The consumption is dependent on the surface profile and roughness of the substrate as well as on the size of the tiles and the application technique (double‐spreading, in thin‐bed consistency, or single‐Spreading, in flow‐bed consistency).
As a guide, in kilograms of powder per m² : 1.2 kg / m2 /mm of thickness
MIXING:-
- Mix the contents of a 25 kg bag with the required amount of water (as specified above), using an electric mixer and a suitable mixing spiral at low speed, in a clean bucket.
- Do not exceed a mixing speed of 500 rpm as doing so may reduce the final strength of the cured product.
- Mix to obtain a smooth paste free of lumps.
- After mixing, leave the product for 5 minutes, then briefly stir the mixture prior to application. This should result in a very creamy, easily spreadable, and highly thixotropic adhesive.
APPLICATION:-
- SikaCeram-288 H is applied using a notched trowel. The amount of product should be enough to ensure complete wetting of the tile.
- Tiling has to be carried out on fresh adhesive, exerting an adequate pressure to ensure contact with the adhesive to form a full bond. If a surface film has formed on the adhesive, it is necessary to trowel over the previously applied adhesive layer.
- Avoid wetting the adhesive already applied with water.
- To lay tiles sized 900 cm² (e.g. 30 x 30 cm) or larger, the double-spreading (buttering) thin-bed consistency or single-spreading flow-bed consistency techniques of adhesive application is always recommended.
- If the substrate is very porous, if the temperature is high and/or the relative humidity low, it is advisable to dampen the surface. ▪
- Do not leave any standing water.
CLEANING OF TOOLS:-
- Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
- Hardened material can only be mechanically removed.
