EPD
Certificate type

Highly polymer-modified elastomeric tile adhesive with anti-fracture properties for limited lateral movement and vibration areas.

Jump to:

+44 (0)1782 591100 Website

Application

Used as isolating anti-fracture underlay for ceramics, porcelain and vitrified tiles, mosaics, slate and certain natural stones, terrazzo in dry or wet interior and exterior environments. Suitable for areas subject to limited lateral movement and vibration. Not suitable for use with uncoupling or decoupling mats.

Description

Highly polymer-modified, water/ frost-resistant elastomeric tile adhesive with anti-fracture properties.

Features and benefits:

Floor tile adhesive that absorbs lateral stress and movement, providing crack-bridging and anti-fracture.
No uncoupling mats required - just mix with water to fix tiles direct.
Highly flexible elastomeric anti-fracture underlay.
Helps achieve requirements of Building Regulations Part E (Resistance to sound).
Grout after 5 hours at 20°C.
