Pegoland^® Porcelánico Flexible C2 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 all types of ceramic pieces, porcelain stoneware, marble, granite, and natural stone.
• Product recommended for grinding.
• Swimming pool renders.
• Suitable for intense traffic pavements.
• Suitable for placing larger side pieces of less than 30 cm on renders up to a height of 1.5 m.

Substrates

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 2m². 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 formats greater than 900 cm², on floors for commercial or industrial use. If there is underfloor heating, in the laying of ceramic tiles, 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, strong. 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 the movement joints (structural, contraction, expansion, and perimeter joints) as indicated in section 7.8 of UNE 138002 standard. These joints can be addressed by using prefabricated joints or filling them with an elastic sealant from the PUMALASTIC range.
   

Dimensioning of expansion joints

Dimensioning of perimeter joints

• On underfloor heating, apply when the substrate is at room temperature (between 5ºC and 30ºC). In floors with underfloor heating, it must be turned off at least 48 hours in advance and it must be turned on gradually after at least 7 days from the installation of the flooring and the grouting operation.
• 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.
• On drywall applications, make sure the substrate is well fixed to prevent movement.
• Remove any spare or bad adhered pieces on ceramic floors and fill the gaps with mortar one day before the actual application of the product. Make sure the old ceramic is free from greases or waxes, if necessary, mill the surface until the old pottery loses its shine. In case of doubt, carry out a preliminary test to establish the suitability of the solution provided.
• Use a PEGOLAND PROFESIONAL range adhesive for gypsum-based substrates, avoid old gypsum or weak plaster.
• Use PEGOLAND FLEX RECORD or PEGOLAND PROFESIONAL ELITE for slate.
• For pieces with fibreglass mesh reinforcement glued on the back, consult technical department.
