Problem :
Bonds to old foundations or especially smooth support surfaces are a common problem when laying ceramic tiles. Problems also arise with structures subjected to vibrations that can cause cracking of foundations. In these cases it is good practice to incorporate an adhesion-enhancer in the cement mix to make it more flexible and able to absorb structural vibrations.
Application Fields :
ELASTOBOND is used with cement mortars to make universal adhesives for ceramic tiles of all types and for slabs of natural stone. It is used for outdoors setting of wall coverings, balconies, terraces, prefabricated concrete walls, swimming pools, cold cells, on existing ceramic and marble tile floors, floor foundations subject to strong oscillations or made using quick curing cements, heated floors, etc.
Tips :
• Use ELASTOBOND in temperatures ranging from +5°C to +40°C.
• Setting times decrease rapidly when the product is used in hot weather because the resin quickly forms a surface film.
This film must be removed by retrowelling the mortar.
• Store at temperatures above freezing. The product is no longer usable if it has been frozen.
• Damp concrete foundations can greatly lengthen curing time.
• Grout after 24 hours.
• Clean tools with water immediately after use.
• Avoid preparing the mix by hand.
• The product is damaged by freezing. Keep the product indoors and where temperatures do not drop below +5°C.
