Mixing ratio

Add about 7.25 -7.5 liters clean potable water to a 25 kg bag. Mix mechan-
ically using a forced action mixer or slow speed drill (< 500 rpm) and mix-
ing paddle for at least 3 minutes until a homogeneous mix, free of lumps is
achieved. Do NOT use a normal free fall concrete mixer. Do not mix more
material than can be used within the open time. Leave material to stand in
mixing container until the majority of bubbles have dispersed (minimum
10 minutes). Then remix the material for 15 seconds – the product is now
ready for use. If open time is exceeded or the adhesive dries prematurely,
remove tiles and re-apply using fresh material

Fresh mortar density

About 1.9 kg/litre when wet mix at 250C

Layer thickness

Minimum 2mm
Maximum 5mm

Ambient air temperature

Minimum: +8°C
Maximum: +40°C

Substrate temperature

Minimum: +8°C
Maximum: +35°C

Open Time

25 Minutes

Curing time

Before jointing / grouting works - Min 8 hours
Before opening to light foot traffic - Min 24 hours
Before opening to full traffic - Min 14 days

Adjustability time

Once the tiles are set into the mortar, they can be adjusted for up to ap-
proximately 30 minutes (at +25°C)
Consumption

Consumption

The consumption depends on the surface profile and roughness of the
substrate and the placing technique (simple placing or back-back-“butter-
ing”). One 25 kg bag will cover approximately 5 – 7 m2
Application steps

APPLICATION

Apply Sika®Ceram-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. 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.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

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