Pegoland^® Especial C1 TE

Composition

High-resistance cement-based product, with selected aggregates, additives and synthetic resins that guarantee high bond strength, excellent workability, and resistance to ageing.

Features and applications

• Reduced slip. Excellent initial adhesion. 
• Long open time, it allows the rectification of pieces.
• Due to its water retention power, there is no need to moisten the substrate. 
• Adhesion of medium to high absorption level ceramic tiles.
• Suitable for interior use and exterior floors.
• Swimming pools renders with glassy mosaics.
• Suitable for the installation of low absorption (≤3%) tiles in interior residential and public pedestrian floors and walls, if the length of the longer side of the tile is ≤30 cm.

Substrates

• Conventional cement-base substrates.
• Suitable for all type of drywall partitions (PYL type).
• Do not apply on top of paint.
• Substrates must be resistant enough, stable, sound, and clean. Free of dust, release agents, organic products, etc.
• All substrates should have adequate flatness. 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 bonded screeds: Apply levelling paste NIVELAND 10R or PAVILAND RECRECIDO AUTONIVELANTE depending on the substrate and requirements.
  • On walls: 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 exterior floors, the substrate must have a slope equal or greater than 1%.
• Do not apply on top of gypsum, plaster, anhydrite, or any other substrates with high content of sulphates, or in contact with water or moisten with high content of sulphates.
• All substrates must comply with the specifications outlined in section 6.4 of UNE 138002 standard.

Instructions for use

• Add water and mix manually or mechanically until getting a homogeneous consistence, easy to work with. 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 m². 
• Comb the area with a notched trowel to level the thickness (check table).
• Place 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.
• Laying of tiles by back buttering method outdoors, for tiles with superior to 45 cm side, 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, depending on the type of installation and the larger side of the tile being placed.
• Joints should be refilled after 24 hours in walls and 48 hours after in floors. Use a suitable mortar from the MORCEMCOLOR range, considering 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 completion of ceramic installation 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, intense winds, or direct sunlight. Under extreme weather conditions (high wind or elevated 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 using the “spot bonding” technique.
• Respect movement joints (structural, contraction, expansion, and perimeter joints) as indicated in section 7.8 of the 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 drywall applications, make sure the substrate is well fixed to prevent movement.
• Use a PEGOLAND PROFESIONAL range adhesive for gypsum-based substrates, avoid old gypsum or weak plaster.
• 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. Pieces that can get stained due to their high-water absorption must be placed with fast-setting adhesives. Use PEGOLAND FAST FLEX C2FTE S1.
• Use PEGOLAND FLEX RECORD or PEGOLAND PROFESIONAL ELITE for slate.
