CERESIT CM 42 adheres to all solid, load-bearing, clean and dry substrates free of substances that may impair adhesion. Coatings of insufficient load?bearing strength must be removed. For levelling and raising the level of cementitious floors we recommend using CN 39 or CN 7 Highly absorbent substrates must be primed with CT 17. When installing tiles on existing ceramic or natural stone coverings, we recommend a full-surface coat of CT 19.
Mix CERESIT CM 42 with the pre-defined amount of clean water (see Technical Data) until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Leave to mature for approx. 5 minutes, then give the mortar a final stir.
Use a trowel with a suitable notch size. Natural/artificial stone slabs or ceramic tiles must be installed within the open time of the mortar (see Technical Data); otherwise, the required effort will be too high. For large tiles/slabs and outdoor areas we recommend using the floating-buttering method. Fresh mortar stains can be removed with water; hardened residues can only be removed mechanically.
