CEMBOND
DRY SET MORTAR
DESCRIPTION
CEMBOND is a cementitious powder available in
Grey and White Colors.
RECOMMENDED USES
CEMBOND is a high performance adhesive for
the permanent installation of ceramic, mosaic,
quarry, terrazzo and cement tiles to masonry,
cementitious substrates and dry walls.
ADVANTAGES
l It can be applied directly over substrate in
a single layer ranging in thickness from 2-6
mm
l Good open time.
l High water and impact resistance
l Excellent slip resistance
l Minimum shrinkage
l High bond strength
SPECIFICATION
CEMBOND is manufactured to comply with ANSI
IA 118.1.1976 and B.S. 5980 - 1980.
PREPARATION
Surface Preparation - Substrate surface must
be sound and thoroughly cleaned. It should be free
of oil, wax, dust etc. All loose particles, old wall
paper, paint etc. should be physically removed.
Surfaces - CEMBOND can be applied directly on
cement screeds, concrete or cement mortars.
CEMBOND should not be placed directly over
Gypsum or Gypsum boards.
Mixing - Mix three parts CEMBOND to 1 part
water by volume (5.5 to 6 liter water for each 25
kg bag of Cembond). Mix thoroughly with a slow
speed drill or with a paddle to get a uniform lump
free consistency. Allow the material to stand for 3
- 5 minutes after which it should be re-mixed prior
to application.
During hot weather, use cold water to increase the
open time.
APPLICATION
For ceramic tiles apply CEMBOND using a flat
trowel at a thickness of 3mm and comb with a
notched trowel. Apply the tiles immediately. Back
butter large tiles and apply with a sliding motion.
Strainghten the tiles immediately to avoid breaking
the bond. For quarry and cement floor tiles, spread
the required setting bed in the conventional manner
to get 2 - 3 mm thickness, apply the tiles
immediately and hammer gently with a soft mallet
to assume a better bond. Apply only to areas which
can be tiled in the adhesives open wet time,
