Application

Use for:

  • Fixing ceramics, porcelain and vitrified tiles, mosaics, certain natural stones, terrazzo, rigid foam insulating materials and brick slips in dry or wet interior and exterior environments.

NOTE: Certain types of natural stone (i.e. limestone, marble, travertine and some granite) may be susceptible to water staining. In this case, use of a BAL rapid-setting white adhesive is recommended i.e. BAL RAPID FLEX ONE. Do NOT use BAL CTF4 for translucent or water sensitive stone.

  • Recommended for large format wall tiles.
  • Recommended for showers.

Description

Water/ frost-resistant cementitious tile adhesive for walls and floors. It can be used to fix ceramics, porcelain and vitrified tiles, mosaics, natural stone, terrazzo, rigid foam insulating materials and brick slips. It is also suitable for use in swimming pools. Further applications, e.g. tiling to overlaid timber floors are possible by adding BAL Admix AD1 to provide flexibility, increased adhesion strength and reduced water permeability. Exceeds the requirements of h BS EN 12004 C2TE.


Primer:

Gypsum plaster substrates should be primed with either Prime APD, Primer or Bond SBR. Existing vinyl tile substrates should be primed with Bond SBR.


Features and benefits:


  • Enhanced bond strength.
  • Excellent non-slip.
  • Formulated for use with fully vitrified tiles (porcelain).
  • Water/ frost-resistant.
