How to Use

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION FOR APPLICATION OF CERESIT CM 14 EXPRESS

CERESIT CM 14 EXPRESS adheres to all clean, solid, load-bearing, even, dry and moist substrates, which are free from substances which can reduce adhesion. Uneven areas or depressions should be levelled before. Substrates must not be wet. Any existing dirt, loose layers and paint coats with low strength must be removed mechanically.

MIXING OF CERESIT CM 14 EXPRESS

Pour the content of the packaging into the measured amount of clean, cool water and mix it with a drill mixer until a homogenous mass without lumps is obtained. It is necessary to wait for 5 minutes (maturing time) and then mix it once again. If necessary, carefully add water until the desired consistency is achieved.

APPLICATION OF CERESIT CM 14 EXPRESS

The adhesive should be applied with a suitable notched trowel, depending on the respective tile size. For indoor use, the mortar coverage (contact area) at the back of the tile must be at least 65 %. For outdoor use, a minimum mortar coverage of 90 % is required.
