Substrate requirement

The substrate must comply with the applicable standards, must be solid, free of loose particles, free of dust, paint, residues of demoulding substances and efflorescence. It must be sufficiently rough, dry and evenly absorbent. The surface shall not be frozen or water-repellent. The substrate must be stable in volume.

Substrate preparation

Depending on the water absorption of the substrate and climatic conditions, the following steps may be required: use Cemix 2613 PRIMER on absorbent substrates and roughen smooth substrates.

For uneven substrates, follow this installation procedure: apply the adhesive to the substrate according to the instructions and also to the back of the tile. Smooth out any irregularities in the substrate using suitable Cemix materials and allow it to dry and cure. The substrate must comply with applicable regulations, standards, or the material manufacturer’s recommendations.

Preparation of the mixture

Pour 25 KG of CEMIX 8265 TILE ADHESIVE XXL FLEX into 8,125 - 8,5 l of clean water. Mix for 5 minutes with a slow-speed paddle mixer to a homogeneous mixture without lumps. Leave to rest for 3 minutes. Then mix again briefly. Use suitable machinery when processing by machine.

Processing instructions

Apply a thin contact layer to the substrate with the straight edge of the stainless steel trowel. Then apply the adhesive in 3-12 mm layer thickness with a notched trowel in one direction.
Lay the tiles and adjust them within 20 minutes open time. In case the open time is exceeded, do not tile anymore. The applied adhesive must be removed in this case.
In case of uneven substrates use buttering floating process : Apply adhesive as described also on the reverse side of the tile.
Immediately remove fresh adhesive residues from the tiles using a sponge and clean water.

Treatment after application

Non-absorbent tiles prolong the curing period.
Avoid sun, heat, humidity and draughts. Protect from frost. Direct heating of the surface is not permitted.

Tool and cleaning instructions

After finishing work, wash the tools immediately with clean water. Remove dried residues mechanically.
Smaller deposits can be removed with acetic (diluted acetic acid) or a special cement paint cleaner.
