Product description
Description
Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, corridors, stairs and small decorative elements on the outside of the buildings – permanently fixes tiles wherever the application of deformable adhesive is not required.
Levels mineral substrates – can be used to fill in the surface of walls and jointless floors.
Enables bricklaying with thin joint – the adhesive can be used for small bricklaying works during finishing interiors.
Extension of range of applications possible – after combining with ATLAS ELASTIC EMULSION, the adhesive can be used on substrates exposed to heat and mechanical deformation, e.g. plasterboards, floor heating or wall heating.
The main characteristics
• easy and nice to work with
• for bathrooms, kitchens, corridors
• for small façade decorative elements
• extended open time and reduced slip
• enables leveling mineral substrates
The main parameters
• consumption: ca. 1.5 kg of dry mix / 1 m² / 1 mm adhesive layer
• adhesion: min. 0.5 N/mm²
• bed thickness: 2 - 10 mm
Series description
Classification of adhesives for tiles
Adhesives for tiles are classified and marked according to PN-EN 12004 Standard
The Standard specifies three types of adhesives:
C – cement based adhesives
D – dispersion adhesives
R – adhesives based on reactive resins
Each of the above types of adhesives can appear in different forms (classes) corresponding to additional requirements:
1 – standard setting adhesives – adhesion after 28 days ≥ 0.5 N/mm2
2 – adhesives of improved parameters – increased adhesion, after 28 days ≥ 1.0 N/mm2
F – fast setting adhesives – adhesion ≥ 0.5 N/mm2, measured after time not exceeding 6 hours
T – adhesives with reduced slip – slip not exceeding 0.5 mm
E – adhesives with extended open time – adhesion after 28 days ≥ 0.5 N/mm2, despite the fact the time between the application of the adhesive and placing a tile is not shorter than 30 minutes.
Adhesive selection
Before fixing ceramic tiling or natural stone, please pay attention to a few elements significant for the proper selection of the adhesive.
These are:
- substrate – the material it is made of, its absorptive power, roughness, adhesiveness, cleanliness, maturing degree and possible deflection
- tiles – their kind (gres-porcelain, terracotta, glazed tiles, stone), size (mosaic, large size), absorptive power and resistance to discolouration
- conditions of use of the tiling – the atmospheric influence (indoor, outdoor), situation (wall or floor), kind and volume of usable load (pedestrian or vehicle traffic), frequency and the volume of temperature changes.
