≥ 1.0 MPa

25% - 27% (6.25kg - 6.75kg) of water for 25kg product

About 1.7 – 1.9 kg/litre when wet mix at 25°C

Minimum 2mm, Maximum 5mm

Minimum 5°C, Maximum 35°C

Minimum 5°C, Maximum 35°C

~ 2 hours at room temperature

~ 20 minutes at room temperature

Before jointing / grouting works

• Floor tiles: Approx. 24 – 36 hours
• Wall tiles: Approx. 4 – 6 hours

Before opening to light foot traffic - Min 24 hours

Before opening to full traffic - Min 14 days

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)

Mix one full bag with the necessary, above mentioned, amount of water, using an electric blender with a suitable mixing spiral at low speed, in a clean bucket, and up to obtain a smooth paste free of lumps. Use a blender at 500 rpm maximum; do not mix at faster rate because of mechanical strength decay of the cured product. After blending, leave the product to stand and 'mature' for 5 minutes in the mixing container and then briefly stir the mix prior to application. The obtained mix results very creamy, easily spreadable and thixotropic

Apply SikaCeram®-200 at 2 - 5 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 - 30 minutes.

• Use 6.25 - 6.75 litres of clean water per 25kg bag. 
• Mix well with a slow speed drill (maximum 500rpm). 
• Apply with “V”-notched trowels for small tiles.
• Apply with square notched trowel for bigger tiles.
• Press tiles firmly into the mortar with a twisting action to ensure optimum adhesion.

Clean all equipment and tools with water immediately after use. Dry hardened material can be removed mechanically.
