SikaCeram®-105

Cementitious powder, Polymer modified binder.

12 months minimum from production date if stored properly in original unopened, sealed and undamaged packaging.

Store in a dry area between 5°C and 35 ºC. Protect from direct sunlight.

≥ 0.5 MPa

26% - 28% (6.5kg - 7.0kg) of water for 25kg product

Minimum 5°C, Maximum 30°C (Substrate).

~ 90 minutes at room temperature

~ 20 minutes at room temperature

The consumption is 3 – 6 kg/m² depending on

• the substrate (flatness, roughness)
• the tiles type (size, thickness, water absorption, porosity)
• gluing method (simple or double)

Add about 6.5 – 7.0 litres clean water to a clean suitable mixing container. Slowly add the SikaCeram®-105 powder and mix for at least 3 minutes until a homogeneous mix free of lumps is achieved. Do not mix more SikaCeram®-105 than can be used within the open time. Do not add extra water or other ingredients after mixing!

Apply SikaCeram®-105 at 3 -10 mm thickness directly to the concrete substrate, using a notched trowel and spread the mortar evenly over the area to be tiled. Cover only an area that can be tiled within 15 - 20 minutes. Press tiles firmly into SikaCeram®-105 with a twisting action to ensure optimum adhesion.

1. Use 6.5 - 7.0 litres of clean water per 25kg bag.
2. Mix well with a slow speed drill (maximum 500rpm).
3. Apply with “V”-notched trowels for small tiles.
4. Apply with square notched trowel for bigger tiles.
5. Place the tiles firmly into the fresh adhesive.

Application and mixing tools should be cleaned with water while material is still fresh. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
