Fast acting tile adhesive
Master tile makers are well aware that if the laying technology is not followed, even the best tile adhesive is not able to ensure the proper quality and durability of the cladding. Technologies vary depending on the facing material, surface material, as well as the type of work — internal or external.
However, for any masonry, the main requirement is to observe the time intervals between surface preparation, masonry itself, grouting joints and putting the cladding into operation. In simple terms, the glue and other materials must dry completely — otherwise you can forget about the durability of the lining.
But what to do if you need to put the facility into operation in the shortest possible time? Or, for example, to make urgent repairs? In this case, a rapidly hardening tile adhesive Teknofay Rapid C1FT is used, which we will talk about in more detail today.
Features of Teknofay Rapid C1FTThe adhesive has a cement base and is intended directly for objects that need to be put into operation within 24 hours.
The mixture has an elastic structure, as well as high resistance to sliding off vertical surfaces < 0.5 mm. Designed for laying ceramic tiles, natural stone on the surface of concrete, drywall and aerated concrete. It is also used on plaster.
Teknofay Rapid C1FT glue hardens within 6 hours, which allows you to grout the joints after 3-4 hours from the moment of laying the tile. The time of the open layer is 30 minutes, which makes the glue convenient to apply and work with. In general, working with a fast-hardening tile adhesive is no different from any other adhesive. To apply it, you will need the same tools as for the usual one. The manufacturer recommends using Teknofay Rapid C1FT at a temperature of 5 — 25 .
However, in cases where the weather conditions do not meet the requirements, it is possible to lay the tile as usual, after completing the work, covering the material with a heat-insulating layer. This will allow the glue to fully harden at the specified time. The adhesive is waterproof, however, it is necessary to protect the tile from moisture, as well as adverse environmental conditions — UV radiation, rain, snow, until the moment of solidification.
This glue is a real find in cases where masonry needs to be done as soon as possible. Teknofay Rapid C1FT is designed specifically for such cases, so you don't have to worry about the durability of the cladding.
