USE
Consult current good engineering practices (DTU building regulations, technical
building specifications, etc.).
Working conditions
Temperature for use : + 5° C to + 30° C
Do not use when frosty; protect during setting in very hot and dry weather.
Grouting
Use CARROJOINT for joints up to 6 mm wide.
Use CARROJOINT XL for joints from 2 to 20 mm wide, for drawn sandstone and
terracotta.
COVERAGE
Coverage is given for flat substrates and smooth-backed tiles.
Substrate age :
- earth platform surfaces : at least 1 month
- separate slab or screed : at least 15 days
- bonded slab or screed : at least 1 month
- cement coating : at least 48 hours
- terracotta tiles and cellular concrete blocks : at least 24 hours
Level if necessary with CARROFIX, filling where required (10 mm maximum) and
leave to set for 24 to 48 hours, according to the ambient temperature, before laying
the tiles.
In hot or dry weather or on highly porous substrates, dampen the day before or a
few hours before laying the tiles.

PACKAGING
25 kg paper bags
CONSERVATION AND STORAGE
One year in original pack, not opened and stored where sheltered from humidity
On cellular concrete, prime beforehand with CEGEPRIM AN.
Product preparation
Mix CARROFIX in approx. 5,75 to 6 litres of clean water per 25 kg bag, preferably
with an electric mixer at slow speed (500 rpm maximum) until a homogeneous,
smooth, lump-free paste is obtained.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Observe the instructions on the packaging and / or refer to the sheet Product safety
data available on our website www.cegecol.com
Wait 3 minutes and mix again briefly before use (do not add any more water).
Technical data
- Pot life : approx. 3 hours at + 20°C
- Practical open time : approx. 20 min. at + 20°C
- Time during which adjustments can be made : approx. 20 min. at + 20°C
- Waiting time before grouting : minimum 12 hours at +20°C
Use of floors :
- walkable : minimum 12 hours after grouting
- normal use of premises : minimum 36 hours after grouting
These times may vary depending on the porosity of the substrate and the ambient conditions (temperature/relative humidity).
Application
Apply CARROFIX on the substrate with a spatula then adjust the thickness using the
correct serrated spatula for the tile size. (see table below)
Apply adhesive over surface areas of 1 to 2 m2.
Lay the tiles using the simple or double method of glueand press them with a
slight motion in order to flatten out ridges and remove air pockets.
When using the simple method, check the adhesion of the adhesive mortar on the
back of the tiles during application.
Cleaning
Stains and tools, during application, with a clean, damp sponge.
