705 WATERTIGHT TILE ADHESIVE

Product Typification

High-quality, frost-resistant powder tile adhesive for the flexible and waterproof bonding of ceramic wall and floor tiles, mosaic and flat dark-colored natural stone. Applicable to almost any cement-based surface, concrete, existing tiling, underfloor heating structures, etc. Ideal for wet areas, swimming pools and outdoor applications. Thanks to Emicode EC 1PLUS (very low emission), also suitable for BREEAM projects.

Basis	:	Cement-based powder with a high synthetic binder content to be mixed with water.
Colour	:	Grey.

Product advantages:

Dust reduced
Very low emission
Emicode EC 1PLUS
For in- and outdoor use
Suitable for almost all subfloors
Watertight (when applied as an impervious layer)
Flexible
Moisture- and frost-resistant
Very suitable for tiles with an absorption capacity of 1% or less
High initial adhesion strength
High final bond strength
For wall and floor

Performances

Classification	:	High flexible cement-based tile adhesive, which as far as final bond strength, moisture- and frost-resistance complies with C2TE, according to NEN EN 12004. EMICODE EC 1PLUS tested conform to EN 13999-2/4. Suitable for BREEAM-projects.
Consumption	:	1.2 - 3.5 kg/m², depending on the smoothness of the subfloor and type of tile.
Curing	:	Minimum 24 hours, depending on the subfloor and temperature. Lower temperatures will slow down the drying time. During bonding of the adhesive the temperature during day and night must be > 5 ˚C.
Dust factor	:	< 5% components with a particle of < 2 µm(micrometer)

Application

Application:

For the flexible and water-resistant fixing of wall and floor tiles, mosaic and flat dark coloured natural stone, various ceramic tiles, flagstones, split tiles, porcelain stoneware tiles and other tiles with an minor absorption capacity on almost any type of subfloor e.g. concrete, wood, old tiles, granito, underfloor heating systems etc.
Very suitable for application in the so-called “wet areas”, swimming pools and outdoor use.
For fixing glass-mosaic and light-coloured natural stone, such as marble. For these applications we recommend 711 Uniflex or 681 Marmercol.

Working Process

Open time	:	Place the tiles within 15 to 20 minutes into the wet adhesive, depending on the subfloor and temperature.
Mixing ratio	:	Add 25 kg 705 Watertight Tile Adhesive to approx. 6 litres of water. 5 kg 705 Watertight Tile Adhesive to approx. 1.2 litres of water.
Waiting time	:	After mixing with water wait for a few minutes, stir once again and apply the mixture on the subfloor.
Application temperature	:	From 5° to 25 °C (temperature of the surrounding as well as the subfloor).
Processing time	:	Apply the mixture within 60 minutes.
Curing	:	Minimum 24 hours, depending on the subfloor and temperature. Lower temperatures will slow down the drying time. During bonding of the adhesive the temperature during day and night must be > 5 ˚C.
Storage	:	Store cool and dry in unopened packaging.
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:
1.2 - 3.5 kg/m², depending on the smoothness of the subfloor and type of tile.

Substrate:

The subfloor must have a good tensile and compression strength. The subfloor should also be smooth, dry and free from grease, dirt and dust.
When using the adhesive outdoors apply two layers of 730 Isoflex. Also remove all old ceramic finishing.
Wooden floors, made of floorboards, should be sufficiently supported underneath (distance between the beam maximum 60 cm). To attain a fixed construction screw water-resistant plywood (minimum 12 mm thickness) on top of this layer. Thereafter apply 099 Dispersion Primer and prime completely with 685 Eurocoat. Maximum tile size 30x30 cm.
Prime moisture-sensitive or absorbent subfloors e.g. gypsum-based walls wit 099 Dispersion Primer. Apply 685 Eurocoat in the shower area to attain an impervious layer between the tile adhesive and subfloor.
Prime self-levelling anhydrite floors with a residual construction moisture percentage of 0.5% with 099 Dispersion Primer (drying time minimum 12 hours).
In advance always seek our technical data sheets. In doubt about the application ask for technical advice.

User manual:

Add 25 kg of 705 Watertight Tile Adhesive to approx. 6 litres of cool and clean tap water and stir the mortar for 1 minute, by using an electric stirrer (approx. 600 rpm), to a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
After strirring wait for a few minutes, stir once again and apply the adhesive on the subfloor with the recommended adhesive spreader.
Press the tiles within 15 to 20 minutes with a shuffling movement into the adhesive. Check regularly to ensure that the back of the tile is in full contact with the adhesive. Remove excess adhesive immediately from the joints.
For the watertightness on floors in wet areas first apply an impervious layer of approx. 5 mm thickness with a flat trowel. Thereafter make adhesive strips with the recommended adhesive spreader. When it is absolutely necessary to obtain a water-resistant layer, make two actions. First apply an impervious layer of approx. 3 mm thickness with a flat trowel and let dry for minimum 5 hours. Thereafter apply a second layer and make adhesive strips.
In dry areas make the adhesive strips with the recommended adhesive spreader in the usual way.
Apply the mixed adhesive within 60 minutes. Do not add extra water!
Under normal circumstances, i.e. a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65%, the joints may be filled after minimum 24 hours.

Spreading capacity/notched spreader for powder tile adhesives:

The smoothness of the subfloor and type of tile are determining for the adhesive spreader to be used. Selection of the notched spreader should be made in such way that a minimum adhesive contact of 80% is guaranteed (equally divided over the back of the tile). For outdoor purposes this contact must be 100%. Also counts for heavy-duty indoor floors, e.g. store and warehouse floors. Check the adhesive contact regularly.

Spreader no. 19, 4x4 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 1.2 kg/m²

Spreader no. 12, 6x6 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 2.0 kg/m²

Spreader no. 13, 8x8 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 2.7 kg/m²

Spreader no. 14, 10x10 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 3.5 kg/m²
