680 ELASTILIGHT

Product Typification

Elastic, easy to use and lightweight paste tile adhesive with very high initial tack. Ideal for bonding large-format ceramic wall and floor tiles to almost any wall made of cement, plaster, sheet material or existing tiling. Very moisture-resistant and thanks to EMICODE EC 1PLUS (very low emissions) also suitable for BREEAM projects.

Basis	:	Ready-for-use dispersion adhesive with an acrylic base.
Colour	:	Light grey.

Product advantages:

Emicode EC 1PLUS (Very low emission)
Good moisture-resistant
Lightweight (specific weight 1.1)
Very high initial adhesion strength for large tiles
Very easy to apply
Favourable spreading capacity
High Adhesive strength
30% lighter in weight

Performances

Alkali resistance	:	680 Elastilight is resistant against an alkaline environment.
Classification	:	D2TE according to NEN EN 12004-2:2017. An elastic dispersion-based tile adhesive with an increased flow resistance. GEV-EMICODE EC 1 PLUS tested conform to EN 13999-2/4. Suitable for BREEAM-projects.
Consumption	:	1.3 - 1,75 kg/m², depending on the smoothness of the subfloor and type of tile.
Curing	:	Minimum 24 hours. When fixing tiles with a moisture-absorption capacity < 3%, fully vitrified tiles and large tiles wait for minimum 48 hours. Drying and reaching of the final bond strength of the adhesive depends on temperature, relative humidity, subfloor and type of tile. During the setting of the adhesive, the temperature should remain above 5 °C during the day and at night.
Humidity resistance	:	After drying 680 Elastilight is moisture-resistant and therefore very suitable for application in the so-called "wet areas". The adhesive cannot be used under water (swimming pools).
Specific weight	:	1.1 kg/l.

Application

For fixing:

heavy tiles
large tiles
wall tiles
tiles with a moisture-absorption capacity < 3%
mosaic
natural stone
building and insulation materials.

NB: Fix light-coloured natural stone and glass-mosaic with 681 Marmercol or 711 Uniflex.

On almost all interior walls, e.g.:

cement-based subfloors
gypsum-based subfloors
various sheet materials
old tiles

Working Process

Open time	:	15-20 Minutes, depending on temperature, relative humidity, subfloor and type of tile.
Waiting time	:	Due to the high initial adhesion strength, heavy and/or large tiles can be fixed without a waiting time
Application temperature	:	From 5º C to 25 ºC (temperature of the surrounding as well as the subfloor).
Curing	:	Minimum 24 hours. When fixing tiles with a moisture-absorption capacity < 3%, fully vitrified tiles and large tiles wait for minimum 48 hours. Drying and reaching of the final bond strength of the adhesive depends on temperature, relative humidity, subfloor and type of tile. During the setting of the adhesive, the temperature should remain above 5 °C during the day and at night.
Storage	:	Store free from frost. Protect against temperatures > 35 ºC.
Shelf Life	:	12 Months, in unopened packaging. After use close the open packaging well.
Moisture resistance	:	After drying 680 Elastilight is moisture-resistant and therefore very suitable for application in the so-called "wet areas". The adhesive cannot be used under water (swimming pools).

* 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:
1.3 - 1,75 kg/m², depending on the smoothness of the subfloor and type of tile.

Substrate:

680 Elastilight is suitable for almost all walls, which are clean, free from dust and grease, smooth and dry.
If necessary level stony walls with 658 Wandoforte or 955 Wandostuc.
Prime moisture-absorbent and somewhat friable walls with 099 Dispersion Primer.
Affix non-absorbent subfloors e.g. old tiles with tile adhesive or prime with 051 Europrimer Quartz.
In accordance with the manufacturers recommendations gypsum plasterwork has to be at least 10 mm thick.
For bonding of the adhesive, either the tile and/or subfloor should be able to absorb moisture.
The subfloor should be suitable for the required application.
In advance always seek our technical data sheets. In doubt about the application ask for technical advice.

User manual:

Apply the adhesive on the wall and make adhesive strips with the recommended adhesive spreader (see spreading capacity).
Place the tiles immediately with a shuffling movement into the adhesive.
After drying of the adhesive (minimum 24-48 hours) the joints can be filled with a Eurocol grouting cement.
Clean tools and hands immediately with water.

Spreading capacity for ready-for-use tile adhesives:

The smoothness of the subfloor and type of tile are determining for the adhesive spreader to be used. For walls inside a minimum adhesive transport of 60% is required (divided equally over the back of the tile).

Notched spreader no. 19 4x4 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 1.3 kg/m².
Notched spreader no. 12 6x6 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 1.8 kg/m².

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