Concrete surface must be clean,sound,level and uncontaminated by oil or grease. Remove cement latiance, formwork traces and loosely adhering particles by sand blasting or high pressure water jetting. Absorbent substrates must be pre-wetted to saturated surface dry (S.S.D)condition.

• Sika Ceram^® is applied using a notched trowel.
• Apply a sufficient amount of product to ensure complete wetting of the tiles rear.
• Tiling has to be carried out on fresh glue, exerting an adquate pressure to ensure contact with the adhesive, and thus the perfect bonding. In case a surface film is formed on the adhesive, remove the adhesive layer with the flat part of the spatula and apply a fresh layer of adhesive.
