Evitacol Grey Porcelaine

High-Performance Cement-Based tile Adhesive C1TE

High slip resistance

For laying porcelain ceramics

High setting time

Cement-based tile adhesive, classified as C1TE in accordance with Standard UNE-EN 12004. The adhesive develops strong bond strength and excellent slip resistance guaranteed by the quality of its chemical bonding materials and additives.

The technology used in Evitacol Grey Porcelaine C1TE adhesive gives the product an appropriate rheology as well as a reduced slip, as a result of the copolymers incorporated in the mixture. Evitacol Porcelánico C1TE is available in 25 kg paper bags with moisture-proof plastic lining, dispatched on shrinkwrapped pallets weighing a total of 1,600 kg (64 bags).

Aplicaciones

Tiling indoor floors and walls and outdoor floors using ceramic tiles of medium / high / low porosity. Suitable for laying all types of ceramic tiles. Suitable for laying marble, “gresite” vitreous paste and porcelain tiles. A double glue technique should be used for tiles larger than 900 cm² (30 cm x 30 cm).

Application Surfaces

Conventional surfaces and cement-based mortar floors and walls. The application surface must be hard, perfectly set and free from dust, paint, oil, etc.

Instructions

Add water and mix by hand or mechanically until you obtain a smooth paste of a workable consistency.

Leave the paste to stand for 5 minutes and mix again before applying.

Spread the paste on the surface in sections of a surface area no larger than 2 m², combing with a suitable trowel. If double gluing is required, spread the mixture over the back of the tile as well.

Put ceramic tiles on top of the freshly laid adhesive, pressing lightly to ensure that the whole tile surface comes into contact with the adhesive, filling any grooves.

Leave a joint of a width of at least 1,5 mm between indoor tiles and at least 5 mm between outdoor tiles. Wait 24 hours before grouting wall tiles and 48 hours before grouting floor tiles.

Respect all perimeter and structural joints. Place one partition joint every 50 m² for indoor floor tiling, and one every 30 m² for outdoor floor tiling.

Warnings and Recommendations

Do not apply this product when frost or rain are forecasted
Do not apply at temperatures below 5 ºC or above 35 ºC
In extreme weather conditions (wind or high temperatures), the product will dry more quickly than usual. This will result in a shorter open time
In high temperatures, windy conditions or if the application surface is very absorbent, it is advisable to moisten the surface and wait for the film of water to disappear before applying the product

Check periodically that a surface film has not formed on the adhesive paste once it has been spread onto the surface. If a film is formed, remove the product and apply a fresh coat
Check that the paste is sticky enough by periodically lifting one of the tiles already in place to ensure that it is well stuck down
Use within a year of date of packaging. Store the product in its original packaging in a dry, covered place protected from humidity
