TILE AND STONE MORTAR IS A PORTLAND CE- MENT-BASED, POLYMER-MODIFIED MORTAR WITH GOOD BOND STRENGTH AND SAG RESISTANCE AND A 3-HOUR POT LIFE
DCI STRONG S1 high performance, ce- mentitious adhesive with no vertical slip and extended open time for ceramic and porcelain tiles. DCI STRONG S1 is a C2TE P1 class cementitious (C), improved (2), non-slip (T), extended open time (E) adhe- sive. DCI STRONG S1 can be used on walls and floors for thin bed and medium bed installations of tiles and stone material. According ISO 13007 is classified as P1 normal adhesion strength on Plywood.
• For interior and exterior use
• For floors and walls
• For thin-bed and medium bed installa- tions of all types of tiles
• Suitable for installation of large format tiles
• For thicknesses up to 10 mm
• Suitable for application over waterproo- fing products like, Seal Master , Seal Ma- ster Elastic, Aquaprotect, etc.
• Suitable for floor heated substrates enhanced with Latex
• For heavy duty and high traffic areas
• Over existing wall and floor tiles after ap- plication of the suitable primer, DCI Grip Primer or Beton Contact
The support must be totally dried, mecha- nically hard, free of oils, grease, wax, paint, and lose particles. All substrates must not be subject to shrinkage after the instal- lation of the tiles. During the spring and summer period, renders must be cured for at least one week for every centimeter of thickness, and cement screeds must C2TE P1 Go to TDS Via sorte, 2, 24030 Barzana BG, Italy be cured for at least 28 days unless they have been made with DCI special binders for screeds such as Screed 80, Level S10, or with Level S30. Gypsum substrates or anhydrite screeds must be perfectly dry (max. residual moisture 0.5%), sufficiently hard, and free of dust. They must be tre- ated with DCi Grip Primer or Beton Con- tact, while areas subject to high humidity must be treated with PRIMER CTA.
DCI STRONG S1 must be mixed with cle- an water until obtaining a homogenous mixture. After 5-10 minutes of resting, the mix should be mixed again. After this, the product is ready to be used. The water de- mand to be used is approximately 27-29% of DCI STRONG S1 (equal to ca. 6.75 -7.25 liters of water). The mix, produced in this way, is workable for at least 4 hours.
DCI STRONG S1 is applied with a notched trowel onto the substrate. Choose a trowel that will give coverage to the back of the tiles at least 65-70% for walls or indoor li- ght foot traffic. For heavy traffic, the cove- rage must be 100%. To obtain good adhe- sion to the substrate, the following system is recommended: first, apply a thin coat of DCI STRONG S1 using the smooth side of the trowel and immediately after applying the desired thickness of DCI STRONG S1 using the toothed side of the trowel.
It is unnecessary to wet the tiles before installation; however, the backs are very dusty, they should be wiped in clean water. The tiles are installed under firm pressure to ensure good contact with the adhesi- ve. DCI STRONG S1 open time in normal temperature and humidity is 20-30 minu- tes. Unfavorable weather conditions (high temperature, strong sun, drying wind) or high absorbent substrate may shorten the open time and, in some cases quite drastically, to just a few minutes. For this reason, there should be continuous con- trols to see if the adhesive is still fresh to the touch or has formed a surface skin. Should a surface skin have formed, the adhesive should be retroweling. It is ina- dvisable to wet the adhesive when it has formed a skin because a non-adhesive film will be formed instead of dissolving the skin. Adjustment of the tiles, if neces- sary, should be carried out within 60 mi- nutes following installation, after which time adjustment will become problema- tic. Tiling installed with DCI STRONG S1 must not be subject to rain for at least the first 24 hours and must be protected from frost and direct sun for at least 5-7 days after application.
