Sika SikaCeram 272 Ultra Rapid Flexible Floor & Wall Tile Adhesive 20kg

SikaCeram® 272 Ultra Flexible White – 20 kg

Rapid-setting, high-flexibility cementitious tile adhesive formulated with added latex powder. Ideal for fixing ceramic, porcelain, large-format tiles, and light-colored natural stones without needing a separate flexible additive.

Key benefits

• Extremely flexible and crack resistant—maintains integrity under movement.
• Rapid setting with high early strength—grout in as little as 2 hours at room temperature.
• Excellent non-slip performance combined with extended open time allows precise tile placement.
• Suitable for both thick and thin bed applications (up to 10 mm).
• Water-resistant and frost-resistant—suitable for interior, exterior, and wet areas.

Typical applications

• Tiling internal and external walls and floors with ceramic, porcelain, and large-format tiles.
• Ideal for natural stones like marble and travertine, where white adhesive prevents shadowing.
• Excellent for areas under constant immersion (e.g., swimming pools, showers), heavy foot traffic, and heated floors.
• Adheres to a variety of substrates, including concrete, screeds, renders, timber, and existing tiles.

Usage guidance

• Mix with clean cold water (~4 kg adhesive per m² using a 10 mm notched trowel). Only add powder to water.
• Workable for approximately 40–60 minutes depending on temperature.
• Grout when tile bed is sufficiently firm—typically after 2 hours at room temperature (longer in cold conditions).
• On underfloor heating: allow 2–3 weeks curing before switching on, then raise temperature gradually by 2 °C per day.
• Clean tools with water immediately after use.
