Product catalog summary
Description: SILIKOLL PROGRESS is a professional mineral adhesive composed of hydraulic binders, mineral fillers, synthetic resins, and special additives. It offers improved adhesion, no vertical slip, and extended open time, making it suitable for laying ceramic tiles and stable natural stones on walls and floors, both indoors and outdoors. It is classified as C2TE according to EN 12004 standards.
Fields of Application: The adhesive is used for bonding small to medium format ceramic tiles and dimensionally stable stones. It is also suitable for insulating materials and can be applied on various cementitious substrates, including plaster, concrete, and screeds. For deformability, it can be mixed with ELASTOKOL latex.
Substrate Preparation: Substrates must be dry, seasoned, and free from contaminants. Cementitious substrates should not shrink post-application, and anhydrite screeds must be treated with PRIMER A 16. Porous surfaces should be treated with RASOTECH PRIMER CONSOLIDANTE.
Application: Mix 25 kg of SILIKOLL PROGRESS with 6.5-7 liters of water. The mixture remains workable for 6-8 hours at 23°C. Apply with a smooth spatula and ensure tiles are pressed firmly. Use double coating for large tiles or humid environments. Grouting can be done 6 hours after wall application and 24 hours after floor application.
Yield: 2.5-5.0 kg/m² depending on substrate and tile type.
Recommendations: Avoid using on non-cured substrates or certain materials like metal and wood. Protect from environmental factors until fully hardened. Clean equipment before the adhesive sets.
Packaging and Storage: Available in 25 kg bags, with a shelf life of 12 months if stored dry and sealed.
Safety Instructions: Contains cement, which can cause skin irritation. Use protective gear and consult the Safety Data Sheet for more information.
Specifications: Suitable for laying ceramic tiles and stones with improved adhesion and no vertical slip. For high deformability, mix with ELASTOKOL latex.
Technical Data: Complies with EN 12004, class C2TE. Non-flammable, with a pH of 13. Pot life is 6-8 hours, and the operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +90°C.
Final Performance: Initial adhesion and adhesion after various conditions are ≥ 1.0 N/mm². Vertical slip is ≤ 0.5 mm.

Silikoll Progress-1

Silikoll Progress MINERAL ADHESIVE WITH IMPROVED ADHESION, NO VERTICAL SLIP AND EXTENDED OPEN TIME, GOOD WORKABILITY. SUITABLE FOR PROFESSIONAL LAYING OF CERAMIC TILES AND STABLE NATURAL STONES ON WALLS AND FLOORS. FOR INDOORS AND OUTDOORS. Technical Data Sheet – Rev. 09/2018 DESCRIPTION SILIKOLL PROGRESS is a professional powder adhesive consisting of hydraulic binders, selected mineral fillers, synthetic resins and special additives. Mixed with water, it is transformed into a thixotropic product with easy workability and extended open time that facilitates laying operations, high adhesion to materials normally used in construction, applicable upright without the risk of sagging or tiles slipping and free from particular shrinkage during hardening. For thicknesses up to 10 mm. Classification according to European standard EN 12004 – C2TE · Cement adhesive (C) improved adherence (2), no vertical slip (T), with extended open time (E). FIELDS OF APPLICATION SILIKOLL PROGRESS is used for indoor and outdoor bonding, both on the wall and the floor, of all types of small and medium format ceramic tiles, such as single-fired, porcelain stoneware, klinker and fired for bonding of stone and reconstituted material as long as dimensionally stable and not sensitive to moisture SILIKOLL PROGRESS is also suitable for bonding insulating materials, such as polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam, cork, glass or rock wool, Eraclit, sound-absorbing panels, etc.. It can be applied on all cementitious substrates normally used in construction, such as plaster, concrete, cellular concrete, self-levelling screed, cementitious screeds, on quick-drying screeds made with mineral hydraulic binder NEOCEM or on quick-drying ready-to-use screeds and compensated shrinkage made with NEOCEM PRONTO. SILIKOLL PROGRESS can be used for laying floors or coverings on gypsum or plasterboard substrates, as long as it is supported rigidly, on anhydrite screeds (after applying the insulating PRIMER A 16), for laying floors on heating screeds (only for tiles with a format that does not exceed 900 cm2), for overlapping installation on existing ceramic or marble floorings adequately prepared (with formats up to 900 cm2)and for laying floors on elastomer or elastic cementitious waterproofing membranes. To make the adhesive deformable or highly deformable (S1/S2 according to the EN 12004 standard), mix SILIKOLL PROGRESS with ELASTOKOL polymeric elasticising latex, in total or partial replacement of the mixing water. SUBSTRATE PREPARATION The substrates must be sufficiently dry and seasoned, mechanically resistant, flat, solid, compact, free of crumbling or inconsistent parts, without any dust and greasy substances, oil, paint, wax and any material that could compromise perfect product adhesion. The cementitious substrates must not be subjected to shrinkage after laying the tiles and, therefore, they must have already completed the hygrometric shrinkage that can be evaluated in one or two weeks for each cm of thickness for the plaster and in at least 28 days of total curing for cementitious screeds, unless they are made with quick-drying ready-to-

use screed and NEOCEM PRONTO compensated shrinkage or with NEOCEM hydraulic binder for quick-drying screeds. Anhydrite screeds must be perfectly hardened, clean, dry (maximum residual humidity 0.5%) and must be treated, after sanding, with insulating primer based on synthetic resins in aqueous dispersion PRIMER A 16. Always treat with PRIMER A 16 for direct applications on plaster or plasterboard. Very porous, highly absorbent and superficially crumbling surfaces must be treated with RASOTECH PRIMER CONSOLIDANTE consolidating impregnating agent so as to reduce the absorption of the screed and...

building better according to EN 12004), mix SILIKOLL PROGRESS with polymeric elasticising latex, such as ELASTOKOL by Colmef Srl; the modified adhesive will be suitable for wall and floor installation in all instances where high deformability of the adhesive is required. TECHNICAL DATA | Data detection at +23°C - 50% R.H. and in absence of ventilation | The information in this bulletin is based on our best experience. We cannot be held liable for any product misuse. We therefore recommend anyone who intends to use this product to assess whether it is suitable for the intended application and...
