SikaCeram®-100
SikaCeram®-100 is a good performance, thin layer, cementitious tile adhesive, supplied ready to use with the addition of water, for bonding ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and mosaics on floors and walls. SikaCeram®-100 is a cementitious adhesive (C) with improved adhesion (1), and extended open time (E).
- Easy to use with good workability and consistency
- Good adhesion to most common substrates (concrete, cementitious mortar, stone, bricks, etc.)
- Compatible with Sikalastic®-1 KMY, SikaTop® Seal-107 and SikaTop® Seal-109 MY
- Can be used with SikaLatex® SP or Sika ViscoBond®-108 to increase performance of the adhesive
Utilisation
SikaCeram®-100, is a product used for bonding ceramic tiles in continuous thin layers, up to 10 mm thick. Due to its good adhesion, it can be used in situations where traditional tile adhesives for bonding tiles are not suitable due to the type of tile, the substrate or the specific job situation or location. SikaCeram®-100 is suitable to bond:- Ceramic, porcelain, homogeneous tiles
- All type of low and high absorption tiles
- Concrete and mortar
- Bricks with render
- Interior painted walls - if the paint coating is well bonded and sound
Avantages

Consommation
This depends on the level, profile and surface roughness of the substrate, the size of the tiles and the technique of placing (simple placing or "back"-buttering).
As a guide, in kilos of powder per m² in flat surfaces:
| Mosaics and small tiles | 2.0–4.5 kg/m² |
| Normal tiles (200 mm x 200 mm) | 4.5–9.0 kg/m² |
* This may only serve as a guideline. It is highly recommended to carry-out trials on site to determine the actual coverage.
MÉLANGE
Mix thoroughly with clean water for a minimum of 3 minutes.
Leave material to stand in container (for a minimum 5 minutes). Then remix the material for 15 seconds - the product is now ready for use.
SikaCeram®-100 must be mechanically mixed using a forced action mixer or in a clean container using a drill and mixing paddle (< 500 rpm). A normal free fall concrete mixer is not suitable.
APPLICATION
SikaCeram®-100 is applied using a notched trowel onto the substrate. Choose the size of trowel that will give the right thickness on the back of the tile.
As a guide:
SikaCeram®-100 is used for fixing absorbent tiles below size of 3 600 cm² (e.g. 60 cm x 60 cm) for indoor floors, and up to 900 cm² (e.g. 30 cm x 30 cm) for outdoor paving.
Apply a uniform layer of SikaCeram®-100 by trowel in small areas at the recommended thickness. Then, immediately, adjust the thickness using a notched trowel. Finally, place the tile, pressing it firmly into the mortar.
Open time is approximately 30 minutes under normal temperature and humidity conditions. Under unfavourable conditions, the open time might be shorter. If a surface film has developed, pass a notched trowel through the applied adhesive.
Once the surfaces have been prepared in accordance with the above recommendations, apply the adhesive onto the substrate using an appropriate serrated trowel. SikaCeram®-100 should be applied onto the substrate at a rate of 1 m² at a time. Application rates greater than this can result in the adhesive skinning before the tiles are laid. Once the adhesive is applied onto the substrate ensure that it does not skin prior to bedding the tiles. If skinning has occured, rework the adhesive before placing the tiles within pot life. When placing the tiles into the adhesive, press them in by using the Tarver Method; press, slide perpendicular and return. Ensure no air is trapped and full coverage of the adhesive is under the tiles. For tiles with lugs, grooves or uneven backing, back-buttering the tile with adhesive may be required. The final bed thickness of the adhesive should be at least 3 mm. Once the tiling works are completed do not disturb the tiled surface for at least 6–8 hours (at 20 °C).
NETTOYAGE DES OUTILS
