globs.
• Working and setting times of the adhesive depend on the temperature, air streams, and the absorption of tiles and substrates.
