CLASSIFICATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH EN 12004 Keralastic is an improved (2) reaction adhesive (R) classified as class R2. Keralastic T is an improved (2) reaction adhesive (R) and slip resistant (T) classified as R2T. Conformity of Keralastic and Keralastic T is declared in ITT certificates n° 25040320/Gi (TUM) and n° 25040471/Gi (TUM) respectively, issued by the Technische Universität München laboratory (Germany). WHERE TO USE Indoor and outdoor, bonding of wall and floor ceramic tiles, stone material mosaics, etc. on: · screeds, renders, concrete, asphalt, wood, metal, PVC, reinforced polyester, fibre-cement, gypsum, gypsum board, gypsum panels, etc. Some application examples · Bonding ceramic tiles, stone material and all types of mosaics in showers and on sheets used for prefabricated bathrooms. · Bonding ceramic tiles and mosaics on wooden work surfaces or in kitchens in order to achieve a waterproof substrate. · Bonding ceramic tiles, stone material and mosaics on balconies, external terraces, domes or flat roofs subject to foot traffic. · Bonding natural stones and reconstructed stone (marble of every type, slate, etc.) also subject to movement and size variation due to the absorption of water (class C of size stability according to MAPEI standards). · Bonding ceramic tiles and stone material on surfaces subject to vibrations and deflections. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Keralastic and Keralastic T are two-component, solvent and water free adhesives which are flexible and waterproof. They are made up of a polyurethane base (component A) and a special hardener (component B). On mixing the two components together, the result is a paste with the following properties: · good workability; · excellent durability and resistant to ageing; · perfect adhesion to all surfaces used in building; · hardens by chemical reaction without shrinkage (until it becomes highly resistant); · high deformability; · in the case of Keralastic T, highly thixotropic: it can be applied vertically without slump and without letting even heavy or large tiles slip. The slipping strength is in compliance with EN 1308
