Traditerm Ceramic
Two-component high-performance adhesive for applying ceramic in the WalAce CERAMIC (EIFS) System. No sagging and excellent initial adhesion. It has a high open time, allowing the rectification of parts. This adhesive mortar for insulation systems is highly deformable
Additional information
Composition
Two-component product composed of mineral binders, selected aggregates, and resins in dispersion.
Features and applications
- Ceramic application over WalAce CERAMIC (EIFS) System.
- For installing ceramic over the WalAce CERAMIC (EIFS) System
- Non-slip. Excellent initial bonding.
- Long open time, allows for the repositioning of tiles.
- Highly Deformable. Type S2.
Substrates
- External thermal insulation system WalAce CERAMIC (EIFS).
- The base coat of the system to be treated with ceramic, must have been previously cured for at least 48 hours.
- In case of hot or windy weather conditions it is advisable to wet the substrate and wait until the thin layer of water disappears.
Instructions for use
- At least 48 hours after applying the last WalAce MORTAR base coat, the ceramic is applied to the system with Traditerm CERAMIC adhesive.
- The Traditerm CERAMIC adhesive product consists of two components: a bag of mortar and a container of liquid resin, which must be mixed mechanically in its entirety without any other additives, until a uniform consistency has been obtained.
- Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and remix.
- Spread the mixed product onto the substrate (WalAce CERAMIC (EIFS) System) with a trowel to a maximum surface area of 1 m2.
- Spread with a notched trowel to adjust the thickness (see chart).
- With the aid of a trowel, spread the product over the surface of the ceramic tile (using the double bonding technique).
- Lay the tiles, pressing and moving them to ensure total and correct adhesion to the grooves and correct adhesion with the entire surface.
- Respect the construction joints:
- Expansion Joints.
- Partitioning Joints – Carry out every 3 vertical metres and 4 horizontal metres. Subsequently seal with a neutral and elastic filler for sealing and bonding.
- Joints between tiles – Minimum thickness of 4 mm. After at least 24 hours after fixing the tiles, grout with the colured and waterproof mortars for patching ceramic coatings.
