Substrates

• Cement base conventional substrates.
• Suitable for any kind of laminated plasterboard.
• Marble, granite, terrazzo, natural stone and all kinds of ceramic substrates in interior and exterior flooring and interior claddings.
• Do not apply on top of paint.
• Substrates must be resistant, stable and sound. They must be clean and free of dust, remains of release agents, organic products, micro-organisms, etc.
• All substrates must have a suitable flatness. If this is not the case, make screeds of up to 5 mm with the same product 48 hours before gluing.
  • For greater thicknesses use:
  • - On floors: levelling paste or screed mortar, depending on the substrate or need.
  • - On walls: mortars with an adequate tensile strength and completely cured (with drying shrinkage already complete).
• In case of heat, wind or very absorbent substrates, it is convenient to moisten the substrate and wait for the water film to disappear.
• On outdoor pavements, the substrate must present a slope equal to or greater than 1%.
• Do not apply on gypsum, plaster, anhydrite or other substrates that may have a high sulphate content, or in contact with water or moisture with a high sulphate content. sulphate content, or in contact with water or humidity with a high sulphate content. - All substrates must comply with the specifications in section 6.4 of the UNE 138002 standard.

Instructions for use

• Add water (17% - 21%) and mix manually or mechanically until getting a homogeneous and easy to work with consistence.
• Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes and mix again.
• Spread the kneaded product on the substrate with a trowel to a maximum area of 2m².
• Comb the area with a notched trowel to adjust the thickness (See Table).
• Place the pieces on the fresh adhesive, pressing and moving until the grooves are fully flattened and the entire surface of the ceramic adheres correctly. Periodically check the stickiness of the adhesive by lifting a previously placed tile, if you notice the appearance of a film without transfer on the surface of the adhesive or dehydration of the adhesive, remove the material and apply a new product.
• Tile installation by double glue-down installation method in exteriors, for tiles with a side exceeding 45 cm, in commercial or industrial use, if there is underfloor heating, when laying tiles with a side of more than 45 cm.45 cm, in commercial or industrial flooring, if there is underfloor heating, when laying ceramic tiles, if levelling systems are used, or if the tiles have such a relief that it is difficult for them to be laid. when laying ceramic laminates, if levelling systems are used or if the tiles have a relief such as to make good contact with the adhesive difficult. good contact with the adhesive.
• Respect the tile-to-tile joints as indicated in section 7.7 of the standard UNE 138002. In interiors and swimming pools joint width ≥ (1.5 - 3) mm and in exteriors joint width ≥ (3 - 5) mm, depending  on the type of installation and the larger side of the tile to be laid.
• Filling of the joints will be carried out 24 hours after in vertical parameters and 48 hours after in pavements. Use suitable joint products, according to the type of joint.

NOTE: The shorter the time between combing and laying the tile, the better results will be obtained.

Maximum weight of parts on vertical surfaces: 60 kg/m²

Cautions and recommendations

• The durability of the ceramic tile installation can only be ensured through a prior plannification. We therefore recommend consulting the national standards in force in each country, such as UNE 138002, BS 5385-2, DIN 18515-1 or UNI11493. These standards contain specifications for the selection of materials, correct planning, use and installation, in order to achieve the required levels of quality, performance and durability.
• Do not apply bellow 5ºC nor above 35ºC.
• Do not apply the product with risk of frost, rain, strong winds or direct sun.
• Never apply with the technique known as "by points".
• Temperatures, ventilation, absorption of the substrate and coating materials can vary the workability and setting times of the adhesive.
• Under extreme weather conditions (very windy or high temperatures) drying occurs faster than normal.
• Tiled areas of walls and floors above 50 m² indoor and 30 m² outdoor or elongated more than 15 linear m it is recommended to divide them with joints filled with a deformable grout among PUMALASTIC range.
• It is advisable to leave a free perimeter expansion joint between the flooring and the wall or pillar, hidden by the skirting board, of approximately 5 mm. These joints should be filled with a deformable material.

Dimensioning of expansion joints

Dimensioning of perimeter joints

• On floors with underfloor heating, apply when the substrate is at room temperature (between 5ºC and 30ºC).
• Underfloor radiant heating floors must be turned off at least 48 hours before and the ignition must be carried out gradually after at least 7 days from the installation of the pavement and the grouting operation.
• Swimming pools can be refilled 7 days after the adhesive has been applied.
• The watertightness of the swimmingpool must be guaranteed by the underlying structure.
• In applications on laminated plasterboard walls, check that the substrate is well fixed to prevent 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.
• On facades and exterior cladding installations,it is recommended to follow the instructions of the local standards in force or reference standards such as UNE 138002, BS 5385-2, DIN 18515-1 or UNI11493, among others. Following these instructions and standards, in facades and exterior cladding Pidilite Puma recommends the installation with mixed anchoring: adhesive and mechanical fastening, when any of the following conditions are met: format greater than 2,400 cm², a piece with one of the sides larger than 60 cm, a weight superior to 40 kg/m², or an application above 3m high.
• For pieces reinforced with fibreglass mesh glued on the backside, consult the technical department.
• Refrigerated chambers must be turned off until the correct curing of the adhesive occurs, at least 7 days depending on environmental conditions.
• Tiles that might get stains due to their high-water absorption should be placed with a fast-setting adhesive.
