BAL Green Screed Adhesive (15Kg)

BAL Green Screed Adhesive is a polymer-modified, cement-based, flexible tile adhesive for newly laid floors. It is specifically designed for fast-track tiling on recently laid screeds/concrete, and on low porosity substrates. It is also fully water/frost-resistant and therefore suitable for use in wet and dry, interior and exterior environments (including total immersion areas such as swimming pools).

Key Features

• Coverage approx. 3.45m²

Quality and Standards

BAL Green Screed Adhesive conforms to EN 12004 C1S1

Instructions for use

• Ensure surfaces to be tiled are flat, clean, dry, sound and free from contamination (in wet rooms, bathrooms, showers or swimming pools, use Ardex WPC waterproof tanking system to first waterproof the substrate)
• Mix the product with clean cold water; 3.5 parts powder to 1 part water
  (Mix until smooth, lump-free consistency achieved)
• Using a trowel, apply the adhesive to the floor surface (max. 1m² at a time)
  (The size of notched trowel chosen, depends on the tile size, the surface being tiled, the profile on the back of the tile and the degree of coverage required - check out our wide range of trowels)
• Comb to required bed thickness (between 2-6mm) ensuring ribs all run in one direction
  (Note. if fixing large/heavily-patterned tiles, apply additional adhesive to tile reverse)
• Fix tiles before adhesive forms skin (typically 20 minutes at 20°C). If skin has formed, remove adhesive and apply fresh layer
• Press tile firmly into the ribs of the adhesive and into position, with slight twisting/sliding action to ensure optimum adhesive contact (tiles can be adjusted for up to 20 minutes after initial positioning)
• Ensure you have left adequate joint spaces between tiles for grouting
• Clean off surplus adhesive from tile face and between tile joints

Recommendations

BAL Green Screed Adhesive is not suitable for use with limestone, travertine and some granite, due to staining; in this case use Ardex X7 Rapid W (White), BAL Rapidset Flexible White, BAL Single Part Flexible White or BAL Super Cover Rapid Flex White.
