    METHOD STATEMENT FOR BOSTIK CERABEST PROFI

    CEMENTITIOUS TILE ADHESIVE – CLASS C2TES1

    This statement is prepared in order to assist the end users in the preparation and application of BOSTIK
    CeraBest Profi, C2TE-S1 class, flexible, water and humidity resistant, TSE certified, cement-based adhesive
    mortar. The product is produced in accordance with EN 12004. It is used for the adhesion of finishing
    materials such as ceramic, porcelain, glazed tile, and mosaic on the floor and walls. The performance and
    procedural information regarding this product are accurate and we will use our best efforts to keep it up.

    A. Product
    CERABEST PROFI

    B. Application Tools & Equipment

    1. Drill mixer fitted with paddle 4. Serrated trowel (notch size depending
    2. Palette knife or spatula on tile size)
    3. Trowel 5. Cleaning pads / rags

    C. Product Delivery & Storage

    Deliver materials to jobsite in sealed, undamaged bags. Each bag shall be identified with material name,
    dates of manufacture / expiry and store in covered/roofed areas.

    D. Surface Preparation

    1. Make sure the substrate has been correctly installed according to relevant standards and
    manufacturer recommendations.
    2. Allow for minimum curing time for new concrete (7 days).
    3. Remove all material that will interfere with bond; these include concrete laitance, oils, grease/wax,
    release agents, curing compounds, dust and any loose material.
    4. Ensure surface is sound; weak or friable material must be removed.
    5. Very porous surfaces and most non-porous surfaces may need priming prior application of the tile
    adhesive. Please consult with Bostik Technical support for further assistance.

    E. Mixing

    One bag of 20 kg powder mixes into 4.8 to 5.2 litres of water:


    1. Add water to bucket.
    2. Mix powder into water with mechanical stirring.
    3. Mix until smooth.
    4. Allow the mixed mortar to stand for 2 - 3 minutes and mix again
    for 2 minutes before using.
    Note: The paste can “wet out” during mixing so make sure that it is mixed sufficiently
    before adding more water. Do not add more water after the initial mixing. Discard
    when the product stiffens in the bucket. Use a drill with suitable mixing paddle designed
    for the task and do not mix by hand.

    F. Application

    1. Apply to the prepared substrate using a notched trowel. Use a 6mm notch for tiles up to
    150x150mm, a 10mm notch for up to 250x250mm and a 12mm notch for 300x300mm tiles. Tiles
    400x400mm and larger should be back-buttered in addition to using a 12mm notched trowel.
    2. Press tiles firmly into adhesive before it skins.
    3. Apply only up to 1m² at a time to avoid skinning.
    4. If skinned, re-spread to expose “wet” adhesive.
    5. Check that at least 80% of the substrate and tile back are in contact with adhesive.
    6. Discard any material that has hardened before use.
    7. Allow adhesive to harden adequately before grouting.

    All workmanship must be carried out in accordance with good


    workmanship practices.

    F. Coverage

    On site coverage will vary widely as it is dependent on a large number of variables. These include but are
    not limited to: application technique, substrate texture, wastage, trowel angle, trowel wear, contact
    coverage and flatness.
    As such the following coverage is intended as a guide only. As such coverage estimates are inaccurate. It
    is advised that comparisons between products are based on the mixed volume.

    G. Tile Grouting

    Use a suitable tile grout (CeraBest Fuga 105 / CeraBest Fuga L) after the tiles appear firm. Use CeraBest
    Fuga L if improved wearand water resistance is required.

    H. Clean Up

    Remove using a wet cloth before the product hardens. If allowed to set, it must be removed
    mechanically.

    I. Health and Safety
