SHELF LIFE:
Sealed bags are guaranteed to be 12 months if stored at between 5℃ to 40℃.
HOW TO APPLY:
Surface Preparation:
All surfaces should be between 4°C and 32°C and structurally sound, clean and free of all laitance, dirt, oil, grease, loose peeling paint, concrete sealers or curing compounds.
Dry, dusty concrete slabs or masonry should be dampened and excess water swept off. Installation
may be made on a damp surface. New concrete slabs shall be cured and 28 days old before application. Latex Portland cement mortars do not require a minimum cure time for cement slabs. All substrates must be plumb and true to 5 mm in 3 m when measured from the high point. Expansion joints shall be provided through the tile work, over all construction or expansion joints in the substrate. Do not cover expansion joints with adhesive.
Mixing:
Place potable water into a clean pail and add C2TE tile adhesive powder. Mix by hand or with a slow speed mixer to a smooth, even consistency. Use approximately 4.8 – 5.0 litre of water per 20 kg bag. Allow adhesive to slake for 3 – 5 minutes. Remix without adding any more water or powder.
Application:
Apply adhesive to the substrate with the flat side of the trowel, pressing firmly to work into surface. Comb on additional adhesive with the notched side.
Joint Treatment
Grout after a minimum of 24 hours curing at 23°C or when dry
Exterior Application:
YY-315H2 water borne epoxy grout or YY-312 sanded cement based grout are recommended
Interior Application:
YY-315H1/315H2 epoxy grout or YY-315 smooth unsanded cement based grout are recommended.
Test area to ensure proper filling as narrow veneers and wide gaps behind the veneer may not allow for joint filling with an epoxy or cement grout.
Note: Control, expansion or other movement of joints must be treated with a flexible sealant.
Tile on Tile work
Existing ceramic tile must be firmly bonded to rigid floor construction. Tiled surfaces to receive tile must be prepared; shiny and highly glossed glazes should be removed by scarification; always cleaned to remove grease, wax, oil or any other contamination that will inhibit bond; clean with alkaline solutions like Tri-sodium Phosphate (TSP) or electric dishwasher powder and hot water after surface preparation (follow cleaning agent manufacturers safe use instructions) as required and rinsed with clean water and allowed to dry after cleaning.
Work a continuous skim coat into the surface, nominally 1.5 mm thick, of adhesive and vigorously work into the surface before combing additional adhesive over the skim coat using the appropriate sized trowel to suit the bedding requirements of the tile or panel.
Cleaning
Clean tools and tile work with water while adhesive is fresh.
Cold Weather Note
The setting of Portland cement adhesives, mortars and grouts are retarded by low temperatures. Protect finished work for an extended period when installing in cold weather.
Hot Weather Note
The evaporation of moisture in Portland cement adhesives, mortars and grouts is accelerated by hot, dry conditions. Apply to dampened surfaces and protect freshly spread adhesive and finished work when installing in temperatures over 35°C.
