Product Typification

Adhesive and additive for tile work and mortars for the waterproofing and extra adhesion of (large) floor tiles. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Basis : Synthetic resin dispersion.
Colour : White.

Product advantages:
  • For in- and outdoor use 
  • Non-flammable 
  • Thin liquid easy to mix 
  • Multi-purpose application 

Performances

Consumption : Spreading capacity:  app. 0.5 kg/m².
Curing : 1-4 days, depending on the subfloor, application and temperature. Lower temperatures will slow down the bonding.
End strength : Depending on the applied quantity of cement, water/cement factor etc.
Specific weight : 1.0 kg/l.

Application

Application:
  • Additive for mortars, for the water-resistant fixing of tiles. 
  • Adhesion improving additive for bonding-cement-slurry in case large tiles have to be fixed.
  • Adhesion improving additive for mortars on critical subfloors, e.g.:
    - smooth and impervious subfloors;
    - high moisture absorbent subfloors.
  • Additive for mortars in favour of:
    - higher mechanical strength;
    - higher bending strength;
    - smaller shrinkage. 

Working Process

Mixing ratio : See directions for use.
Application temperature : > 5 °C.
Processing time : Apply the mortar within 90 minutes.
Curing : 1-4 days, depending on the subfloor, application and temperature. Lower temperatures will slow down the bonding.
Storage : Store free from frost. Protect against high temperatures.
Shelf Life : 12 Months, in unopened packaging. After use close the open packaging well.

* The mentioned values have been established in our laboratory and must be considered as guidelines in view of possible variations in climatic circumstances, subfloor compositions and layer thickness.

Consumption:
Spreading capacity:  app. 0.5 kg/m².

Substrate:
  • The subfloor should be clean, free from grease and dust, dry and have a good tensile and compression strength. 
  • In advance always seek our technical data sheets. In doubt about the application ask for technical advice. 


User manual:

As an additive for bonding-cement-slurry in case large tiles have to be fixed:

  • Add to 7 parts by volume of cement 1 part of 055 Additive and 2 parts of water.
  • Stir thoroughly, preferably with an electric drilling machine, to a smooth and homogeneous mixture. 
  • Pour out the mixture on the mortar bed and divide it with a 8 x 8 mm notched adhesive spreader. 
  • Place the floor tiles within 15 minutes with a shuffling movement into the mortar. 
  • Do not tap on the tiles with a hammer. 
  • Spreading capacity: approx. 0.5 kg/m².

As a adhesion improving additive for mortars on critical subfloors:

  • Add approx. 9.5 parts by volume of powder tile adhesive to 1 part of 055 Additive and 2 parts of water.
  • Mix the mortar, preferably with an electric drilling machine, to a smooth and homogeneous mixture. 
  • Apply the mortar on the subfloor with a broom or a 4x4 notched adhesive spreader. 
  • In case of vertical application the mortar has to dry completely.
  • Work wet-in-wet when applying a “rendering slurry” for mortars.
  • Spreading capacity: approx. 0.3 kg/m².

As an additive for mortars to improve the watertightness:

  • Mixing ratio sand/cement 3:1. 
  • Add to 50 kg cement 3 kg of 055 Additive to the mixing-water and mix until a homogeneous mortar. 
  • Spreading capacity: approx. 0.2 kg/m² per cm layer thickness.

Contains methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone (3:1) and benzisothiazolinone. May produce an allergic reaction.
