Cementitious adhesive with no vertical slip for ceramic tiles CLASSIFICATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH EN 12004 Kerabond T is a normal (1) slip-resistant (T) cementitious (C) adhesive of class C1T. Conformity of Kerabond T is declared in ITT certificates n° 25050176-1/Gi (TUM) and n° 25080238/Gi (TUM) issued by the Technische Universität München laboratory (Germany) and in ITT certificates n° 1220.8/10/R03 NPU; 1220.10/10/R03 NPU and 1220.9/10/R03 NPU issued by the ITB Katowice Institute (Poland) WHERE TO USE • ndoor and outdoor fixing of ceramic tiles and mosaics I of all types on floors, walls and ceilings. • pot bonding of insulating materials such as S expanded polystyrene, expanded polyurethane, rock and glass wool, Heraclit® wood-cement and sound-deadening panels, etc. Some application examples Paper-faced or mesh-backed mosaics and all types of ceramic tiles (quarry tiles, single fired and klinker tiles, etc.), on: • onventional renders or cement mortar walls; c • rdinary concrete slabs or reinforced floating slabs, o provided they are sufficiently well aged and dry; • ypsum supports and anhydrite screeds as long as g they are first treated with a primer. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Kerabond T is a grey or white powder composed of cement, fine-grade, synthetic resins and special admixtures formulated in the MAPEI Research and Development Laboratories. Mixed with water, Kerabond T becomes an easily trowellable mortar with good bonding strength, low slump and high grab so that it can be applied vertically without sagging, even holding heavy tiles. It is possible to install from the top towards the bottom without using spacer pegs. Kerabond T hardens without noticeable shrinkage to become extremely resistant, adhering perfectly to all the conventional materials used in construction. N.B.: Mixing Kerabond T with Isolastic in place of water improves the characteristics to meet the requirements of class C2ES2 (highly deformable improved cementitious adhesive with extended open time) according to EN 12004. RECOMMENDATIONS Use Kerabond T mixed with Isolastic in the following cases: • on foamed concrete walls; • on pre-cast or cast-concrete structures; • over underfloor heating installations; • with large-size tiles; • for the installation of glass mosaics; • for the installation of stone materials as long as they are stable and moisture proof. Do not use Kerabond T in the following cases: • on wooden substrates; • on gypsum board walls;
