MASTER C1TE Ceramic Adhesive 20 KG, WHITE

DESCRIPTION
A cement-based adhesive mortar with reduced slip properties and extended open time. It is
classifed as C1TE according to the EN 12004 standard.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
• Floor and wall bonding of all types of ceramic tiles (thin porcelain tiles, single-fired, double-fired,
clinker, bricks, etc.)on cementitious renders , and cementitious screeds and concrete.
PROPERTIES
• Allows installation of tilesfrom top towards the bottom.
• Easily trowelable.
• Perfect adherence.
• Extended open time.
PREPARATION AND SUBSTRATES
• The surface to be applied must be cleaned of dust, dirt, formwork oil,
and paint that may prevent adhesion.
• Cracked plasters and weak surfaces that cannot support themselves should be scraped off.
• Damaged surfaces and cracks should be repaired with suitable HG MORTAR F or
HG MORTAR T repair mortars.
• Depending on the absorbency of the surface, it should be primed
with TP or TILE PRIMER before application.
• For better adhesion on fair-faced concrete surfaces, the surface should be primed
with BETON CONTACT.
APPLICATION
Preparing the mix
20 kg of PANTHERA TA 1040 should be slowly poured into 6,5-7.5 liters of water and mixed with a
low-speed drill until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
The prepared mortar should be left to mature for 5-10 minutes and then mixed again for 1-2 minutes
before being applied to the surface
Applying the mix
Apply PANTHERA TA 1040 to the substrate with a suitable trowel. The selection of the correct trowel
depends on the evenness of the substrate, the size of the tile and the profile of the back.
It is not necessary to wet the tiles before setting. Only when the backs are very dusty is it advisable
to dip the tiles in clean water. Spread the mortar onto the substrate with a notched trowel of which
notch size is appropriate to he tile dimension.
Open time is 30 minutes.Install the tiles whitin this period with a firm pressure. Unfavourable
weather conditions (strong sun, wind, high temperature) may shorten the open time, sometimes
quite drastically, to just a few minutes.
GROUTING AND SEALING
Joints between the tiles can be grouted for Wall after 8 hours and for floor 24 hours with the
specific cementitious or epoxy grouts, available in dierent colours. Expansion joints must be
sealed with the specific sealants.
Consumption
• Approximately 3-4 kg/m2 with a 6 mm notched trowel
• Approximately 2-5 kg/m2 with an 8 mm notched trowel
• Approximately 5-6 kg/m2 with a 10 mm notched trowel
Material requirements depend on the quality of the base surface, tile, and processing method.
Technical Properties
Post-Application Maintenance and Recommendations
