Coarse Flooring Mortar PM600: Introducing the ultimate porcelain tile adhesive for floor & flooring

Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or professional constructor trying to upgrade your project results, our new porcelain tile adhesive for floor “PM600” is going to revolutionize your next tiling project. This cement-based floor adhesive is engineered with advanced polymer-reinforced cement and an enhanced formula which can simplify both floor installation and preparation, making construction processes convenient while also ensuring an exceptional performance. Explore the features, benefits, and technical details below to discover how PM600 can transform your flooring projects.

Product overview

PM600 is the future of every flooring project. Made from granulated limestone cement, polypropylene fiber powder resins, and adhesive reinforcements, this product is ready for use by simply adding water. It functions as a dual-purpose solution—acting as both a floor concrete and a floor adhesive for porcelain and ceramic applications.

Key features

  • Versatility: This coarse graded floor adhesive acts both as a floor concrete and an adhesive making it an ideal choice for a wide range of projects. When faced with uneven or challenging surfaces, such as soil or poorly prepared subfloors, a 3 cm layer of this product can be applied to create a stable, smooth base. This eliminates the need for expensive subfloor preparations like a 10 cm concrete pour. On the other hand, for surfaces with no need for additional preparation, applying a 1 to 1.5 cm thick layer of PM600 ensures high-quality tile installation while reducing material usage and labor costs.
  • Cost-effectiveness: PM600’s dual functionality makes it not only the ideal porcelain tile adhesive for floor installations but also an excellent cement based floor adhesive and polymer modified cement floor adhesive for diverse flooring projects. By reducing material usage, installation and labor costs, PM600 ensures high-quality and durable results while also providing a cost-effective alternative.
  • Enhanced performance: This polymer modified cement floor adhesive is ideal for a broad range of applications due to its enhanced performance. From high-traffic areas and household transformations in kitchens , bathrooms and porches to commercial spaces and even industrial settings, PM600 works as the perfect coarse graded floor adhesive.
  • Enhanced formula: The secret behind PM600’s outstanding performance lies in its advanced material composition. By combining polymer-reinforced cement with coarse-grained polypropylene fibers, this porcelain tile adhesive for floor, shows superior bonding strength and flexibility. This enhanced formula improves adhesion and enhances resistance to cracking and thermal stress in both indoor and outdoor projects.
  • Enhanced durability: PM600 provides exceptional durability and slip resistance. This product has been tested in various conditions such as heat ageing, water immersion, and freeze-thaw cycles, showing great capacity to maintain tensile adhesion strength above 0.5 N/mm². This ensures that your flooring installations are durable, even in high-traffic or harsh environments.

Technical specifications

Composition and mixing

PM600 is produced with a blend of granulated limestone cement, polypropylene fiber powder resins, and other adhesive reinforcements. This formulation enables it to serve as both a cement based floor adhesive and floor prepration. The product is activated by water, making it simple to prepare on site.

Mixing instructions

  1. Gradually add 5.5 liters of water to each 35 kg bag.
  2. Mix in a mechanical mixer for 10 minutes to form a uniform paste, allow it to rest for 10 minutes, then mix again for 5 minutes.
  3. Working time: The adhesive remains workable for up to one hour after mixing.
  4. Installation window: Ensure that ceramic tiles are installed within 30 minutes of applying the adhesive for optimal adhesion.

Setting time

  • Medium temperatures: Full curing is achieved in approximately 14 hours.
  • Cooler temperatures (8 to 10°C): The curing process extends to around 24 hours.

Performance data and standards

PM600 complies with the European standard EN12004 under Category C1E, ensuring reliability for absorbent tiles and common substrates. The product’s performance metrics include:

  • Initial tensile adhesion strength: Greater than 0.5 N/mm² after 28 days under standard conditions.
  • Heat ageing: Maintains over 0.5 N/mm² tensile adhesion after 14 days at +70°C.
  • Water immersion: Retains a tensile adhesion strength above 0.5 N/mm² after 14 days of immersion.
  • Freeze-thaw resistance: Keeps the adhesion strength of more than 0.5 N/mm² after 25 freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Open application time: Provides an open time exceeding 20 minutes, with a tensile adhesion time in 24 hours of over 30 minutes.

These specifications vary demonstrate that PM600 is not only a porcelain tile adhesive for floor applications but also a dependable cement based floor adhesive that meets the various demands of the industry.

Applications of PM600

PM600 is engineered for a broad range of applications, making it an ideal choice for various construction projects. Here are just a few examples:

  • Residential and commercial flooring
  • High-traffic areas (such as industrial floors, public corridors, and busy commercial spaces)
  • Outdoor installations
  • Any type of surface (including uneven or soil-based substrates)
  • Flooring preparation

Installation process

  1. Surface preparation: Ensure that the substrate is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. For uneven surfaces or substrates like soil, apply a 3 cm layer of PM600 to create a smooth, stable base. For surfaces requiring minimal preparation, a 1–1.5 cm layer is sufficient.
  2. Mixing procedure: Gradually add 5.5 liters of water into a 35 kg bag of PM600 using a mechanical mixer. Mix continuously for 10 minutes until the paste is uniform. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes, then mix again for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust the water mixing ratio if necessary, depending on project requirements.
  3. Application: Use the mixed adhesive within one hour to ensure maximum performance. Install ceramic tiles within 30 minutes of applying the adhesive to ensure a strong bond. Allow the adhesive to dry for 14 hours at medium temperatures, or 24 hours at cooler temperatures (8 to 10°C), to achieve full strength.

Packaging, storage, and handling

At SIG cement our number one goal is your satisfaction and convenience. That is why PM600 packaging options are designed to maintain product integrity and provide convenience for the user. This porcelain tile adhesive for floor is available in 35 kg laminated paper bags, PP bags, and 1–1.5 ton jumbo bags.
