12 months from date of production

Store in cool and dry conditions in unopened, undamaged and sealed original packaging at temperatures between +10°C and +40°C. Protect from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Avoid excessive compaction.

~1.78 kg/l (mixed, at 25°C)

Cold, clean water by weight of powder:

• 1.65 L per 5 kg bag
• 5.94 L per 18 kg bag

~30 min at 25°C

Consumption of SikaCeram®-530 depends on the size of the tiles and the dimension of the joints.

Consumption of tile grout can be also calculated through the following formula:
((L1+ L2) x W x T x D ) / (L1 x L2) , where:
▪ L1 = Length of tile (mm) - First side
▪ L2 = Length of tile (mm) - Second side
▪ W = Joint width (mm)
▪ T = Tile thickness (mm)
▪ D = Fresh mortar density of tile grout (kg/l)
Note: Final result will be in kg/m².

~3.75 L / 5 kg bag

~13.5 L / 18 kg bag

Pour the recommended amount of water into a suitable, clean mixing container. Stir slowly, whilst slowly adding the SikaCeram®-530 powder to the water and then mix thoroughly using a low speed (<400 rpm.) drill mixer until the material is fully homogeneous and lump free.
After mixing, leave the product to stand and ‘mature’ for ~15 minutes, then briefly stir again prior to application. The finished mix has a very creamy consistency, is uniformly coloured and it is easy to apply and spread.

Note: Allow at least 24 hours between fixing tiles and grouting.

SikaCeram®-530 is applied using a rubber trowel using cross-hatch techniques, taking care to ensure the joints are filled uniformly across
the whole width and along their full length.
Using the same blade/trowel in a vertical position, remove the excess from the surface of the tiles.
When the material starts to set, it is possible to begin the initial cleaning step, using a damp sponge. The remaining grout traces on the tile surfaces can easily be removed the next day by wiping with a clean, soft dry cloth.
Avoid application in direct sunlight and/or in excessive draughts or strong winds.

Clean all tools and application equipment with clean water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be mechanically removed.
