Usage: SikaCeram 200 is primarily used for the installation of ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles in a variety of environments. Its primary applications include:

• Bonding tiles in residential and commercial projects, such as kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and hallways.
• Suitable for both floor and wall installations.
• Ideal for areas with moderate to high moisture exposure, such as showers, kitchens, and outdoor areas.
• Can be used on a variety of substrates, including concrete, cementitious screeds, plaster, gypsum board, and other commonly used building materials.
• Suitable for medium to large format tiles, as well as mosaic tiles.

Application:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, or any loose material. If necessary, prepare the surface by repairing any imperfections or smoothing out rough areas.
2. Mixing the Adhesive: Mix SikaCeram 200 with clean water to form a smooth, lump-free paste. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended mixing ratio and stir the adhesive thoroughly to ensure consistency. Use a mechanical mixer for best results.
3. Applying the Adhesive: Apply the adhesive to the prepared substrate using a notched trowel. Spread the adhesive evenly and apply enough to cover the surface before placing the tiles.
4. Tiling: Press the tiles firmly into the adhesive bed, ensuring they are properly aligned and level. Tap gently to ensure complete coverage and adhesion.
5. Drying Time: Allow the adhesive to set for 24 to 48 hours, depending on ambient temperature and humidity, before grouting or applying any weight to the tiles.
6. Clean-Up: Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with water. Once the adhesive has set, it becomes more difficult to clean off.
