Application Details
Application Method / The substrates have to be thoroughly watered and damp wet prior to

Tools application.
Mix water with SikaCeram -150

Composition :
Water : powder = 4 - 5 lt : 20 kg (By weight )
Water : powder = 1 : 3 (By volume)
Wait for 10 minutes, then mix again.

Apply with tooth trowel.

Proceed to apply (no need to immerse the tile prior to apply).

SikaCeram-150 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:
 For mosaics up to 5 x 5 cm, use a 3 mm notched trowel
 For normal ceramic tiles (< 200 x 200), use a 6 mm notched trowel
 For large tiles, use a 9 mm notched trowel
 For tiles larger than 300 x 300 or for stringent requirements (i.e. the tiles
are to be polished, exposed to heavy loads, etc.), a buttering technique
must be used
Apply a uniform layer of SikaCeram-150 by trowel in small areas at the
recommended thickness. Then, immediately, adjust the thickness using a
notched trowel. Finally, place the ceramic tile, pressing it firmly into the
mortar.
Open time is approximately 15 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.
Consumption For floor and wall application :

4 m2 per 20 kg bag (based on 3 mm thickness)
Only for floor application :

1 m2 per 20 kg bag (based on 12 mm thickness)
For application more than 20 mm thickness, add 3 mm coarse aggregate

with max. 30% by weight of powder.
Substrate Preparation Concrete surface must be clean, sound, level and uncontaminated by oil
or grease Remove cement laitance, formwork traces and loosely adhering
particles by sand blasting or high pressure water jetting. Absorbent
