PREPARATION CYCLE ON TILES

Environmental and substrate conditions: before proceeding with the application cycle, check that the tiles are intact and flat, with joints measuring less than 3 mm in width and depth, perfectly clean and degreased. Otherwise, intervene with suitable products and recovery cycles and bring the support to the required conditions. To proceed with the application, the ambient temperature must be between +10°C and +30°C with air humidity lower than 85%. The temperature of the support must be between +10°C and +25°C and the humidity must be less than 3%. The conditions described above are essential for the correct implementation of the cycle: if the required requirements are not met, before proceeding with the application, it is recommended to contact technical assistance.

Preparation of the substrate: wash the tiles perfectly and, if necessary, dewax with suitable products; subsequently go over the surface with denatured ethyl alcohol to eliminate any residual dirt. Proceed with a light sanding with the diamond abrasive trowel and remove dust perfectly. Apply a coat of CeboPrime with a roller, diluted 15-20% by volume with water, taking care to let it penetrate into the joints to regulate its absorption. Wait for CeboPrime to dry (minimum 4 hours) and position the 160-180g net. on the surface, approaching it without ever overcoming it. Apply a second coat of CeboPrime, undiluted, with a roller to fix the mesh to the surface and wait for it to dry (minimum 4 hours). Apply a coat of CeboRasa appropriately mixed with the CeboCem cement-based additive, using the steel Resine Flex trowel; proceed with the application by smoothing the entire surface and avoiding accumulations of material. Wait for CeboRasa to dry completely (minimum 8 hours) and smooth the surface with the diamond abrasive trowel, or with a 40 grit abrasive disc and remove dust. Apply a coat of CeboFix K with a roller or brush, diluted 1:4 with water, to regulate absorption and highlight any imperfections to be corrected before proceeding with the application of CeboSuite F: if the need arises it is possible to apply a further coat of CeboRasa with the same methods used for the first coat.

PREPARATION CYCLE ON SCREEDS

Environmental and substrate conditions: before proceeding with the application cycle, check that the screed has reached complete curing and is intact, uniformly flat, free of dust, perfectly clean and degreased. Otherwise, intervene with suitable products and restoration cycles and bring it to the required conditions. On new screeds where underfloor heating systems are installed it will be necessary to carry out several on and off cycles to allow the screed to settle. To proceed with the application, the ambient temperature must be between +10°C and +30°C with air humidity lower than 85%. The temperature of the support must be between +10°C and +25°C, the humidity must be less than 3%. The conditions described above are essential for the correct implementation of the cycle: if the required requirements are not met, before proceeding with the application it is recommended to contact technical assistance.

Preparation of the substrate: apply a coat of CeboPrime diluted 30-35% by volume with water by roller to consolidate the substrate and wait for it to dry (minimum 2 hours). Place the 160-180 g mesh on the surface, placing it next to it without ever overlapping it and apply a second coat of CeboPrime, undiluted, with a roller to fix the mesh to the surface and wait for it to dry (minimum 4 hours). Apply a coat of CeboRasa appropriately mixed with the CeboCem cement-based additive, using the steel Resine Flex trowel; proceed with the application by smoothing the entire surface and avoiding accumulations of material. Wait for CeboRasa to dry completely (minimum 8 hours) and smooth the surface with the diamond abrasive trowel or with a 40 grit abrasive disc and remove dust. As an alternative to CeboRasa it is possible to use CeboSuite G with CeboRock added, to have a longer processing time.

PREPARATION CYCLE ON WALLS

Preparation of the substrate: before proceeding with the application cycle, check the condition of the support, remove any detachments, swellings or exfoliations from previous paintwork. On new plasters proceed with a light sanding with 40 grit abrasive. Apply a first coat of CeboPrime diluted 35-40% with water with a roller. Once dry (minimum 2 hours), apply a second coat of CeboPrime diluted 15-20% with water with a roller and wait for it to dry (minimum 4 hours) before proceeding with the application of CeboSuite.

APPLICATION CYCLE OF FINISHES

Application of CeboSuite F: on completely dry, sanded and dust-free CeboRasa, apply the first coat of CeboSuite F, colored and mixed with the CeboRock hardening additive, using the steel Resine Flex trowel; proceed with the application with regular spatula strokes, compacting the product to obtain a completely smooth surface. Wait for CeboSuite F to dry completely (8 hours) and smooth the surface with a diamond abrasive trowel or with a 40 grit abrasive disc and remove dust perfectly. Apply the second coat of CeboSuite F in the same way and wait for it to dry completely (minimum 8 hours). Sand the surface as described above and dust perfectly.

Application of CeboModern: on the second coat of dry, sanded and dust-free CeboSuite F, apply the first coat of CeboModern with the Resina Flex steel trowel, proceeding with crossed spatula strokes over the entire surface, compacting the product. After a minimum of 4 hours, apply the second coat in the same way: once dry (minimum 8 hours), proceed with the application of CeboSkil Lucido or Satin.

Application of CeboSkil: before proceeding with the application of CeboSkil, make sure there is no dust and equip yourself with suitable clothing and footwear; after profiling with a brush, apply the first coat of CeboSkil, mixed with CeboCat and diluted 20% by volume with water, with a suitably unloaded short-haired roller or, only on floors, with a polycarbonate trowel following the direction of the drawing. Wait for CeboSkil to dry (minimum 2 hours) and apply the second coat with a roller.

Please note: CeboSkil is available in a matte, satin or gloss finish. If the glossy finish is used, an additional coat of product must be applied. If more than 24 hours pass between one coat and another of CeboSkil it is necessary to sand the surface with a 320 grit abrasive disc. Once CeboSkil has dried, in the presence of imperfections on the matt or satin finishes it is advisable to pass the surface with Scotch Brite end; for glossy finishes, to eliminate imperfections and preserve their shine, it is possible to intervene using abrasive discs with 800/1000/2000/4000 grit in sequence, taking care to replace them if they are worn.

From the end of the application the surfaces are:

• walkable after 2 days

• perfectly washable with water, neutral detergents and a well-wrung cloth after 7 days

• mechanical and chemical resistance is obtained 10 days after the end of the application

• complete cross-linking occurs after approximately 28 days

The cycle is not suitable for the creation of shower trays, or other situations where water stagnation may occur. Use for the construction of walls inside shower cubicles is permitted after perfect preparation and sealing of all junction points between walls, shower tray and in conjunction with valves, taps, shower heads etc. Inside the shower cubicles always apply 3 coats of CeboSkil with CeboCat added.
