Use and properties
CEKOL Q-5 PRO is a cementitious adhesive (C) with improved technical parameters (2), with reduced slip (T) and extended open time (E), C2TE. The product is intended for tiling marble, granite, stone, and ceramic tiles to mineral substrates. The product is a flexible, frost- and water resistant adhesive for indoor and outdoor use. The product has superior adhesive properties. The product has superior flow-resistance properties thanks to a unique formula, which means that tiles can be applied from top to bottom. Recommended for tiling to standard and heated surfaces. The risk of tile discoloration is reduced by the use of white cement as the bonding agent. The product can be used for skimming and levelling surfaces.
Procedure:
Substrate preparation
The substrate should be clean, compact and free from grease. All residues of emulsion and oil paints and loose grains of sand should be removed with a spatula or a rough brush. Heating can be switched back on after at least 7 days.
Priming
Highly absorbent substrates should be primed with a deep penetrating primer CEKOL DL-80.
Adhesive preparation
The adhesive should be prepared by pouring 1 kg of powder into 0.25 – 0.27 l of water (5 – 5.4 l of water per 20 kg bag), and then thoroughly mixed with a slow-rotating mixer until a uniform consistency is obtained. Wait around 3 minutes and mix thoroughly again. Pot life: around 3 hours.
Application
Apply the adhesive to the prepared substrate with a notched trowel. For outdoor use or for better adhesion in the case of highly absorbent and gres tiles, the CEKOL Q-5 PRO adhesive should be applied in a continuous layer on both the substrate and the underside of the tiles. Heating should be turned off before applying the CEKOL Q-5 PRO adhesive to a heated surface.
