Pegoland^® Profesional Porcelánico C2 TE

Composition

Product based on high resistance cement, selected synthetic resins, special fibers and the latest technology additives. that provide a an excellent grip strength, workability and  resistance to ageing.

Features and applications

• Excellent  workability and pure whiteness.
• Improved to provide high stability and an excellent performance.
• Creamy thixotropic material.
• Technologically advanced, compatible with a a large variety of substrates.
• Stable in a wide range of mixing methods.
• High thixotropic efficiency,  improved convenience and lesser effort. Due to its water retention power, there is no need to wet the substrates or pieces beforehand. 
• Product that prevents the suspension of dust particles in the environment.
• Non slip. Excellent initial adherence.
• Low VOC emission
• Extended open time, it allows the correction of the parts involved.
• High humectant capacity .
• Up to 15 mm application thickness, without sagging.
• All kind of ceramic pieces adhesion (double or single fired ceramic, clinker, etc.), porcelain clay, marble, granite and natural stone.
• Exterior and interior application.
• Compatible with underfloor radiant flooring and overlaying in interior. Swimming pools' cladding.
• Suitable for pavements with intense traffic.
• Suitable for up to 40 x 40 cm pieces in exterior claddings, and up to 3 m high.

Substrates

• Conventional substrates based on cement, plaster, or anhydrite without a primer being required.  
• Suitable for fixing works on all types of plasterboard drywalls, large format clay brick, concrete, aerated concrete, fibre-cement, plaster based bricks or mortars and self-levelling pastes.
• Floor coverings such as marble, granite, terrazzo, natural stone and all types of tiles.
• Do not apply on painted surfacesSubstrates must be resistant, stable, sound and clean, free of dust, demolding agents, organic products, etc.
• All substrates must have the appropriate flatness (maximum deviation tolerance of ±3 mm measured under a 2 metre ruler).  If it is not the case, smooth down up to 5 mm with the same product 48 hours prior to bonding.  If a higher thickness is required the following is recommended:
  •  On screeds: use NIVELAND 10R or  PAVILAND RECRECIDO AUTONIVELANTE, according to the substrate and requirements.
  •  On claddings: use  cladding 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 until the thin layer of water disappears.
• On outdoor flooring, substrates must have a gradient equal or superior to 1%.

Instructions for use

• Add water 25-30% (approx. 5,0-6,0 liters per 20 kg bag) and mix it manually or mechanically until obtaining a homogeneous and workable consistency. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and remix it. 
• Spread the mixed product onto the substrate  with a  trowel covering to a maximum surface area of  2m².
• Periodically check the stickiness of the adhesive by lifting a previously placed tile. If you can see a film without transfer on the surface of the adhesive or the drying of the adhesive, remove the material and re-apply the product.
• 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, contraction, sealing, corner joints) and placing between bricks (minimum 2 mm inside and 5 mm outside).
• Joints can be sealed after 24 hours  in vertical parameters and 48 hours in pavements. Use a suitable mortar from the MORCEMCOLOR RANGE, according to the type of joint.

NOTE: For better results lay tiles as soon as possible after spreading  the product.

Cautions and recommendations

• Do not apply below 5ºC or 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 (Pumalastic-PU).
• 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 (we recommend the use of PUMALASTIC RANGE of products)
• 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.
• 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.
• On top of ceramic pavements (tiles overlaying ), remove badly adhered pieces and fill the gaps with mortar the day before the fixing work is performed.
• 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..
• When dealing with slate, use  PEGOLAND FLEX RECORD or PEGOLAND PROFESIONAL FLEX ELITE.
• For elements reinforced with fibreglass meshing on the back, please consult our technical department.
• Pieces that may get stains due to their high water absorption should be placed using fast drying adhesives. Use  PEGOLAND FAST FLEX C2FTE S1.
